I know it's been awhile, life got in the way. My son picked out the next few colors. Ended up buying a couple of red heart skeins that he liked. Sorry for the dirty keyboard...😬 I tried looking for a bigger loom with the same spacing but I don't have one.
Current stripes:
My pack of three ESP32C3. Arrived empty. The package wasn't sealed. Trying to get replacements was two to three weeks out. Just got the refund processed. I was so looking forward to the blinky led. Oh well , I really wanted a different core anyway.
Just placed my order for a group of three ESP32-C3 mini boards.
I can't wait to see what I can make them do. It's been 20 years since Ive done any bare-metal programming, so I Im looking forward to it. Just the thought of creating a Forth gives me goosebumps!
Thank you all for the great subreddit; it has made me want to do this again.
You would be surprised on how many of my best inks/color are picked by my wife. Sorry everyone, she is mine!
When you have the free time to sit back and enjoy the repetition of knit & purl. What do you do?
I listen to not very deep audiobooks I get from libby. I have to be careful because I have made mistakes, but I just can't have it dead quite.
21 years ago today (about 2 hours ago), I lost my son and his mother. Medical malpractice.
Your lizard brain remembers even when the rest of you doesn't want to deal with it. I didn't understand last night why I couldn't sleep. Only got about 3 hours, and that wasn't solid. Until I sat down to work, and my computer happily showed me the date. That's when everything started crashing down on me
Grief ebbs and flows, as we all know. Some days are easy, and days like today, I'm fighting to even breathe.
I remarried, and she is a wonderful woman. She took my 18-month-old son as her own and is truly an exceptional mother. I don't know what I would have done without her. Yet, I face this pain alone. I have never wanted her to feel like she is competing with a ghost. Which I bet is all in my head, not hers.
For her sake, I've got to pull myself together, at least on the surface.
Hi everyone.
I Im not a mathematician and Ive been out of school for 30+ years, but Collatz is just a fun little CPU-time waster.
I believe that the Collatz conjecture will never be definitively proven. Since there is an infinite number of positive integers, you can always add 1 and get infinite + 1. So there are infinitely many even and odd numbers, and that will always lead to 4 2 1 no matter how large the integer is.
It is just my belief, nothing more. But writing code to run the numbers is enjoyable. Looking for a way to parallelize it at the moment. Spread it out over cores and networked machines.
Why, because I get bored sometimes.
Peace and Love.
I just turned 57. I didn't think it would bother me. 50 and 55 just breezed by. But I am having difficulty with 57. I'm BP1 and that might play into it but I am stable. My wife turned 49 the day before my birthday, that might be part of it too. I don't know. I guess I just needed to say it, maybe it would help if I put my voice into it.
Carry on and ignore the crazy Texan.
Wasn't able to do anything over the long weekend.
Last night and lunch was a frenzy of knitting.
Stripe #2. 10 pegs, should get me 3.25" width. Now just 7 feet of back-n-forth.
I have an i5 just sitting here doing nothing worth a darn. So I coded up a program to generate the largest stopping times. I don't know what I will do with it, most likely nothing, but hey, I'm doing something. These are the last 5 so far. As you can imagine, it takes longer and longer for each number. Its max will be 18,446,744,073,709,551,615, then I will have to switch to big numbers. I don't expect to get close to that number.

I found a post about knitpurlstitches.com. I sort of remember the site.
As I looked around, the patterns didn't make sense. They just looked wrong, then I remembered, right side / wrong side. You've got to flip the stitches on the wrong side!
My goodness, I spent way too much time remembering that! I am in the process of rewriting the ones I like and looking for a book of loom stitches I have somewhere.
Hello all. 20 years ago, when I was still doing photography and photoshop, there was a fellow on flikr that was well known for using a specific plugin. To my eyes, it was an extreme contrast boost with edge enhancement.
It was a patented process that is long since expired. I'd like to work with the algorithm, but I can't recall the photographer, the patent holder, or the patent name.
Does anyone remember what I am hunting for?
