I took a covid-test (far from my first) the other day and got a negative result yesterday. Linn got her result today and it was unfortunately positive. So Happy Easter I guess…

I got the FlashForge Adventurer 3. That photo was from the very first print I did with it so thus far I don’t know if I can recommend it or not.
Generally speaking I haven’t done much 3D printing but when I started trying it out for the πFi Music Player I also started thinking about whether to get one for myself or not and when I started looking around I found this one on sale. The machine I’d used previously to that is the printer that we have at work and that one is a different FlashForge model so I figured getting a similar but smaller model for myself would be a good decision.
@MrHenko Thanks for your reply. It all looks very interesting to me, but I really shouldn’t get another hobby. Even so, I think there’s a lot of little things that I could fix using such a machine. I’m terrible at 3D construction though, so maybe it’s not for me…
@odd Yeah, that’s how I keep rationalizing the purchase to myself. ”Imagine all the things that I can make that makes life easier.” 😀
But it is a very fun toy to have! And the web is full of free things to print while you build up your own 3D modeling skills.
This looks like a simple yet functional way to design the cover of the Pi for the πFi.

This photo was taken six years ago, almost to the minute, right after we came home with our daughter for the first time.
Happy birthday Iris!
Apparently I haven’t blogged about, and therefore not really done anything about, the πiFi Music Player for over a year. I’m changing that right now.
Oh yeah, this year I also read ”House of X”/”Powers of X”. Thanks The Incomparable.
I still have a hard time to reconcile the fact that reading fiction, that was such a large part of my identity as a child and a teen, is something that I do so rarely these days. Part of that is how slowly I get through even books I really love from authors that are among my favourites.
Case in point, William Gibson and his ”Blue Ant Trilogy”. According to my Reading page I read Pattern Recognition in 2013 and now, in august 2020, I finished Zero History. I really like Gibson and this trilogy has been a blast but still it’s taking my seven years to get through.
I wonder how much time I’ve spent browsing timelines and listening to people going on and on about the same things in podcasts during those same seven years.
That being said, this year might be a bit different. As I said, I’ve just finished Pattern Recognition but I’m also half-way through a bunch of books, some audio books some paper/Kindle books. I occasionally actually manages to convince myself to read a bit for pure pleasure. That makes me happy.

2 april, 2021 19:47@jeremycherfas Thanks Jeremy. Linn’s cooking risotto and drinking wine so thus far the symptoms are quite mild. :)
I felt fine up until she read her test results. At that point hypochondria kicked in and I’ve had a teeny tiny ache in my throat during the day but it’s probably psychosomatic.

2 april, 2021 19:49@odd Thank you Odd, so far the symptoms are mild and we are having a good day. Fortunately we have a well stocked fridge, a big house and a nice garden so as long as we don’t get very ill we’ll be fine.
