Greetings List Lurkers, Welcome to a cloudy day at the end of August, in Vermont...
I am being distracted by tractors.... Please let winter come so I can think less about farm equipment. My favorite app of the month remains opencode (https://opencode.ai/) check it out!! SUMMER DREAMS DEFERRED The working title for contemplated festival is either "Wierdo Fest" or "Wierdo Juiblee". What do you think? These ambitious plans for next spring include my dream of a meet up of Adult Swim at SugarTower. I like to have a Pig Roast party that lasts into the eveninig! For this future event, I intend to keep the working title "Open Source Summer Camp" (OSSC): http://docbox.flint.com:8081/geekland/#Open_Source_Summer_Camp_(OSSC). One angle I would like to pursue would be to add a "Renaissance Festival" vibe to this planned gathering. All this is so far a dream... What do you think? Spending too much time with tractors at SugarTower, no time for Open Source Tech... That all said we have a meeting tonight at 6PM. The life lesson here is that serious development remains for the winter. Winter should allow us to answer questions like: - Need to write/revise "menubot.sh", a FED menu generator. - Can I take a Caterpillar 315L and combine it with an ABB robot arm in order to do large scale 3D printing? - Can I combine the hardware and software into a "looperplex" (a musical instrument)? possibly about using RP2350? - A VIAOC based Arduino and Pi development environment that "Breaths" Code. By itself the concept of "breathing" code is essential and is really not part of the RP2040 / RP2350 architecture. I have not discovered how to get the code off of these buggers. http://docbox.flint.com:8081/geekland/#Virtual_Immutability_Associated_Containers_(VIAOC) - Can I use the upgraded to Ubuntu Jetson AI and Tabby to generate VisualBash scripts? (see https://github.com/dylanaraps/pure-bash-bible) - Would it make sense to store VisualBash functions in MariaDB? - Could all tie into Kubernetes? ...so more about these foolish ideas is available this Monday evening at 6 PM at the York Library in beautiful East Barre Vermont. Thus we are convalescing, centralizing and convocating at the York Branch Library this evening. That said, come in person or remotely and bring this and any Open Source or other problems and questions and we shall do our thing! Again this evening, beyond the Library face-2-face & gizmo-2-gizmo, we shall use https://meet.jit.si/bosi to connect.
