Greetings List Lurkers, The good news is more rain in Central Vermont...
We really need this as maybe we can break the drought! FALL FALLS... I was able to clear the Maple leaves that fell from the five trees in the backyard. I was able to blow them into our Bug House, and then transport these to SugarTower. I am proud. UPDATE: The most hated tractor in Vermont actually starts. for all those who wish to purchase this tractor will be on the block by Christmas... The perfect gift for the Masochist in your life, just make certain to overpay for this beast. God I hate this tractor! PLEASE let winter come so I can think less about farm equipment... 004 Society "Library of TechnoRubble" In the Dewey Decimal System, 004 Computer science encompasses books and materials related to data processing and computer science, including computer hardware, software, and networking. The Dewey Decimal System supports such a system. What do you think of developing a lending system for TechnoRubble? I am taking my time drafting a proposal... SUMMER DREAMS FADE FOR A YEAR As the summer winds down, my effort to actually plan an event at SugarTower. from a planning perspective, we need to consider next summer (If we survive :^), so we plan. The working title for contemplated festival is either "Wierdo Fest" or "Wierdo Juiblee". What do you think? I would like to have a Pig Roast party that lasts into the evening! These ambitious plans for next spring include my dream of a meet up of Adult Swim at SugarTower. For part of 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... Otherwise I am still playing with opencode (https://opencode.ai/) check it out!! We have been sorting the Drek in the shipping containers and constructing a temporary enclosure so that we can get things organized at the SugarTower Tech Pavilion... 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: - 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) Could the answer be to have the "inhale" code from git? - Need to write/revise "menubot.sh", a FED menu generator. Maybe with the help of opencode.com? Could opencode help me generate a general menu generator (GMG :^)? So far opencode is thinking aboout it... - 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? Or maybe Git? - Could all tie into Kubernetes? ...so more about these foolish ideas is available tonight, 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 0https://meet.jit.si/bosi to connect.
