Just Do It Challenge: Revival Edition

I’ll do the fan fiction: Wendell, Ryan, and Kreestuh’s journey to hostile northern territory (Canada) and meet with an ancient mage and his council (Linus Sebastian and LTX). The ancient mage is stuck in his ways, refusing to bend to the new era of magick (GNU/Qt/systemd/Linux). But the Winds of Fortune are changing, and the Overlord Romulus Gates and his Lord Marshall Drunks Ballmer are shifting in order to capitalize on the changing of the seasons.

Can the L1T crew convince the ancient mage and his ilk to rally against the Overlord and his army? Or will a new Dark Age over take them, one with proprietary FOSS that is Free as in TOTALITARIANISM?

I prefer the ending where everyone stops acting like a fucking wad and just uses their computer happily ever after.

I would love to join in, but RL is pushing me hard lately so I won’t have the free time for that.
Can offer a prise though…

I, uh, might have gotten a little out of control with the story.

Started a mini-series on making a Linux workstation. The series will be done by the deadline.

Not sure if this can count, but I’ll submit this for feedback and stay on the story for the contest.

My participation to Just do it comp is:
I’ll play classic world of warcraft this month on linux machine and probably ruin my life by doing so.
Sounds like good times, right?

Just got info that i didn’t get in a tech school… But i have other fishes in the bond to catch. Never have all eggs in one basket.

Perhaps i will read another 2 tech book this month, or one really really well.

Day job and kids has me swamped but I would be interested in putting together a small report on what I do for a day job if anyone is interested.

My work is a little out of the ordinary and I also just sealed the deal to do some Precision AG work that some on here would find interesting.

If anyone would like to see that let me know. If not, I’ll leave well enough alone and try to get in on this next time.

Not to troll or anything, but I have created a present in the wash room. Must be a foot long and a half something.

I should make the monospace generator cli friendly and distribute it as someone mentioned in the programming post… but there are so many sh#t for me to do, including college and work

Hmmmm…

I’ve been meaning to do some performance analysis on using iSCSI vs NFS on Proxmox for quite sometime. So consider me in! (Giving one’s self a deadline maybe the nudge required to actually do this)

Are there any performance metrics people would like to see?

Count me in.
I need to finish my Rpi radio I posted a while back: RPI RADIO

As it stands now I need:

  • to print some stuff out
  • make a very flat usb cable probably solder directly to the pins (preferebly on both sides)
  • buy good speakers
  • get a good 24V power supply
  • document and upload everything so anybody can replicate or improve.

I’m in.

I will finish up my current case project: Casemod Project: "Strobe" - Building new case from scratch

I have old Logitech MX518 lying around. Works fine but the sticky coating on it has worn out and it’s just in bad shape, so I’ll do something like this again: Recoating my old SteelSeries Sensei mouse

Timetable for these projects are TBA, but I have two week vacation in early September so I’m most likely going to work at least one of these projects soon™

There’s few more projects I could submit to this challenge, but I will shill those here IF I find time for them.

@kewldude007 @wendell

Does engineer mean actually build? Ive been building and designing a simple AM radio to teach how asynchronous demodulation works. I could do a write up here as part of the just do it challenge :slight_smile: including instructions on how to do it yourself and learn how it works by building it? Im more than willing to share my work and how it works. Though its not like they havent been made before. I just designed it a bit different than the common diode reciever. :slight_smile: So it wouldnt violate the academic integrity part as its my own circuit

I started it this month

I just wanted to know because I could post a video is what I was getting at :slight_smile:

In order to share the files it might be nice to be able to upload the spice files (.asc .asy .sub) unless you guys prefer google drive :slight_smile: (mainly to control the ACL)
