3/10/2020

Started with some small stuff, then did some more work on the 3d print enclosure after a relevant email reply, and some tinkering in the tinkercad file (ps tinkercad is bad)

Then did some muckraking looking for the OpenRC controller files, got nothing, may be a dead end outside of their concept + guides + diagrams

Then did some fire saftey stuff

Then did some wire managment + spicing stuff

Finally Did some stuff on ink for stamps and pens etc

3/10/2020

Ive been volunteering a local animal shelter so was busy walkin dogs and pettin cats etc so not spamming the wiki with AS much edits

Was watchin some youtube and saw 2 intresting diy/open source 3d printers one was for binder jetting, and the other seemed like an entirely new process

Made pages for both of those

Then moved on to some more electron tech stuff, been obsessing over it recently (CRTs and Vacuum Tubes etc), perhaps User:Marcin can help with their degree? not high priority but EBM is one HELL of a 3D Printing tech

Also updated/refined a half baked construction set on stuff i don't really understand

Still plotting my makerspace in a box ideas

Trying to get that 3D Printer Enclosure all put together and ready for anyone to easily make, as well as make an ose adaption perhaps + aid in the original development (sent an email to the designer for collaboration request)

Moved back to some lighting tech

Sulfur lamps are really intresting, but are underdeveloped and may go into the graveyard with thin CRTs, Mechanical PCs and other thech that is possible yet not FULLY developed due to focus on other tech, will tinkker with it some day

LEDs THOUGH, can make full on daylight at night, some require watercooling which is hilariously excessive sounding

Then went from there to watercooling

Then moved on to efficiency stuff

Finally Did some template outlines (FINALLY), outlined some ideas i had for improving these templates, and added MOAR MACROS.

I have officially used up all 5 of my laptop's macro keys...

Time to turn that yard sale keyboard into a macro keyboard, gotta grab that label maker...

Thats about it

2/27/2020

Added some more semi-useful stuff:

A PILE of Redirects (May want to make a bot or somthing as it can get VERY tedious, even with macros and C+P)

More info on Geodesic Domes

Stuff on Cement Impregnated Fabric

Stuff on some road stuff

Some high tech agriculture stuff, I would DEFINELY reccomend the series of videos on the "Plant Factory" page, very in depth and intresting. (i THINk they posted their sources too, could be a good information mine)

2/26/2020

OOOOOF

Did a pile of semi-useful stuff

ADHD Hyperfocusing + Caffeine really does wonders...

WILL TRY TO START LOGING AGAIN

hours are inprecise based off of the "Recently Changed" page, I did take occasional breaks adjusting other tabs, messing with glitchy hardware, and a dinner break, so time is only semi-accurate.

Today I:

• Did some page organisation and increasing links/redirects
• Added some more info on
  • Composites
  • Metallurgy
  • Cathodic Protection
  • Precious Plastic's Work
  • Other Various stuff that popped in my head, or that I rabbit holed into
  • Also suggested some bots, my coding experience is little if any, so esentiall armchair thinking (There as well as many other places lol), but these would improve efficiency, productivity, and accuracy, as well as encourage international collaboration, so they may be worth investing some time (Especially all you programmers out there)

I also don't know the limitations of what we CAN code for the wiki

• Chrome Plugins, and Window/Linux Software, may be a way around this, but sound like even more of a mess

10/24/2019

• Haven't logged in forever
• It's geting pretty late so my contributions are starting to get pretty sloppy so i'll stop now
• Watched a bunch of videos by the youtube channel "Thought Emporiom"
• Due to that I FOUND A MAKERSPACE IN JACKSONVILLE!
• Then I found out that that one shut down due to funding issues, so i'm still looking (although I did find out they still do hackathons etc, they jusdt don't have a space. I did contact them and will see what comes from that)
• I made a poster design for collecting intrested people to start an OSE Club at UNF
• I am debating doing so as it is a lot of work, and uni is rough enough as is for my ADHD self, but IT'S TEMPTING
• Recently I have Been Attempting to instal OSE Linux on a live usb, but it has been a bit glitchy, so I'm still working on that
• I have contacted a few people on youtube to see if they would like to collaborate so we will se what comes from that\
