I really hope this does well, since it’s for charity and also awesome!

JetBrains released their IDE font: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/ it’s pretty nice!

I like the ligatures although speaking to my colleagues a lot of them really don’t (ligatures in general that is).

I love these “copper tape” circuits https://hackaday.com/2020/01/15/the-flexible-permanence-of-copper-tape-circuits/

Found a really (suspiciously?) cheap FT817 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00OD1432I - £309.00

It’s not currently in stock but this is a great price for “The Art of Electronics (3rd edition)” https://www.amazon.co.uk/Electronics-Winfield-Hill-Paul-Horowitz/dp/0521809266 £23.50!

I must have paid about £50 when I was an undergrad back in the 00s 😂

Got a lovely anodised red case for my new 60% keyboard. Really pleased with the effect!

Slightly old news, but this business card which also runs linux is neat: https://www.thirtythreeforty.net/posts/2019/12/my-business-card-runs-linux/

Today’s project was Cordwood Puzzle 1, a secret santa present from a good mate.

Just hard enough to complete without cheating! (although I should have left the leads longer to keep things symmetrical).

Oh, and Happy New Year all!
