Oh dear. Guess I’ll take the link out of my profile name here, so this profile can stay up as a placeholder; enough of my friends have already found me at the obvious place 😅

@fauxparse This is indeed a true story! I was there for the Macarena performance, but missed the consulate adventure because I had a separate exam to do back in New Zealand, and was busy nearly missing flights in both Singapore and Mumbai while trying to join you and the others 😳

We did it! This is what I've been working on for the past 10 months: https://t.co/LWaodt0JMY #steamonchromeos

@dermstore Help! I paid for a Dermstore order via PayPal (and the money went through) but the order never got created on the site.

@JLCPCB @Raspberry_Pi @EbenUpton @arturo182 @timonsku Out of stock 😭 Do you have a lead time on getting more in?

[Phillip Pearson @myelin]

This chip shortage is no joke... guess I should have stocked up on ATSAMD21E18A chips a few months back! Time to go see if any of my boards (https://t.co/WD8NmVKmGq and https://t.co/GpHzAa0AxY) will work with the ATSAMD21E17D instead.

@sistronk Must be a different @myelin... I don’t know any of these people 😁

@United Help! Plane changed after booking and we lost our seats; now my 10 month old daughter sitting next to a stranger for 12 hour flight. Helpline hung up on us after 30 min.

@TubeTimeUS Acorn Electron! (Pictured: my current one with WIP FPGA mod.)

Props to whoever designed the Lattice LCMXO2 FTG256 ball map -- love the symmetry and lack of hard to route IOs right in the middle!

@uhaul I haven't been able to access my account for months because the verification codes aren't getting through to my email. Is this a known issue?

[Phillip Pearson @myelin]

Fascinating to look at the VOC levels in the air at home during painting (thanks to @getawair) with fast-drying shellac primer; safe level is 300 ppb and it spiked to 38k ppb for an hour or so! The little spike later on is from the follow up coats of "zero VOC" paint.

BBC Micro connected to a @Raspberry_Pi emulating a 6502 co-processor #VCFwest #PiTubeDirect

We have a lot of versions of Elite #VCFwest

Interesting commentary by Adafruit on the likely direction of “maker” hardware and toolchains https://t.co/gFqF39I8WS

*Now* I see why programmable logic people hate asynchronous resets. Spent all evening tracking down a heisenbug that I'm now pretty sure was caused by ringing on an SPI select line into a CPLD. Of course the bug went away as soon as I connected up a logic analyzer!

Oh wow, the CMSIS-DAP JTAG support I implemented for OpenOCD in 2016 and then forgot about ended up in the main distribution -- thanks to Maksym Hilliaka for picking that up! https://t.co/YNYOPBooIK

@brianm I’m a small fish in a big pond... nice to know I’m not invisible though!

Just ported the HID-SWD/JTAG part of ARM's CMSIS-DAP firmware to the Pro Micro and Teensy 3.2 https://t.co/dLzXDLJHNV
