Free-spirited professional maker. I lose interest in stuff I already know so I keep on exploring and learning about almost anything.

@davepl1968 Hey, got the same nice deal for iambic "Bump Attack Pinball" in 2002 (afaik) on Palm OS. Was sold by Sony with their Clié devices.
Pretty cool memories (c++ / autogenerated ASM, perl and a small tokenized scripting language for the missions).

@Rainmaker1973 Meh. A plane that carries planes ? 🤔🤭

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@openscad What a pity, I just discovered today that he passed out 😢

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@SomethinSlix @Rainmaker1973 Think about it the other way: play the music and create a new semi random bounce on each new note, then interpolate the points to a hull/envelope 😁

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@page_eco And if you are colorblind, just answer randomly because of the very poor set of colors.
Hint: use hue/saturation/contrast/texture/shape/whatever rich mix of information for more inclusive but trivial UX.

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@RexChapman Obviously super affordable for everyone.

@adrianbowyer Hey right! These boards almost stopped me from doing electronics. I mean, once they show the concept works, I lose the incentive and I keep them in a drawer for years and one wire end up disconnected. Unreliable ! 🤭

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@PR0GRAMMERHUM0R And reciprocally, so many"full"stack developers who only know about nodejs, PHP or python as "server side", snobbing anything below - like all what makes a server run ;)
This hyped word is pretty fuzzy 🤪

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@IrevDev One of my best memories is a compiler I wrote in perl for the "missions" of a C++/ASM pinball for Palm OS waaay back in time (iambic bump attack) ... But nobody ever seemed impressed or willing to talk about this subject 😁

@sjowall69 Et des licornes, des licornes partout! Mais ça va bien, la bourse de Paris vient même de dépasser la city, tout baigne :)

@cfenollosa I have been using Mail-in-a-box for years, hosted on a virtual server at Scaleway and only had some trouble with a few hotmail accounts (bc MS blacklists whole ip range) It is still infuriating, esp. when my security is better than most of the major mail providers (SFP, DKIM...)

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@foosel Well, this is still CAD : cardboard aided design.

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@Mark_kaosat_dev You beat me by one month! Hope you'll get through easily

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@dascandy42 @adrianbowyer Sobriety. Or conformance to the law of physics ?

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@RichRap3D @RMCRetro @NintendoArcade Superb place for an Arkanoid, isn't it ?

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@toms3dp Try to think "tech for good", even though sobriety among makers is hard ;)
I almost managed to stop buying infinite interesting chinese modules or funky filament unless I had a real, useful project for them.
TBH I soon realized it was rare :)

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@adrianbowyer Or buy it second hand and old enough so it is out of warranty and you can start hacking it at last. If we really owned or Zoe it would look into V2G. New cars are just vehicles for marketing and obscure extorsion.

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@adrianbowyer Admittedly I'd look for it in the kitchen drawer with the knives and spoons.
Wait, did you said *garden* fork ?

[Jérémie François @tridimake]

@foosel Eh I recently worked with cadquery, because I wanted real curves and .step output.
I found it particularly hard to get into, but mostly as I am fully intoxicated by openscad CSG way of thinking.
Pretty cool CAD though + very small community or. outstanding signal/noise ratio!
