Working on my slides for an intro-to-UART talk aimed at fledgling hardware hackers. I've been meaning to do this for a while, but now it's focused on tools a lot of people might already have laying around at home.

Building a DC UPS for some of my infrastructure. I had been postponing this as long as my RIPE ATLAS probe was rockin' a 6-month-plus uptime, but a corrupted flash drive ended that. Soooo, time for a whole pile of Schottky diodes! :)

Tending to my pepper and tomato seedlings. It's too cold to put them outside yet, so they're in my kitchen oriel window alongside my GPS/GNSS monitoring receiver.

Learning systemd unit files so I can have better startup and log-rotate and stuff for said monitoring receiver.

Tinkering with Docker and TheLounge so I have a better handle on my always-online IRC client, and maybe other stuff that might end up running on that box.
