Dot Pad Tetris is much snappier now thanks to their latest SDK's. Track me down at CSUN if you wanna play or I'll post a URL soon.

@Jage Does the dot pad have a respectable api? I'm trying to get access to Monarch and its internals to produce oscilloscope / live data mapping/visualization and they look at me like I sprouted a third working eye.

Been reviewing Spanish with duolingo. Of course they now have an AI conversationalist that you call on the phone. I'm ahead in my knowledge for lots of things, but I'm getting to a point in lessons where I need to follow there ordering. In today's call with Lilly, the stoner girl that knows how to speak Spanish, I threw some complex words and ideas at her to see if she would keep me at the level of my lessons. Turns out she sounds like a stoner, but when she asked me how I was and then I said I was tired. Somehow we got onto the topic of what I like to do before bed and I told her I liked reading. Then we went all Spanish crazy and talked about scifi and fantasy books we liked. Impressive for those that need to practice Spanish conversation.

Of course I like the Uber model of conversation, but this was cool too.O

Seems as if i'm gonna have access to a radio based as in my amateur radio will create a astra level I time server for my network. Why you ask, do I need this? No reason really except for if I need it at some point in the future, I won't have to send the radio back and forth. The real reason for having a 10 mHz reference is that my reference source that is crystal based in most cases will not be stabilized using a GPS receiver. It'll ultimately make sure that signals don't drift if I do satellite work or do time critical digital modes. This radio is truly fascinating and boundless feature wise. Will put in my order for Flex 8600 and other stuff such as a modern switching power supply etc. My older equipment still works, but it's all starting to be a bit long in the tooth, so looks as if I'm getting on HF again soon. Really excited.

@BorrisInABox @gtbray @jfayre neat thing is that you can connect to me for instance and have the full jj flex radio experience since it's a client. Two can use the thing at once.J

@gtbray @jfayre Nope it's a standard windows app. Has to be since the panadapter or the waterfall as some call it is displayed with braille. I plan on sonifying it too.

Anyone else having problems using 1password with Windows? It says it';s a Chrome legacy window and just says unknown over and over again. I can get it to work with JAWS but that's not a cool deal. Haven't tried the beta / other version as of yet.

ner OP ,
@ner@fwoof.space avatar

@blindndangerous Yes, I am guessing that on your system, it'll break within the day. When it does, though not recommended, run NVDA as admin until they fix things / we work with MS to have them fix the Sewptember / October updates which have suppopsedly been part of what's caused this. Affects bitwarden as well and possibly other electron apps but I'm not 100% on this one.

@blindndangerous Glad you fixed your issue. It's a known issue and something that's been reported to 1password and NVAccess. I can't fix mine as wmuch as it seems you havce except by running NVDA in admin mode.

@VE3RWJ Wonder what is occurring to block it? You tried with chrome and firefox? I'm using the app, what are you doing with Chrome and Firefox, logging on the 1password.com?

I will say that we're now using json to generate net schedules. You won't see a difference but my web hosting bill sure does. Also, not to disappoint. Shipped schedules on "my time". Hams are good at time conversion but why? Click either my time or net time to view nets whereever you are. Add utc for free by checking the utc checkbox.
