I havent had a monday like this in a while

In case anyone was waiting for Twitter login/account connection to work again, it is now fixed. Most of you probably didn't realise that it had broken, but it was, and now it isn't.

I got bored at work...

 
 
I love my job!

Well done Sony

news flash;
 
belgium's national football team is still garbage.

Just found out that the Krispy Kreme that I drive past on my way to work has a click and collect drive through. It's going to be hard to resist using that.

RIP reviews. Press F to pay respects

Oooohhh!!! The "reviews" got removed!!!

Lifted bone + small crack.
 
I'm gonna have to see an orthopedic surgeon about my ankle.
 
All because of me being an idiot with a suitcase on the stairs 300 miles away from home.

SO FREAKING HAPPY that SGDQ is back once again
It is without a doubt, one of the absolute best possible events and for a great cause(s)!

Maybe attempt 4 I would have learned enough to not have the print fail?
 
Print 1: nozzle knocked into part
print 2: printer knocked into part again
print 3: fixed collision issue but in my rushing it was too poor quality, threads didn't hold
print 4: in-progress

Have an FX 8350 in the mail on the way for $15. Supposedly it just has some bent pins. Nothing I haven't fixed before. If it works I'll be stoked!  If not, well at least it'll make a nice desk ornament.  

Going out in the lake today 

HONEY, I SWEAR I CLICKED ON THE SNACK BOX! I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT GOT THERE!
 

Confirmed, my grandparents graduation gift to me is a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 4GB

I got a USB 2.0 USB-C to -C cable for my keyboard
 
c:
 
Now the unused USB-C port on my motherboard is used

Oooooooo...according to my sister and her friends (all medicine students), they think I may have Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Considering HCM's symptoms matches exactly the issues my mother have/has had (she's only very recently had an echo and physical ECG done so we have no idea whether she has a heart problem or not), I guess it would make a lot of sense for me to have HCM as there's a 50% chance in inheriting it if one of your parents has it. 
 
Please don't be anything significant...
Hey, at least with EASA, I can still get a class one with OML restrictions (i.e. other pilot must have a full, unrestricted medical) but I won't be able to get a JCAB class one as cardiomyopathy is an automatic disqualification. Lets just hope my murmur is nothing significant as otherwise as I would like to keep my life plan. 

so.. about 16 hours of work put in...
finished the MUX board something like 4 hours ago..
 
i'm actually sorta proud of how the white wires turned out, not so much about the rest..
after putting the mux board in there was stupid amounts of testing, trial & error, repairing, trying again...
 
but eventually.. it's done and functional
and it looks like the sort of equipment that would be used in guantanamo bay..
and i dont have tops for the joysticks yet, but i have plans for those.

more progress (and mess) was made today..
 
first i assembled the 32-button keypad:
then i took a brief moment to be proud of my work:
and after lunch i've done about half of the MUX board, which is the final piece of the puzzle:
i've also started working on the case, with lots of glue drying.

lots of progress (and mess..) made today:
 
soldered the components onto the analog board:
and soldered the connections on the analog board:
then i also prepared the pots as well:
and to celebrate the progress and to confirm i'm not a moron i wrote a draft program for the arduino and played a (very) brief round of flight sim with something that looks like this:
tomorrow i'm gonna sort out propper mounting for the joysticks, mount the pots, and figure out the mux for the 32 buttons.
