Guess we’ll see how well this works.
No comic this week because I was out freezing my fingers off playing with the telescope to see the conjunction.
You can see Jupiter as the large disk with Saturn, the oblong bit to the right of Jupiter. The four Galilean moons can be seen in a line starting above and left of Jupiter to the very faint one almost at the bottom of the picture (directly under Saturn).
It’s a little over exposed in order to get all the moons. Also, there is a chromatic problem you can note along the edges of each object. The scope probably needs a touch-up on the collimation (not something I want to do during the winter months).
We moved to a new server with a new PHP version that has nicely hosed the existing links, including RSS. So, if you have been following us on RSS, you should use the current link at the bottom of the page.
Since I am moving from Massachusetts to Colorado this month, comic update will be on hiatus until the beginning of September, at least.
I finally uploaded a video I made based on the Clash of the Tech comic.
It was done using a skill I wrote for Mycroft, a voice assistant like, well, dislexa. In fact, it thinks it is dislexa in this case.
Sorry about the lack of posts – unusual real life issues.
The last three weekends were spent retiling the kitchen. bathroom, laundry room, closet and connecting hallway. The old linoleum was curling up along the edges and seams, partly due to being 24 years old and partly due to a not-so-great installation job. So, it was decided to retile the area and cut the cost somewhat by doing it myself along with help of my trusty, talented friends (being in the “Trade Help with Home Construction Tasks” crowd).
Of course, that means that I had to move everything off the floor of said rooms until it was done (yesterday). Said stuff was all over the rest of the house, including the family room, dining room, garage and office, the last of which meant it was blocking my way to the laptop I do the comic on. Now that it’s done, I have to move everything back.
Joy.
Hopefully, I’ll have a path cleared to my laptop and can get a comic out later this week (no bets).
