05:18 schestowitz; <p>This machine is incredibly complex, as it doesnt rely on any mechanical coupling. That means that every facet of the machines operation is adjustable via a stepper motor, DC motor, or servo motor. There are a lot of motors to drive, so de Meester needed multiple Arduino boards: an Arduino Mega 2560 and two Arduino Nanos. The mechanical components are 3D-printed (like the shuttles) or made from
05:18 schestowitz; aluminum extrusion and wood (like the frame).</p>

07:42 schestowitz; <p>In 2018, attending the UN forum on business and human rights, I blogged a photo of the Afghan president and made some brief comments about the possibility of Twitter falling into the wrong hands.</p>
07:42 schestowitz; <p>The full video is available from UN Web TV. There is an extract below where Bennett Freeman of the Global Network Initiative gives some interesting responses to my comments.</p>

09:01 schestowitz; <p>It was announced a couple of hours ago, Emacs 29s branch is now cut from the master branch! This means the emacs-29 branch will from now no longer receive any new feature, but only bug fixes.</p>
09:01 schestowitz; <p>So, whats new with this new major release? I skimmed over the NEWS file, and here are the changes which I find interesting and even exciting for some.</p>
