@revspace After a few days of work, implementing 3 missing libc functions, repairing an extra 4MB of RAM, hacking around toolchain issues, we finally got Lynx 2.8.2 compiled and running on the VAX-11/750 (in 4.3 BSD Quasijarus)! That means we got to browse the (non-HTTPS) web using no equipment or parts newer than 1986 this side of the network (besides the AUI 10Base-T phy).

Do I write a new blog page on my current tracker build, or post a series of "build update" mastodon posts, or see about writing up an instructables.com or Hackaday.io post?
I have an awful lot of pictures, e.g. showing how I made the little button caps and holders for the "soft press" buttons.

Hey #Badgelife creators, fans, or collectors. Read and boost this!

In January I will be in DC for some meetings. Because I will be there anyway, I reached out to some of the curators at the Smithsonian to ask them to meet. To my surprise, they accepted!

I want to bring them some awareness of the Badgelife community and projects, because I think Badgelife represents an incredible amount of creativity, innovation, and technological advancement, and it's happening right under everyone's noses!

So I'd like to ask: If you had an opportunity to share something about what Badgelife means to you, how it is advancing human ingenuity, or just what it means for creativity in the 21st century: What would you like me to share with the folks at the Smithsonian about Badgelife?

Share your pics. Share links to your projects. Share your stories of playing weird proximity games over NFC or wifi. Why do electronic badges make you happy? How do people use them to tell stories? Tag it #SmithsonianBadgelife so we can find it and collect it to hand over to them.

Please spread far and wide. I'd like to get as much community feedback as possible to share with them.

Thank you in advance.

The absolute madlads at PCBWay went full send and gave me the razor thin claws I wanted on this Wolverine SAO 🥰

I put off ordering this design for half a year as I was almost certain they would refuse to manufacture it and I would have to redesign. Turns out: I didn’t!

(Not sponsored, but credit where it’s due. This design is ridiculous and turned out beautiful)

I posted a #VT100 project log on #Hackaday with details about the various layers that go into the 1:3 scale keyboard. I'm using All The Tools here in the shop to print, laser, mill, cast, and solder the stack-up and switch to provide a nice feel when typing. Next I will make a daughter board for the LEDs and try a little haptic trickery to make each keystroke feel more like a mechanical switch throw. Also, I need to make molds for non-1U keycaps.
Busy bee, that's me!
