Still waiting for the charger, so the Astron will have to do. Power outage may happen before charger arrives, so want this charged up.


@ai6yr I used an old lead acid battery and a cheap low-current battery charger for a power supply for my radio in college.

@ai6yr i am dying to know if i can buy one of those 240v bluetti systems, and plug it into the outside of my house in place of 'the grid', and dump that battery into my powerwalls. i wonder if i can charge the bluetti with my 120v generator, then dump that juice into the powerwalls, since they only work on 240

Charging voltage on LiFePO4 is is 14.6V, float is 13.5V... this Astron not set that high--13.8V--, so... mileage here may vary, may not charge up much.

Since is also legit for non-tech meddles, here are some of my hobby shots from long exposure solar cameras.
The first two are (back garden and , up to 6 months. The third is the can itself from that second shot. The last one is a from a wedding venue in West Newcastle over one day.
You place a can firmly, the sun draws an arc each day through the pinhole onto photo paper. You cut it open, scan, and recalibrate/colour it.
Magical ♥️

One of my ongoing is maintaining techdiary.co.uk/
It's an aggregator for local meetup listings - tech, startup, design etc. events across North East England, and has been running since 2010 with almost 3,000 curated listings across about 3 major code rebuilds.
There's a full admin panel, user login, and a decent (unused) API.
Some features, such as weekly digest emails and Twitter postings have gone offline due to code integration rot. Some day I'll get those booted back up!

The hashtag (@simon) is a great idea, so I'll be throwing a few of mine in 🙂
This is a .
Folks tend to use them with the default code as nerdy conference badges, but I coaxed mine into holding the schedule for Thinking Digital this year.
Let me know if you're interested in the code, and I can clean it up and release it. I reckon the most useful is the bit that wraps text to a box?
