In response to this postSince #projects is also legit for non-tech meddles, here are some of my hobby shots from long exposure solar cameras.
The first two are #SolarCan (back garden and #Baltic #Newcastle, up to 6 months. The third is the can itself from that second shot. The last one is a #SolarCanPuck 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.

Oh my! That was an amazing @FieldFX #ByteJam this evening!
Some excellent visuals, but biggest hat-tip to a brilliant cinematic electrosynth set from @samaaron, which you should *definitely* check out (https://www.scenesat.com/videoarchive/2ad71dbc-d207-11ef-be28-00505685775e#show-2ad71dbc-d207-11ef-be28-00505685775e)
Pretty happy with where I got to. It's the audio FFT, mapped onto a 3D-projected snakey thing, with a periodic parameter shuffle. Even got a palette-map poke in there.

In response to this postOne of my ongoing #projects is maintaining https://www.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 #projects hashtag (@simon) is a great idea, so I'll be throwing a few of mine in 🙂
This is a #Pimoroni #Badger2040.
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?
