Happy Arduino and Genuino Day
Interesting that it’s changed now from just Arduino day. I wonder how long before it becomes just Genuino day? I guess it will happen eventually.
So today is a day when people do strange things with small microcomputers. That’s excellent. I might even find some time myself to do something. I had planned to go to an event, but it ended up not being possible sadly, so I will have to satisfy myself with some home tinkering I expect.

“Mr. Rockford? This is the Thomas Crown School of Dance and Contemporary Etiquette. We aren’t going to call again. Now, you want these free lessons, or what?”

“Jim, it’s Jack. I’m at the airport. I’m going to Tokyo and I want to pay you the $500 I owe you. Catch you next year when I get back.”
The Beach at Lyme Regis over Easter Weekend
I was really pleased with this photo. It was a cold and windy day and just after a big storm, but even so it was a nice walk on the beach.
Thanks Netflix, for being completely rubbish
I have been slowly watching every episode of every iteration of Stargate that there is. I’ve watched Stargate SG1, Stargate Universe, and I had almost completed all of Stargate Atlantis when Netflix dropped it. I was 4 episodes away from having watched the whole thing, every series of every version, and now I can’t!
Well thanks a bunch Netflix! No warnings, no news, nothing at all. That is nothing short of poor service. Other streaming TV services put dates on stuff so you know when it’s disappearing. Some even have categories for ‘leaving soon’ so you can be aware of it. Netflix? Nope, that’s not how they do things. They prefer to keep you in the dark and then annoy you for no reason whatsoever. How rubbish is that?
So I have to seriously consider whether they’re any good anymore. Whether I should keep this service. Their range and choice is seriously diminished these days anyway, so maybe it’s time to say goodbye. They obviously don’t care about customers either do they?
It’s a shame, a real shame, and it could be avoided so easily.
So my KDJ-ONE won’t come until June
I’ve backed quite a few things on Kickstarter over the last few years, and on occasion things are late. I think that’s inevitable really. But the KDJ-ONE is really late, really really late. They’re now saying that it’ll come in June this year. It’s been a long wait. I hope it’ll be worth the wait in the end.
