Last night I started reading The Clockwork Dynasty by Daniel H Wilson and it's really neat. The basic premise seems to be taking the real historical accounts of automata and going "what if they were as alive as these historical figures describe them to be?" And then weaving together an alternate history that fits into our own real world history

I picked it up from the #library when aimlessly wandering the #scifi section after stopping in to print a document and the #clockwork themed font on the spine caught my eye

[New Note] - I received my #clockwork #uconsole 2 weeks ago, but because I was sick and then had to travel for work, I haven’t been able to play with it since I got it…




My short term goals:


* Install debian bookworm
* Encrypt only my home directory (I think full encryption might be to harsh for micro sd card)
* Install emacs, syncthing and git so I can write and publish from it
* Install some retro gaming (best rpg games were made for SNES anyway!)


What I don’t know is what am I going to do with the keyboad layout. Normally I’m an azerty user. And even on my Dogma Raise 2 that has qwerty keycaps, I have it setup to azerty as I don’t care and don’t look. But the layout of the uconsole is so special that changing it might mean I’ll struggle a lot to find some special keys… So I’m still perplex at this stage about that.

LIKE #CLOCKWORK. #Trump was always going to do this attack.

@levparnas said its was his reality show and the two weeks was a ploy. Turned out to be true.

If Trump thinks this is one and done he is fooling himself.

This #war has only just begun.

If you got a #clockwork #PicoCalc be very careful with positioning the display ugh

Eighth part of the ten-month Gift Box build

Assembly and dry fit, and first test of all the mechanisms together. Absolutely hair-raising not knowing if it would work or not

Second part of the ten-month Gift Box build

Solved the most complicated engineering part of the build here with the two clutched gears driving the sector gear

Clockwork PicoCalc is a retro handheld powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico

The PicoCalc is a new handheld with a retro design. At first glance it looks more like a graphing calculator than a modern handheld device. But it sports a QWERTY keyboard, a 4 inch display, and a mainboard designed to accommodate a Raspberry Pi Pico.

Available for $75 from the Clockwork Pi store, it’s also the latest in a line of retro-inspired, modular, and open source products from the […]
