Feeling like maybe I only post about Drop-In Time at the library when things go well. Today was an in-between day (and I have pictures).
You remember Tom from a month ago? He's been helping my friend paint his house a few doors down. He saw me outside and shouted down from the roof that his email wasn't working. I said we could work on that, but not now. This is him checking his text from me so that he can be sure I'm in his phone. Totally safe behavior.
Steve has a shaky hand and can neither type the numbers in nor read them to me because he forgot his glasses.
Despite this, he is delightful company and when we finally make his FIRST CELL PHONE CALL EVER (and set up his voicemail, and write down EVERY password) we're both making too much celebratory noise for the library.
Earlier, Pat from last week dropped by with a loaf of cinnamon bread as a thanks for making her Windows laptop faster last week and I send Steve home with some.

Jim Cameron on digital and physical effects: “It’s really the higher question of what are you trying to show, and what are you trying to say? I don’t attach some kind of dogmatic aesthetic around in-camera or practical... It’s really just a means to an end.”
source: youtu.be/v_x3OZlnkwM?si=jt9Hs3…
Being in the industry, I can tell you with 100% confidence that a lot of the "great practical FX" that you've seen in the past 20 years... is actually CG (3D models, anim, sim, rendering, comp, etc). The whole point is that good CG has gotten so good that you'd have no idea f you didn't already know.
But it's cooler for studios and directors to just lie about that and market things as "100% practical", and the lie is easy to get away with because it's indistinguishable.
Can anyone recommend an antenna to plug into ESP32 modules?
I mean the kind pictured, I like to be able to place the antenna outside my enclosure.
The datasheet specifies w.fl, mhf III from ipex, or AMC. I picked amazon.com/dp/B07R21LN5P as a cheap guess since it says u.fl ipex but it won't fit and amazon corrects w.fl to u.fl...
Unfortunately the recommended TFPD08H10060011 is not something I can find to buy.
Asking for part numbers if anyone has done this before.
