I love mesh networks, and love the 1999 WAP standard. After I started thinkering with MeshCore I realised text is fun but what about the internet? WAP 1.x was built to be sent over SMS... this might work. Taking my WAP-over-SMS project and two ESP32s and voila!

In the Spring of 2025, I taught a course about interactive programming environments to a small group of students.

Actinomycete genomes are a rich source of unexplored phosphonate natural products. By mining 940 genome sequenced strains, researchers found 54 candidate producers and confirmed phosphonate production in 21 strains, including Kitasatospora fiedleri with a unique, LuxR regulated gene cluster. This strategy paves the way for new bioactive phosphonates with pharma and biotech potential.

Blech!
Yes, I recall seeing articles about his absence (and some of the others), but if I saw this it may or may not have meant anything to me. Not like I should really get exercised over whether this or that actor was a prima donna, or ambitious, whatever.
Thanks, quite right, that was the last time I really paid attention, around the release of this movie, and then into the talk of the re-birthed movies and series.
I got busy late 80s, bigly! But "what have they done to Spock?" Caught my attention. Cannot recall if/how I reacted other than that. Anyway, I appreciate anything new of old (but authentic) beloved series, be it Star Trek or Twilight Zone (my infancy days?!) or for that matter, Bugs Bunny! I guess I stick with original. 😀
