Current project - the "CRT-Boy" - is progressing. Current state promising however there are still problems with the sound and the crt timings. I thought it could be a short project but it looks like there is enough work for a small series. 

Tip: You might want to check ebay for old intercoms like that if you want to rebuilt it before the whole world knows:

I snatched another one of these for 5€ this week.

I try to keep the weekly schedule and release the first episode tomorrow before the stream.
Hope you all are able to join the live stream tomorrow! I bought some beer, no agenda just a bit Q&A and chat with you guys.  

I'll announce tomorrow, but I want you guys to know first: The lab is moving.
Backstory is I was looking for a house to rent with Toni for 10 months already since shes living in another city. We finally found something affordable. It's really remote but the Internet is acceptable. I hope the 50/10 Mbit will be enough to do hd streams in future. The best thing about it is The lab space will threefold and the main rooms will be heated! The total space will be around 60m² (Two rooms in the basement and the garage).
Another great thing is that it's a super quite place. No international airport close by that will force me recording at nights.
I will have the complete December to move so I'll spread it to no affect my release schedule. I'm so happy to get more room. Trouble to place the camera for a good picture will be fixed and I'll have more dedicated areas for different production stages.

See you tomorrow!

Congratulations on the new apartment! Me and my girlfriend also moved to a bigger flat juat two weeks ago. I finally got a dedicates room for my computer and all the electronics gear! But if you've got a lot of stuff collected during the last years, don't make the mistake we did and underestimate the effort it takes to pack everything. We also had a full month to move as nice 3 room apartments are very difficult to find near the Helsinki center were we still wanted to live to keep the commute to work short. So we had to rent the new one on a very short notice, having to pay the rent for both apartments at the same time. We thought there cannot be that much stuff in my old 38m2 flat where we lived together for two years, and estimated we can pack everything over the second last weekend. Bad thinking! We ended up getting only few hours sleep during the whole weekend (moving company arrival was scheduled for Sunday morning). I ended up hurting my back bad enough it's still uncomfortable to lift anything not to mention being so tired the next week I could barely work even remote. Last weekend there was still two days worth of misc stuff to pick up and to cleanup the old place. The actual move ended up taking 4 hours for 3 professional moving men with a huge truck for only 500m distance from the old flat, costing twice what I had estimated. We're both busy people at work so there's still maybe fifth of the stuff unpacked. Hopefully yours will be be easier and less stressful. It's been 6 years since my last move, and I feel I don't wanna do it again for ar least a few years even though the new rent is quite a lot and we planned it to be semi temporary. Good luck with the move!

Hi, Congratulations on your new place and good luck with the move! The CRT-Boy project is very exciting. Can I ask what code you will be using? Is the original Tetris Space X (black and white) code or the Dawn of AV (colour) code? I am interested in getting things running on small LDC AV screens and I could never get Tetris Space X working with these but Dawn of AV (and space shooter) worked perfectly. Thanks for the great work. Anthony.

Sounds bad! I plan to throw much crap away that I had to move the last time from the basement. My last move was 4 years ago and the got more and more especially the lab equipment. but there is a lot of furniture and a kitchen that I won't take with me this time. My last more was horrible, too, since after my ex and me broke up and cancelled out contract for the flat before we had something new. I ended up 1 month "homeless" living at my parents new gf. I had to put the 70m² flat in small storage for a month. So I actually moved twice and rented a 7,5t truck each time (and it was fully stuffed). thankfully I have the drivers licences for the big things. That was while I was writing on my masters thesis lol

I told myself I rather pay twice and sort out stuff than doing that once again. I will move the lab first and all the small things using my car. it's actually a two hour ride from here. Then I'll just prepare all the big furniture to move with some friends at mit dec probably

toni, will stay until january in her flat and I will help her to move then

bitluni

yes, it was tetris spaceX. There seem to be small issues with the timing. But there are more differences since this is this is only b/w I'll be refactoring the code into a single arduino library. That might take a while though
