The right button on my mouse had stopped working (yesterday afternoon)

So this morning I opened the mouse, cleaned the dead bodies around the wheel, cleaned everything else a bit, tried the button on the PCB, it worked, closed the mouse again, it did not work

I opened the mouse again, asked @Diego Roversi to look at it, he did, he tried the button on the PCB, it did not work, he looked at it with a bit more intent¹, tried it again, it worked, I closed the mouse and it's now working.

Now, I'm happy about the mouse working again, but.

Il bottone destro del mio mouse aveva smesso di funzionare (ieri pomeriggio)

Quindi stamattina ho aperto il mouse, pulito i cadaveri attorno alla rotella, pulito un po' il resto, provato il bottone sul PCB, funzionava, chiuso il mouse, non funzionava più.

Ho aperto di nuovo il mouse, chiesto a @Diego Roversi di dargli un'occhiata, ha provato il bottone sul PCB, non funzionava, l'ha guardato con più intento¹, provato ancora, funzionava, ho chiuso il mouse e adesso funziona.

Ora, mi fa piacere che il mouse funzioni ancora, ma.

I've started a new #sewing project and it's sewn by machine!

which means that I've spent the afternoon handsewing buttonholes, because of course buttonholes are sewn by hand :D

it's my take on the corset cover from archive.org/details/americansy… , for which I've seen other blog posts that gave completely different results, so I wanted to make another one for myself to post my method.

Ho iniziato un nuovo progetto di #cucito, ed è cucito a macchina!

E quindi ho passato il pomeriggio a cucire occhielli a mano, perché ovviamente gli occhielli si fanno a mano :D

È la mia versione del copricorsetto di archive.org/details/americansy… per cui ho visto dei post su blog che davano dei risultati totalmente diversi, quindi volevo farmene un'altro per pubblicare il mio metodo.

Cockades!

six cockades in black, grey, white, purple, in different sizes and with different centrepieces. One is only black and white and has a penguin pin in the middle.

Earlier this year, I made myself a new hat (it will be blogged), and I wanted to put a nice cockade on it. So, I looked for suitable ribbons, and couldn’t find any. I found some ribbon that looked passable, but the colours I wanted weren’t available, so I set up the website to notify me, and kept working on the hat.

Eventually the hat was done, the ribbon was still not available, so I decorated the hat with fake flowers from my stash, and started wearing it.

And that’s when I got notified that the ribbon was back in stock.

By the time the ribbon arrived, I had decided that the hat looked better with the flowers, and project cockade was put on hold, possibly for a future hat.

And then June came, and what could be a better time than that for a project based on flag colours?

As I feared, the ribbon I got wasn’t the best: it was a bit too stiff and plasticy, and not really usable for many other things. It did however work well enough for a cockade, and I decided it was a good chance to try different methods and designs, and then make another one to take pictures and publish step-by-step instructions.

And that’s the perfect recipe to find oneself surrounded by a somewhat unreasonable number of very similar cockades, I guess.

A big cockade with four ribbons, starting with purple on the outside, and a black bead in the middle covering the centre of the black ribbon. The pleating isn't the most regular, and the black ribbon at the centre is almost more gathered than pleated.

I looked around for instructions, and the ones that gave a result that was closer to my mental idea of a cockade were the ones by American Duchess, so on my first attempt I tried to follow those.

I didn’t have a cork board with a hole, so it was a bit fiddly, and the result was passable, but could have been better. Meanwhile I saw a forum post commenting on the above tutorialand that gave me ideas for a procedure more suitable to the tools I had.

A cockade with tree ribbons, starting with purple on the outside, then white, grey, and a black bead in the middle that is a bit bigger than the one on the previous one. The pleating isn't perfect, but neater than the previous one.

The second cockade I made was indeed more satisfactory, and I also started to experiment with making a center piece with ribbons, to cut down on the types of materials needed.

On this one I also tried to add a pin backing, so that I could write instructions on how to do it in what I believe is a more stable way than simply adding it to the felt backing at the end.

I’m not sure whether the other ones will be tacked to a hat, and thus won’t require pins at all, or if I’ll just put them on some dress with pins hidden under the ribbon layers.

A cockade with three ribbons, starting with black on the outside, then grey and white, and a flat pentagonal knot of purple ribbon at the centre.

And then I was ready to make a third cockade, taking step by step pictures for my website, and I planned to start on it the next morning.

Trenord had different ideas.

Thanks to the combination of independent but complete disruptions ontwo nearby train lines, I spent the morning driving a couple of people to the nearest station that was still being served by trains, and then back home less than 10 minutes before I had to start working, which if you ask1 me was pretty homophobic of the train company.

There was way less traffic than I expected, and I did enjoy the drive2, but for various reasons it meant a significant delay for this post.

Anyway, less than a week later than I had planned, halfway in June I managed to publish step by step instructions on my website, but I wasn’t done with the project yet.

Beside the fact that I still needed to finish sewing the backing felt to the cockades I had done, I also had a few ideas for more centrepieces made of ribbon I wanted to try.

And this means that I moved on to another project that was already in progress (this one will also be blogged).

A cockade with three ribbons, starting with black on the outside, then grey and white, and two squares of purple ribbon at the centre, forming a sort of eight point star. The ribbons are box pleated and this gives the cockade a bit more of a tree-dimensional shape.

After I’ve finished that one, at the very end of June I quickly made the last two centrepieces, taking pictures for the instructions, and in the next few days I also finished the cockades.

A cockade with three ribbons, starting with purple on the outside, then white and grey, and an hexagonal shape made of black ribbon at the centre. The ribbons are again box pleated.

This time, instead of plain pleats I tried to use box pleats, and I quite like the look they give, so if in the future I’ll have a need for more cockades I may use again this pleating pattern.

A cockade with just two gathered ribbons, starting with black on the outside, then white, and a linux.it pin in the middle with a black background and two eyes and an orange beak reminding of a penguin.

For the last cockade I wanted to try two things: putting a pin in the middle as a centrepiece, and gathering the ribbons.

For the pin, I found that the only one I had that had a colour scheme compatible with the ribbons I had was one with the penguin from linux.it, which had a black background, so I put black ribbon on the outside and white next to it for contrast.

And gathering was done with a whipped gather with ribbons that were one and a half times the outer circumference of their slot, and looks decent enough, but I think I prefer the look of pleated cockades a lot. Maybe it would look better with a softer ribbon.

Anyway, I think this is plenty of cockades for the time being, unless I get tempted by buying more colours of ribbon to make different ones. But I’m not making an online purchase just for those. I am not.

Today I've been *very* good and instead of cutting myself a new shirt I've picked up the twine braids I did maybe two years ago and started sewing the soles for a new pair of slippers, so that when the current ones self destructs I won't have to make new ones in a hurry.

The first part of the sewing has been done on one sole, now I'd really want to do something easier in the evening, but if I keep working on the second sole I can bring it down to the point where it's more contained, without a long tail to manage.

But I'd really want to do be sewing something else!

Oggi sono stata *davvero* brava e invece di tagliarmi una nuova camicia ho tirato fuori le trecce di spago che avevo preparato forse due anni fa, e iniziato a cucire le suole per un paio di pantofole nuove, così quando quelle attuali vanno a pezzi non devo farmene un paio nuovo in fretta e furia.

Su una delle suole ho finito la prima parte delle cuciture, e stasera vorrei tanto cucire qualcosa di più semplice, ma se continuo a lavorare sulla seconda suola riesco a portarla ad un punto in cui è più compatta, senza una coda lunga da gestire.

Ma vorrei davvero cucire qualcos'altro!

@Lysander il Breve @Marcos Dione it also helps me learn Italian. which is my L1, except for sewing topics :D

mi aiuta anche ad imparare l'italiano. che è la mia madrelingua, tranne che per gli argomenti di cucito :D

(also, I don't trust automatic translations not to screw up the historical sewing details, and even less so if they had to translate between Italian and another language rather than going through English)

(e tra l'altro non mi fido che le traduzioni automatiche non faccian casino sui dettagli di cucito storico, e a maggior ragione se dovessero tradurre tra l'italiano ed un altra lingua anziché passare dall'inglese)

in reply to Marcos Dione

@Marcos Dione @Lysander il Breve I learned the basics of sewing in Italian, but especially for the historical bits (and other somewhat advanced techniques) finding materials in English is way, way, way easier, and I've learned most of it in that language.

Computer stuff in Italian uses a lot of English loans anyway, so it's the same situation for me, but less of an issue. :D

in reply to rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua

@rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua ho un paio di pantofole basse di feltro, credo che con le nostre temperature siano più che sufficienti :D

A Pair of Hair Towel Wraps

Two trapezoid shaped hoods made out of off-white towels: one is still looking new, while the other one has been bleached and roughened by having been washed many times.

Many months ago I had been ordering some furniture from IKEA1 and on one of those orders I got tempted by a hair towel wrap: it mostly worked as an idea, but it was too short for my hair.

On the other hand, I had two old towels I wasn’t using, and a recently unpacked sewing machine.

A towel cut in two trapezoid halves with a STJÄRNBUSKE laid on top of it: the IKEA wrap is a bit less than 10 cm less deep, and at least 30 cm shorter, and is also triangular rather than a trapezoid.

I didn’t plan too much, I just put the STJÄRNBUSKE over the towel, cut, realized that the two pieces didn’t fit with right sides together, cut the second towel (I had planned to make two wraps, anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal), and started sewing by machine in what seemed like a reasonable procedure, taking notes and pictures.

A towel, with its original care label, that has been cut in a trapezoid shape and reassembled into a hood shape with a long triangular tail. The machine sewn finishing is still neat and pristine.

The result was pretty good, and I started using it every time I washed my hair, but then I started to entertain the idea of shooting myself sewing the second one by hand for a video, but never found the time to actually doing it, and the pieces remained in the Pile for months, and months, and way more than a year.

The head of a woman with a turban-like thing on the head, covering all of the hair except for a tiny bit at the center front.

Until one day I bought a meter of cotton cheesecloth (mostly because it was almost cheaper than buying a sample) and it felt like a good material to make a nicely looking head wrapper, to keep my hair out of the way when needed.

A woman in a bathrobe with her head tilted downwards, covered by a towel thing that lies on the back of the head and has a long tail hanging on the front, in the process of being wrapped around the hairs and then brought over the top and back.

A couple months later, it was finally time to bring this project to the top of the list, and even if I was sewing two by hand it went pretty quickly: we had a weekend when it was too hot to do anything else, and by the end of it the wraps were done.

All that remained was finish writing the instructions for my FreeSoftWear patterns website <https://sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/contemporary_unisex/headwear/hair_towel_wrap/index.html>>, and having some pictures taken, and this project was done.

And now, on to documenting a few more things I’ve done lately, and to start working on the other projects I have added to the queue in the meantime.

Some time ago my mother bought (online) some pairs of white cotton shorts with whitework at the hems, she tried them on, they fit, she used them a couple of times, washed them, and they no longer fit.

so, she gave them to me, and they fit me, as in “i can put them on, but I'd need to take in the waist”, but as long as I'm unpicking them to make them narrower I might as well unpick the crotch seam and turn them into proper split drawers that I can wear both as shorts under skirts to prevent chafing and as underwear under properly victorian dress with a corset and everything.

the funny thing? they have #pockets (and decently sized pockets, too!)

so, yeah, my underwear is going to have pocketses :D and I didn't even have to make them from scratch :D

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

Un po' di tempo fa mia madre ha comprato (online) dei pantaloncini corti bianchi con l'orlo ricamato, li ha provati, andavano bene, li ha usati un paio di volte, lavati, e non le vanno più bene.

quindi me li ha passati, li ho provati e mi vanno bene, per valori di bene “li posso indossare, ma devo stringere la vita o cadono”, ma già che sto scucendo per stringerli posso scucire anche il cavallo e fare dei mutandoni apertti per bene che posso indossare sia come panmtaloncini sotto le gonne per proteggere le cosce che come biancheria sotto i vestiti vittoriani completi di corsetto e tutto quanto.

la cosa divertente? hanno le #tasche (e anche di misura dignitosa!)

e quindi la mia biancheria avrà le tasche :D e non ho neanche dovuto cucirmela da zero :D

Today it was too hot to do, well, anything, really, so we decided to take a day off and rest.

Which means that I've spent the whole day #handsewing.

Which, one could assume, means that I've finished the vampire shirt? of course not, I still have to attach two pairs of finishing patches to the sleeve slits, of course.

But I've worked quite a bit on a new-ish project, so that's good, right?

And to be fair, I had cut the fabric for that project close to two years ago, so it didn't completely count as a *new* project either.

(It's a towel hair wrap, and a second one in a lighter fabric to use as general head wear)

@Alessandro c'è un contatore in uscita, ma mi risulta che conti solo l'energia che viene venduta alla rete, e un contatore in entrata che dovrebbe contare l'energia comprata dalla rete

ma quella che viene usata per caricare le batterie e/o usata direttamente sul posto non dovrebbe passare dai due contatori, ma solo dallo scatolo dell'inverter, e quello che passa di lì dovremmo vederla solo noi e il governo cinese¹

credo che passasse tutto dai due contatori negli impianti dell'epoca del conto energia?

I have to admit it was definitely a form of patriarchal oppression *and* because of capitalism.

When we were starting the game I was putting my token on the female marker, and then decided “no, in honor of Pride month let's start as a male” and everybody else did the same, starting as female, and I won as the only male in the game.

*And* I finished the game with a class of Tycoon, not because I'd chosen it willingly, but because that's the only class card I got.

And I also won one level early in the game by tattling to the police.

I'm not proud of this game.

But I won, and that's the important thing in #munchkin, right? :D

Devo ammettere che è stata oppressione del patriarcato *e* colpa del capitalismo.

All'inizio della partita stavo per mettere il segnalino su “donna”, ma ho detto “mannò, in onore del Pride inizio come uomo”, e gli altri mi hanno imitata (imitato?) iniziando come donna, e ho vinto essendo l'unico uomo del gioco.

*E* quando ho finito la mia classe era Tycoon, non perché l'avrei scelta liberamente, ma perché è stata l'unica carta classe che ho pescato..

E ho vinto uno dei livelli verso l'inizio della partita andando a fare la spia con la polizia.

Non sono orgogliosa di questa partita.

And a bit of a #sewing update

The three initial cockades have been actually finished, and I still want to make another couple to write instructions for two more centrepiece variants. Technically I could just make the centrepieces, since they are the only pictures I need, but completionist, I guess?

Meanwhile, I've picked back up the victorian vampire shirt, and it's closer to being finished than I remembered. These couple of days I've made all of the buttonholes (just 7) and finished the sleeves, and now the only things missing are attaching the sleeves to the body, and hemming half of the bottom edge (which I'll either do during my next confcall, or at the very end of the project, whichever comes first).

And I've also done some flossing on one (1) boning channel on the corset. That corset that has been worn a few times already.

And I've found at least one new sewing project I want to make (for which I already have almost all materials (I need to check if I have suitable sewing thread).

I was in the living room, putting back the (black) cover on the couch, I thought “I could do with a bit more light”, so I went to the office, opened a shell, run mosquitto_pub with a bit of json, and then back to the living room to see the LED bars turn from cycling rainbow to full white

and then when I finished doing stuff on the couch I went back to the office, and set the LED bars back to cycling rainbow

that's the normal way to deal with smart home stuff, right?

Cosa che tra l'altro risulta essere un comportamento ancora più contro natura di una relazione amorosa omosessuale: da tempo immemore la tradizione era che fossimo noi a recarci da loro ad acquistare carburanti economici.

@Whiskey a gogo @Vespa cartolaia in questi giorni mi è venuta una curiosità (se potete dirlo senza violare NDA o simili): i punti di ritiro dei vari corrieri in generale sono pagati un fisso, oppure c'è (anche) un tot per ogni pacco gestito?

(me lo stavo chiedendo pensando a quanti incentivi hanno le aziende per far scaricare i pacchi al punto ritiro e fregarsene anziché fare il servizio per cui vengono pagati)

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

in realtà no, non c'è un fisso, ma veniamo pagati a cottimo.
Ogni pacco viene risarcito (il prezzo dipende dal corriere e dal servizio) anzi, spesso il fisso c'è, ma è per noi; ovvero dobbiamo pagare un fisso annuale per poter avere il servizio.
Ovviamente ai corrieri conviene perché recapitare quanti più pacchi possibili ai punti di ritiro, per loro è un risparmio di tempo, chilometri e logistica. Quindi posso abbassare i prezzi al pubblico. @rapitadaglialieni

# Anche se oggi il meteo è stato coperto per la maggior parte della giornata abbiamo comunque prodotto più di quanto abbiamo consumato, anche con due lavatrici (un programma leggero per i cuscini del divano, ma comunque), tre lavastoviglie (una sta ancora andando) e una doccia lunga con l'acqua scaldata dal boiler elettrico (resistivo, non pompa di calore). Le batterie sono al 99% e abbiamo ancora un'oretta di produzione.
# Un po' delle cose da cucina che ho portato qui ieri dalla casa vecchia sono lavate e pronte per trovare loro un posto
# la cena di domani è quasi pronta (e anche quella è elettricità che è stata usata oggi e non servirà usare domani)

Il Corriere delle Sera pensa che la canzone che gli inglesi hanno portato a EuroVision sia a favore della Brexit.

Un estratto del testo della canzone:


Countin' in English doesn't cut the mustard
So sick of munching roly-poly with custard
I'm so bored with it, bored with it
Oh, what's the point of it, point of it? (Oh, ja, ja, ja)
I've always been a fan of aviation
I'm jumpin' on a plane to another nation
And all my pounds, they feel counterfeit
I need some euros to counter it


Cioè uno che canta che vuole lasciare l'Inghilterra e trasferirsi in Europa e convertire le sterline in euro, sarebbe a favore della Brexit. Complimenti al giornalista.
