Today I have been wondering whether there are mechanical pencils (for 2 mm leads) in the shape of a carpenter pencil, and apparently if they exist they aren't easy to find online.
And now I wonder how hard it would be to take something cheap like eshop.koh-i-noor.eu/_c62812608… , take the mechanism out (that's the easy part, I've just checked on mine and it's easy), and then either 3d-print or machine a carpenter pencil-shaped case for it.
(Not that I'd *need* it. I probably would have no use for it. But it would be cool if somebody did it :D )
Oggi mi son chiesta se esistano dei portamine (per le mine da 2 mm) a forma di matita da muratore / falegname, e a quanto pare se anche esistono non si trovano facilmente online.
E adesso mi sto chiedendo quanto complicato sia prendere qualcosa di economico tipo eshop.koh-i-noor.eu/_c62812608… , tirar fuori il meccanismo (questa è la parte facile, ci ho appena provato con la mia ed è banale) e poi stampare 3d o lavorare nel metallo un nuovo corpo di forma piatta.
(Non che mi serva. Non me ne farei niente. Ma sarebbe bello se qualcuno lo facesse :D )

TIL: overpass-turbo
Metti che una mattina ti viene il bisogno di avere l'elenco dei capoluoghi di provincia e relative posizioni.
E ti viene in mente che queste informazioni su openstreetmap già ci sono. Come fare a estrarle?
Apro il sito overpass-turbo (overpass-turbo.eu/), e vedo che c'è già un esempio che cerca le fontanelle. Ok, sembra semplice, ma se devo fare qualcosa di più complicato?
Guardo in alto e vedo nel menu "Wizard". Permette di generare query complicate partendo da descrizioni semplici in inglese. Con tanto di esempi di ricerche più complicate. Un veloce giro sulla wiki di openstreetmap per vedere i campi giusti per la query, guardo gli attributi di qualche città a caso per vedere qualche esempio e arrivo a questa:
(place=city or place=town) and (capital=2 or capital=4 or capital=6) in italy
e la query generata è:
[out:json][timeout:25];
// fetch area “italy” to search in
{{geocodeArea:italy}}->.searchArea;
// gather results
(
nwr["place"="city"]["capital"="2"](area.searchArea);
nwr["place"="city"]["capital"="4"](area.searchArea);
nwr["place"="city"]["capital"="6"](area.searchArea);
nwr["place"="town"]["capital"="2"](area.searchArea);
nwr["place"="town"]["capital"="4"](area.searchArea);
nwr["place"="town"]["capital"="6"](area.searchArea);
);
// print results
out geom;
Che fondamentalmente vuol dire, città con più di 10.000 abitanti e che siano capoluoghi di provincia(6) / regione(4) /stato(2).
A questo punto il tutto può essere salvato in un file json.
Prossimo passo: usare jq per estrarre solo le informazioni che mi servono.

Nel caso qualcuno fosse curioso. Questo è come estrarre nome e coordinate dall'output, usando jq:
cat province.geojson | jq ".features[] | { name: .properties.name , coord: .geometry.coordinates} " >province.json

10 minutes ago the sun had not set yet, so I started to solder the few bits left so that we could finish the project we had been working on in the afternoon (after buying the last bits we needed this morning).
it is now 21:40, and I've finished soldering 10 minutes ago. It's definitely too dark to do any outside work.
I haven't tested anything, and I've already covered everything in heatshrink (it's all cables and pin headers, nothing expensive in case I have to redo everything from scratch).
10 minuti fa il sole non era ancora tramontato, quindi ho iniziato a saldare le ultime cose in modo da poter finire il progetto su cui abbiamo lavorato nel corso del pomeriggio (dopo aver comprato le ultime cose che ci servivano stamattina).
sono le 21:40, ho finito di saldare 10 minuti fa. là fuori fa decisamente troppo buio per lavorare.
Non ho ancora testato niente, e ho già ricoperto tutto di termorestringente (sono solo cavi e pin headers, niente di costoso nel caso in cui debba rifare tutto da capo)

As for the things I soldered yesterday night, half of them aren't in use because the waterproof box we wanted to use is too small :(
We may find another box, or buy one in the next few weeks.
For the time being, we've used some dupont cables to connect the main sensor to the ESP32C3 board, and got an *interesting* behaviour: the board was sending data from the sensor, but it was *always the same value*. Data for the internal battery level sensor was changing at every measurement, as expected.
We opened the stevenson box, changed the sensor with another identical one. same behaviour.
We opened the waterproof box to bring the board inside and do more tests, and found that the dupont cable for the sensor ground was disconnected. But it was still managing to send data, only it was the *wrong* data.
Reconnected the ground, it seems to be working.
Quanto alle cose saldate ieri sera, metà non sono in uso perché la scatoletta stagna che volevamo usare è troppo piccola :(
Forse ne troveremo un'altra, o al massimo ne compreremo una tra qualche settimana.
Per ora abbiamo usato dei cavi dupont per collegare il sensore pricipale alla schedina con ESP32C3, e abbiamo avuto un comportamento *interessante*: la schedina stava inviando i dati presi dal sensore, ma era *sempre lo stesso valore*. I dati del sensore di carica della batteria (interno) cambiavano leggermente ad ogni misura, come atteso.
Abbiamo aperto lo schermo di stevenson, cambiato il sensore con un altro uguale. stesso comportamento.
Abbiamo aperto la scatoletta stagna per portare in casa la schedina e fare ulteriori test, e scoperto che il cavo dupont del ground verso il sensore era scollegato. Ma riusciva comunque a mandare dei dati, solo dati *sbagliati*.
Ricollegato il ground, sembra funzionare.

POLARVIDE modular jacket
Posted on April 28, 2025
Tags: madeof:atoms, craft:sewing
Years ago I made myself a quick dressing gown from a white fleece IKEA throw and often wore it in the morning between waking up and changing into day clothes.
One day I want to make myself a fancy victorian wrapper, to use in its place, but that’s still in the early planning stage, and will require quite some work.
Then last autumn I discovered that the taxes I owed to the local lord (who provides protection from mice and other small animals) included not just a certain amount of kibbles, but also some warm textiles, and the dressing gown (which at this time was definitely no longer pristine) had to go.
For a while I had to do without a dressing gown, but then in the second half of this winter I had some time for a quick machine sewing project. I could not tackle the big victorian thing, but I still had a second POLARVIDE throw from IKEA (this time in a more sensible dark grey) I had bought with sewing intents.
The fabric in a throw isn’t that much, so I needed something pretty efficient, and rather than winging it as I had done the first time I decided I wanted to try the Modular Jacket from A Year of Zero Waste Sewing (which I had bought in the zine instalments: the jacket is in the March issue).
After some measuring and decision taking, I found that I could fit most of the pieces and get a decent length, but I had no room for the collar, and probably not for the belt nor the pockets, but I cut all of the main pieces. I had a possible idea for a contrasting collar, but I decided to start sewing the main pieces and decide later, before committing to cutting the other fabric.
As I was assembling the jacket I decided that as a dressing gown I could do without the collar, and noticed that with the fraying-free plastic fleece I didn’t really need the front facings, so I cut those in half lengthwise, pieced them together, and used them as binding to finish the front end.
Since I didn’t have enough fabric for the belt I also skipped the belt loops, but I have been wearing this with random belts and I don’t feel the need for them anyway. I’ve also been thinking about adding a button just above the bust and use that to keep it closed, but I’m still not 100% sure about it.
Another thing I still need to do is to go through the few scraps of fleece that are left and see if I can piece together a serviceable pocket or two.
Because of the size of the fabric, I ended up having quite long sleeves: I’m happy with them because they mean that I can cover my hands when it’s cold, or fold them back to make a nice cuff.
If I’ll make a real jacket with this patter I’ll have to take this in consideration, and either make the sleeves shorter or finish the seam in a way that looks nice when folded back.
Will I make a real jacket? I’m not sure, it’s not really my style of outer garment, but as a dressing gown it has already been used quite a bit (as in, almost every morning since I’ve made it :) ) and will continue to be used until too worn to be useful, and that’s a good thing.

After just a few years of procrastination, I’ve given a wash ofgit-filter-repo to the repository where I keep my hexagonal sticker designs, removed a few failed experiments and stuff with dubious licensing and was able to finally publish it among my public git repositories
This repo includes the template I’m using, most of the stickers I’ve had printed, some that have been published elsewhere and have been printed by other people, as well as some that have never been printed and I may or may not print in the future.
The licensing details are in the metadata of each file, and mostly depend on the logos or cliparts used. Most, but not all, are under a free culture license.
My server is not setup to correctly serve the SVG files, yet: downloading them (from the “plain” links) should work, but I need to fix the content type that is provided. I will probably procrastinate doing it for quite some time, but eventually it will be done. Of course cloning the repository from the public https URL also works.
BRB, need to add MOAR stickerses.

Però è soltanto nel 1700 che si hanno le monarchie assolute, altrimenti i re o gli imperatori post impero romano, dovevano invocare gli stati generali prima di mettere tasse o fare guerre...
@🧊 freezr 🥶 stavo pensando più alla pessima fama dell'ultimo re di roma, e agli imperatori (che a causa di quella pessima fama si sono sempre assicurati di far sapere a tutti che loro *non erano assolutamente* dei re — ma di fatto avevano riaccentrato tutti i poteri rilevanti), e a quanto un cattivo imperatore riuscisse a causare disastri
poi non so come fosse l'equilibrio dei poteri nell'impero romano d'oriente, durante il medioevo, credo più accentrato rispetto a molti stati dell'europa occidentale
(ah, e ovviamente le monarchie europee attuali, al massimo con una rilevante eccezione, rientrano pienamente nel caso di poteri opportunamente suddivisi)
Gli imperatori Romani erano assoluti, sebbene fare l'imperatore era un rischio perché si moriva piuttosto facilmente e nessuno si scandalizzava per un imperatore assassinato... 😁

Have I finished the cartridge pleated skirt? of course not (it's getting closer, however)
Have I started to cut the lining fabric for the next project? maaaaaybe :D
I need a bodice to go with that skirt, and this morning I had some time when I could cut some fabric and quickly sew a mockup by machine.
I'm not 100% sure about the result, I may need to remove a bit of ease, but the fabric I'm going to use for the bodice was cheap enough¹ that I think I will cut it and I can always take it in later.
¹ a mystery fabric that was listed as something like 100% cotton, but had “lana” (wool) in the name, smells like wet sheep when wet, and looks and feels as if it has a cotton (or other plant fiber) in the weft and wool in the warp.

Ho finito la gonna arricciata? ovviamente no (ci sono quasi però)
Ho iniziato a tagliare la fodera per il prossimo progetto? potrei :D
Con quella gonna ci vuole un corpetto, e stamattina avevo del tempo in cui potevo tagliare della stoffa e cucire al volo a macchina un provino.
Non sono sicura al 100% del risultato, forse dovrò togliere un po' di agio, ma la stoffa che userò era abbastanza economica¹ che credo che alla prossima occasione la taglierò, e al massimo sono sempre in tempo a stringerlo poi.
¹ una stoffa a sorpresa che era venduta come 100% cotone, aveva la parola lana nel nome, odora di pecora bagnata quando è bagnata e da l'impressione di avere l'ordito di cotone (o altre fibre vegetali) e la trama di lana.

three out of four panels of the bodice have been lined, and I could now start assembling them and try it on.
except for the fact that I suspect that a better way to do it would be to finish the lacing eyelets before assembling the bodice. it's probably not that much of a difference, but I'm also writing down instructions, and I want to do things right.
and this means that I have to wait MOAR time to see how the bodice will look like!
Nelle categorie #problemiDiChiCuce e #ProblemiAutoindotti
tre pezzi su quattro del corpetto sono stati foderati, e potrei iniziare a cucirli assieme e provarlo.
se non fosse che sospetto che sia meglio rifinire gli occhielli sui pezzi separati, prima di avere tutto il corpetto assemblato. non credo che sia una differenza enorme, ma sto anche scrivendo delle istruzioni, e quindi preferisco fare le cose fatte bene.
ma questo significa che devo aspettare PIÙ tempo prima di vedere come sta venendo il corpetto!

avevo imbastito (a macchina) la fodera, quindi un'idea che la taglia non sia completamente sbagliata ce l'ho, ma adesso che sono ad un punto in cui si può assemblare solo a mano non mi ero neanche posta il problema di poterlo fare in modo temporaneo :)
però è anche vero che per quanto poco tempo, è tutto tempo non passato facendo disperatamente occhielli :D
@Vi 💙 comunque intanto un lato di occhielli è stato finito
il 90% del progetto è stato indubbiamente raggiunto, adesso di sicuro mi manca meno del 90% del tempo :D
occhielli finiti!
ed ora, tempo di assemblare!
(ok, forse domani più che *ora*)

as if I had the patience to wait
one front sewn to one back, yesterday evening
another one currently on my lap
come se avessi la pazienza di aspettare
un davanti cucito al suo dietro ieri sera
gli altri sono sulle mie gambe in questo momento
and it's done
(other than finding some laces to keep it closed, or making some with a lucet)
and we're going to have two weeks of rain, so I'm not going to be able to take pictures any time soon, uoops
finito!
(devo solo trovare una stringa adatta per allacciarlo, o farne una col lucet)
e sono appena iniziate due settimane di pioggia, quindi non riuscirò a fare foto a breve, uooops

Google announced that end-to-end encryption would be coming to Gmail. What a sweet day! Finally Google does something good. Is it a new protocol toMichał Sapka

seguito dalla pulizia accurata di tutti gli avanzi della salsa allo yogurt con un altro mezzo panino arabo
seguito da “ho ancora mezzo panino arabo, potrei metterci della marmellata di lamponi, no?”
Potrei aver mangiato troppo panino arabo.

ma tutto sommato dopo aver fatto quattro passi (40 minuti :D ) non mi sentivo neanche troppo appesantita :D
