Was Giordano Bruno Really a “Martyr for Science”?
There are two main historical figures that are often cited as supposed “martyrs for science.” The first is the Neoplatonic philosopher and mathematician Hypatia of Alexandria, who was murdered in March 415 AD by a mob of Christians who supported Cyri…Spencer McDaniel (Tales of Times Forgotten)
Un modello eliocentrico con orbite circolari è comunque un'approssimazione abbastanza grezza del sistema solare, in cui invece le orbite sono ellittiche.
A quanto ne so, il sistema geocentrico con epicicli era già arrivato ad un livello di raffinatezza tale per cui *per i calcoli* poteva fornire risultati più precisi rispetto a quelli ottenuti con un modello eliocentrico a orbite circolari, il che è probabilmente uno dei motivi per cui il sistema geocentrico è sopravvissuto nel tempo.

In other #screenPrint news, today I tried the drawing fluid + screen filler from the kit I've bought, and made this
(pictures of a printing screen, with the word “serigrafia” (italian for screen printing) first in green drawing fluid and then as a stencil surrounded by red screen filler, written using the Stay Puft font.)
yeah, it worked, I'm not sure I'll use this technique a lot, since I'm not painting things free hand, anyway, so I can just use the UV sensitive thing anyway.
However, to make things a bit more interesting, I tried to print using two colours in a gradient:
(pictures of 8 strips of paper with the word “serigrafia” first in two stripes, magenta and black, then in a magenta -> black very irregular gradient and in the last few strips it's mostly black with bits of magenta).
The strips of paper will be glued to a cardboard box where I'm keeping my screen printing supplies (that's why I did them in the first place, beside the experimenting bits)

My third attempt to #screenPrint a qr-code was a success! (nothing like correctly inverting the image to allow a phone to recognise the code :D )
(picture of two scraps of fabric, one black, the other one blue, with QR-codes and “get the source” screenprinted in white)
I'm going to keep this screen, because I expect to use it multiple times in the future, to print it on garments and accessories, and/or to make small patches to sew on them, as applicable.
I've also found a good way to keep the screen stable when exposing it to the free UV lamp in the sky :D
(picture of a small cutting board (not really visible) covered in black felt, with a screen, a sheet of tracing paper with a printed design and a sheet of syntetic glass on top, everything kept together with binder clips).

A few updates on #screenPrint progress.
I've tried making a screen with the photoemulsion: even printing the design on tracing paper instead of transparent and using the sun for exposure (instead of a lamp) it worked nicely and printed sharp and precise.
except, I missed the fact that inkscape had not actually inverted all of the design, and thus the QRcode I tried to print was unreadable :(
(picture of a screen for screen printing with green, cured, photoemulsion)
(picture of something that resemble, but isn't, a pair of QRcodes)
At least, I know what went wrong and I can fix it on the next attempt.
I've also found that the kit I've bought doesn't have enough screen cleaning fluid for the number of screens I can do with the available photoemulsion, so I'm waiting a bit until I can get some screens I don't have to reuse (for a few designs that I plan to print multiple times) and more screen cleaning fluid.

I've also received some wood frames and tried to make another screen with curtain fabric and white glue: this was a success.
(picture of a wooden frame with fabric nailed on it and a right to repair logo painted in glue)
(picture of some black jeans fabric with the right to repair logo printed in white in a fuzzy and irregular way)
I've washed the screen from the back and I can confirm that the glue part survived: I think I will check it for holes and retouch it a bit the next time I'll use it, but it shouldn't need a lot.

And then there was this, which isn't experimental or anything.

The way hollywood depicts pre-modern battles follows a perfectly legitimate literary tradition, already seen in the Iliad, of showing two armies getting ready for battle, not having a frigging clue on how war worked centuries earlier and going on with depicting duels between named (and in the case of hollywood unhelmeted) heroes strictly based on the Rules of Cool.
On the other hand, as far as we know Homer didn't have wikipedia.

TIL: The Mondeluz #watercolours from Koh-I-Noor seem to be the same watercolours as the White Night from St. Petersburg ones.
At least, the one random pan I bought (raw umber) has the same number and pigments as the corresponding White Night, it is made “in cooperation with” the producer of the White Night and it has their logo at the bottom of the pan.
I've never tried the White Night ones for a comparison, however.
And it is a full pan, something I couldn't find on the web site before buying.

Today I drove my mother and a neighbor to a fabric shop.
And I bought the bit of cotton canvas suitable to make a couple of bags / backpacks to be screenprinted, exactly as I had planned to do.
And I absolutely have not bought a full dress and a couple of waists. Not even if the goods were really good quality at an exceedingly affordable price.
I did resist buying broadcloth for the skirt that will go with those waists, because black broadcloth is something I'm always going to find, and first I need to make the whole set of underthings for it.

The pad is A3 size, but it is kept together with rings and there is a line of microperforations to remove a sheet from the pad outside the ring area.
And this means that after being cut, each sheet is slightely shorter than A3, and can't be cut in e.g. 8 A6 sheets.

TFW you write something with visudo so that you know that it will work, then you copy it in ansible, run the ansible playbook, and it breaks.
And then you open the file that ansible has written with visudo, save it with no changes, and it works.
And you spend hours trying to understand what happened.
And then it was a missing newline at the end of the file.

Experimental #screenPrint, day I've lost count :D
Art print on quality paper in a suitable mediu… no, really, more like in-joke from an IRC channel, printed on red MÅLA paper in negative with a grainy white area of paint all around it.
Anybody wants the original? only one copy, it's going to sell for a lot of money when I'll become famous :D

For the experimental bit: I've forgot to take a picture of the screen, it's the same one made with curtain fabric from social.gl-como.it/display/3e3c… , painted with PVA glue and a bit of craft acrylic paint.
While washing the screen, I've tried at first to scrub it from the back, and I believe that the paint was going away while keeping the glue in place to reuse it for another edition. I would have to test whether that's true, however. Then I've moved on to scrubbing from the front, and that easily removed the glue, so that the fabric can be used for different prints.
Today's #screenPrint results were… let's just say it's important to talk about them to prevent publication bias :D
I've spent yesterday evening painstakingly painting a QR-code on curtain fabric with PVA glye (and a bit of acrylic paint added to know what I was doing).
and then today I tried to use it, but it's definitely not clear enough to work
with the white bit way too grainy for any phone / computer to recognize the pattern.
On the plus side, the paint I'm using (marabu textil print) washes easily (with some rubbing) when it's still fresh, so I haven't wasted the scrap of fabric I was using. It may be a sign that it's not going to be as resistant to future washing (after heat setting) as other fabric paint I've used, which is less good, but while doing random experiments it's fine.
Also, while washing the screen the glue went away, which it didn't on the homesewing screen: I'm not sure whether it's the acrylic paint, the fact that it was relatively fresher (less than 24 hours) or the fact that when I washed it I scrubbed it as if I didn't care whether the glue survived or not, while I was more careful with the homesewing screen.

I knew that there was this risk, and that the right way to print a qr-code is to get some proper screen fabric etc., so I'm not too sad about the result.
But I had to try, and it had to be with a qr-code (I could have started with a smaller one, however :D )
And I know that the right way to print things like these is to buy proper screen fabric etc., but I'm not going to do that for some time yet (right? :D )
Tonight I dreamt I was in the town centre with a friend; in a shop we saw an expensive bracelet made of a strip of fake leather with a button and an ugly print, and she asked me if I could #screenPrint something else over it. Of course I could.
And by that, what she actually meant was to make a similar bracelet in snappap (latex paper), with a screen printed design for a fraction of the cost.
And then I woke up. and I may accidentally found a leftover strip of snappap that is just the right width for a bracelet.

Step 1: cutting the bracelet and printing it: done
(picture of a long and thin rectangle of light brown latex paper with rounded corners and a square logo printed in black at about a third of the lenght)
Step 2: patiently wait until it's completely dry (probably overnight) before ironing
are we there yet? and yet? and yet? and…
Now something to make it round.

#screenPrint! All! The! Things!, weekend 2
The attempt at a two-colours print, using a stencil cut in plastic rather than paper (to make it reusable) will have to wait until tomorrow, when I'll do the second colour.
Today there was also another thing, however:
This is a screen made with old curtain fabric painted with white (PVA) glue and a round embroidery hook, and…
it worked!
It isn't the neatest print, it's grainy and there are a few spots outside of the image where the glue didn't fill all of the fabric holes, so I'm not going to stop using the real screen any time soon, but it is A Look, and it's a look that I like, for some specific things.
And this “home sewing is killing fashion” graphic with a sewing machine with teeth and crossed bones that I've found ages ago on the internet(TM) is exactly the kind of things for which this look is fitting. I had to cut the rest of the text, however (it was “and it's -il-legal”, with the il crossed) because it was too small for the resolution of the screen.
