@eryn Of course!

I don't know much about it though.

Are you doing work with LoRa?

@srol Indeed. The description has which attractions they were from.

(Horizons, communicore, spaceship earth, the sea. The communicore logo is shaped like the communicore buildings!)

This is from the same time period in another park.

Simple, elegant line art.

I stopped tinkering with the website and started looking for info on radios and ended up looking at a bunch more Disney crap instead.

One of the things I admire about the era of disney from which I am taking my inspiration is their use of logos.

I want logos like these for organizations within the JG universe.

@Alamantus The only way I was able to get mine was via a research goal that had a ditto as a reward.

Allegedly, it's still in the wild, but I *never* see them.

I guess that should have ended in a question mark!

Alright, I'm done tinkering with websites for a while because I want to think about something else.

I want to think about radio comms in unlicensed spectrum, I think.

What's your favorite unlicensed radio communications technology.

@rick_777 Eventually, I'll be making lots of artifacts and trinkets to support the universe.

Until then, though, I gotta focus on getting this website to feel of a piece with those eventual trinkets.

@remotenemesis @djsundog Best guess: mold making for custom enclosure.

@rick_777 Scifi lots of things, yeah.

Brochures, posters, art, etc.

This is part of the #jupitersGhost project.

@mishari I guess

But I need four capacitors and a bucket of resistors. I don't want hundreds, and I don't want to wait on shipping.

I want electronics supply stores to come back.

But I also want a custom onbaording process for new users in buddypress, and I don't know a sanctioned way to do that, so I'm going to be breaking the buddypress onboarding flow, and figuring out where I can insert my own custom hooks (and then I have to figure out how to safely integrate those in a way that will enable me to stay up to date with the official plugins.)

Like, I want travel posters for alien planets.

I know that, and I know what I want those to look like.

I also know I can't make them right now, and I won't need them for a while, so I can safely leave that by the wayside.

I guess I should explain.

I have a very clear vision for what I want to accomplish with this site, and I have a fairly clear vision of how I will accomplish some of these things.

But I don't have a clear path from where I am now to where I want to be, so I am experimenting.

Eventually, I'll need to figure out visual design, and logos, and colors. and stuff, but right now I'm focusing on the on boarding experience, presentation, and maybe post by email or something.

@devnull
Isn't that what we're working on, here and elsewhere?
@thegibson @electricsand @bamfic @r000t

I have a small electronics project I want to do, and I've been putting it off for months becuase there is no retail establishment within 100 miles that sells basic electronics components, and that's a tragedy.

@thegibson
Or rather, I sought this computer out specifically for the Isa slot.

I stuck an SB16 in that slot.

When I'm not trying to use networking, the SB16 works perfectly.

Adlib sound, game music, mp3s of podcasts played from floppy disks, all great.

But I can't load a network driver becuase the bios can't tell me what interrupt it wants. I didn't miss this part of Isa slots.

@thegibson
It's been fifteen years since I had an ISA slot.

I don't miss ISA slots.

@thegibson
"Is this misconfigured or broken" is my least favorite vintage computer game (especially when working on unfamiliar systems. It might be that I have the wrong driver entirely, and that the card that identifies itself as an ne2000 can't use the fdos ne2000 driver.)

I'm not going to try five right now. Right now I'm going to sleep.

But I think somehow the network card ended up on five and the soundcard ended up on 10?
