/297 - Axoloti, A Tragedy in Four Acts

Oh tiniest resistor, a jumper, to be de and re-soldered. You give them each their name.

You wake, yet there is a duplicity — the connection is not properly made. One wonders why.

Oh tremulous heart, here you both stand properly before me!

Oh cursed fates, a crack is heard as you settle into place. One twin shall speak no more.

/290 - The Good and The Bad/Ugly

L: The platform feeder Emi and I are building is turning out great. It’s currently hanging to dry the last coat of finish and should be ready to mount on the pole and put up tomorrow. Probably time to start researching DIY squirrel baffles.

R: Took Axoloti apart this morning to try reflowing the connections on the weak oled screen. There was no improvement so I decided to change it out and managed to drop a bead of hot solder on the good screen. It still works, but there’s a divot in the glass and a distortion in the display. Once again I am reminded to SLOW DOWN. Sigh.
