What software do people use to create Gcode from a .DXF? (preferably something I can run on a Mac or a Pi) I may or may not have a new toy that speaks GRBL. ;p

So after airbrushing Donald Duck on one side of my MTB helmet, I needed Papa Smurf on the other side. At only 45mm high. Would be tricky to spray a cartoon character much smaller xitter.cf/RasPiTV/status/1342932…

A bit of playtime in the workshop. Laser cut masking tape stencils. Quite fiddly at this size (only 45mm high) but managed to airbrush Donald Duck onto my MTB helmet.

25 characters per answer option. Not enough for options like... Give them a Paddington stare, then move away if they get anywhere near you. Turn your face away from them and hold your breath as they go past. Wish you were holding a 2.5m baseball bat.

Here's an airbrush project I've been working on over the last three weeks or so (not all the time). Quite pleased with how it's turned out.

Learn to cherish your workshop 'down-time'. Put some nice music on and tidy up, sweep the floor, organise your tools, sort out the components and actually work ON the workshop. Trust me, it's very therapeutic and it won't be long before you have an idea worthy of some enthusiasm

Crisis of confidence tonight. Can't decide on a project I want to tackle next. Haven't got anything "new" to say. Haven't got anything I want to do that means anything. Just wasted three hours doing nothing, really. Ho hum. :-(

Glad to see some sensible, realistic journalism about our current predicament appearing today. I still don't think a lot of people 'get it' yet (the people in Lidl this morning certainly didn't) bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52308201 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Coronavirus: Significant social distancing needed 'until vaccine found'

Scientists say "significant" measures should stay for some time, with the UK lockdown set to continue.

This looks like an encouraging engineering development. CPAP ventilator newsweek.com/mercedes-f1-eng…

Mercedes F1 Engineers Create Ventilator Alternative for COVID-19 Patients

"These devices will help to save lives by ensuring that ventilators, a limited resource, are used only for the most severely ill," said critical care consultant Professor Mervyn Singer.

"Protect the NHS" is a slogan that not enough people can relate to. The message should be... "Don't kill your granny" "Don't kill your dad" "Don't kill the sick" "Stay away from people" "This virus could kill 500k in the UK" People care about NHS when they need it, not before.

To clarify. I FULLY support the idea of protecting the NHS. I just don't think the slogan is motivating people to -yaknow - STAY THE F*** AWAY FROM EACH OTHER!

It hasn't escaped my notice that @AdamJKucharski tweets are going viral (ooh the irony). But, as an epidemiologist who models pandemics, he knows what he's talking about and people need to hear the message, so well worth a follow.

Early in outbreak, each COVID-19 case infects ~2.5 others on average. There's ~5 days between one infection and next, so we'd expect one case to lead to 2.5^6 = 244 more cases in a month. If we can halve transmission, so each infects 1.25 others instead, we'd expect 4 more cases.

I watched this @FryRsquared documentary recently. Highly recommended, very topical, and I believe some of the data collected are being used to model various UK scenarios. If outside UK, you'd need to use a VPN/proxy to access it, but obvs I can't condone that heinous crime.

Good call. Hard decision. But it is the responsible and correct thing to do. My octogenarian parents will thank you for your social responsibility. Not to mention all other vulnerable groups.

#PiWars 2020 has been postponed - full statement is here: piwars.org/2020-competition/… We are very sad to announce this but feel it is in the best interests of everybody and that it is inevitable.

Yesterday I managed to ride solo 100 miles on my bike. (It was a goal I'd set for 2019 which will soon be over). I would definitely do it again, but ideally in less windy and a bit warmer conditions. strava.com/activities/291747…
