...well that I forgot anyway. Like this blog! Yes it has been a year since my last post about squirrels. But the resillience and absoluteness of this blog shall remain resolute and keep going for a while longer. Well another four years at least since I apparently bought quite a considerable domain extension a few years ago.

A lot has happened in this year. After Oxford I spent some time in London finally ending up in Edinburgh and the summer I spent mainly in Edinburgh and various places in Italy.

Still rather unsure of what to do and where to go next, with no work and no stable future in sight. I decided to start a game project. This brings us back to the title of this blog post where Mikomwood finally gets a worthy future counterpart; HyperVentila.
Many years in the making ( in my head ) this made science fantasy spinnoff from Mikomwood has been a bit of a mystery of how to make. While Mikomwood was to me what the Discworld was to Terry Pratchett, HyperVentila would of course seem like another jump to made comic novelist and radio-play writer Douglass Adams and his Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Not this time! I wanted HyperVentila to be something else.
A universe of exploration, making your own madness and interactivity. So a game of course.

What have I got to show so far? some screenshots! and a silly Android port on my phone...

Some things have been a challenge in designing this game so far but I've learnt a lot.

I also recently designed a website for my dear Ilaria: www.ilariagiacon.com Check it out!

That's it for this blog. Until next time.

...more paracord stuff. Yep, that's about it. Oh and I made a watch strap for a watch. The theme of this weekend was red-black-silver... as with pretty much any other time.

Well... here are two hours of my life I'll never get back. Still better than nothing though.

The lighter wrap tutorial I followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfRw1L9SeQs (the hard part is fitting it to your lighter)

So yeah, I've started making paracord bracelets and other stuffies from paracord.  I've made a blog category for this new hobby. We'll see where it goes.

Have a nice day!

I 3d printed some vest buttons. They're quite practical, really easy to unbutton because of the tip on one end but they don't slip out because the wider other end locks them in place. The vest I got from a clothes-swapping event that took place last week.

I also bought this cute figure of Yoda from a friend. Check out her blog you must, at HappyYarnJobs.blogspot.se.

What else have I been doing since my last blog entry?

• I started using Instagram.
• I stopped using Instagram.
• I went to a motor show.
• I got a new laptop (HP Spectre x360 13").
• Did loads of 3D printing.
• Was in a newspaper.
• Went to Holland for a few days.
• Bought silly sunglasses.
• Did more 3D printing.
• Was in a newspaper again.
• I quite got into paracord braiding.
• I now have a plant.
  
• Went to a clothes-swapping event (where I was in the newspaper... again).
  
• Stacked some wood at my parents place.
• Went biking for the first time of the year.

That's about it for this blog. Happy Easter!

Here's a generic blog update on... nothing in particular. Work is going great, we got a present from the 1980s delivered yesterday:

The 3D printing is going rather well although the best 3D print I have seen thus far came from a resin-printer in the Karlstad makerspace of a Warhammer 40K Space Marine:

I will be painting it at some point in the future in my own custom colours.
Speaking of which. Sometimes I really do have too much time on my hands:

A new jacket and scarf go a long way towards making a red and black style work well. Custom red shoelaces because why not.

Another project I've been trying to get time for is to make some jewelry with 3D printed components. I was thinking some anchor bracelets to start out with:

That's it for this blog entry, have a nice day!

Here is also a picture of the bus-ride home:

I visited another Makerspace yesterday, might even work there at some point in the future. They mainly work with bio-composite 3D printing and some PLA-based materials.

Here are some examples of things printed with these materials:

They are bringing in even more 3D printers and the goal appears to be being able to print products at any size and custom built specifically for that consumer.

It's an interesting project and place to be for sure. I'm currently learning their machines and way of operating but maybe I'll joi... OH MY GOD, A MOTHERFLIPPIN' ROBOT

...ok while this isn't part of the 3D printing-project, she is just standing there in a half-abandoned production facility in the adjacent locales. This thing is freaking massive and I think is used to stack and move around planks.... maybe. Either way, she looks lonely.

That's about it for this blog. We'll see how this turns out. That robot though...

Yes, this project is still going. Just made this little lamp. It's attached to the wall with a magnet so you can use it as a torch when reading or just remove it altogether.

Here is how the apartment looks at the moment:

Doing some experiments with lamp v 2.0. Going for either cloth or coloured paper to give the apartment some red-ish mood-lighting:

I was also recently at a restaurant and they had these awesome decorations in the window:

That's not actually fire, just a smoke machine with a light underneath (I'm guessing) but the effect is surprisingly convincing. I would love one of those for my apartment. Depending on where I could get it and how much it would cost.

That's about it for this update. Expecting mostly everything to be assembled in the next update.

Last Tuesday we went to Norway to try out some tricycles. There were tricycles with electromotors and regular recumbent bikes. We tried out all sorts but the red one in the photos was my favorite.
