The Bibby Stockholm plan was never about saving cash. It’s about conspicuous punishment
I hadn't lost her, but it's always good to know that signs are available just in case.
appropriately purpley too

Mastodon combines 2 of my favourite things - memes and talking to myself.

how many clogs was the mouse that went clip-clippety-clop, there on the stairs of that amsterdam windmill wearing...

Sorting through photos. Too many of rocks to be sensible. But I like this one. It has a hat on.

The friendly face of nuclear power.
Apologies for the shoddy photo, it was taken from a moving car (while a passenger, obvs.) as we drove past Torness Power Station, while I shouted out to my fellow travelers "Look, it's waving at us".
Much eye-rolling ensued, but look at its cheery wee face!

Trying to communicate with the corvids. Not sure it's working.
A quick meetup with someone else from here doing a random project and we have a few more pixels to share...

Well bother.
I have now found my hardware keyboard to add in some ALT text for the pics in this thread, and my phone's mastodon client crashes if I edit my posts.
I will now go and cry in accessibility.
...and see if I can edit them on my laptop instead.
that all done, set the watch to Comms -> PC, put it soooo clooooose to the infrared adaptor (like an inch or two max, and facing straight-in)
upload-all aaaaaand slowly it slurps the images down.
blimey.
it worked.
Next up, convert those pics from bmp to png (minor space saving as only 120x120 pixels anyway, but let's aim for compatible with today...)
Run the Casio Link software again...
File -> options
set your output directory to where you can find it again (thanks Wine. your directory structure attempting to overlay that of non-Windows OSs is nothing short of random)
set your comms to port 1 and the PAD-2 adaptor
set your chosen output format (use BMP here)
Okay that stuff.
aaaaaaand...
wait, I can upload 1, upload all, but download is greyed out?
Oh. Casio made this a bit backwards in my brain.
Upload *from watch*
Download *to watch*
D'oh
Regedit in Wine.
HK_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wine/Ports
add a String
call it Com1
edit its value to be /dev/ttyUSB0
(or whatever yours shows up as)
Ok that, then back the hell away from Regedit sobbing quietly.
next, I feel the need, the need for speeeeeed.
make sure you have permissions over your usb to serial adaptor.
sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0
will do at a pinch.
next up,
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 -a
shows you what the port is doing now.
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
sets the speed. yay.
