It's Friday! Woo hoo!
But it's not just any Friday - today is a particularly sheepy Friday - and you know what the Friday dancers say on such a Friday?
They say BAAAAAAAAA 🐑
Have a good weekend all, if you possibly can 😁

It is my third fediversary!
Strictly speaking I joined April 2022, but I floundered to start with & it was only when we decided to start things.uk that I consider myself to have properly joined.
Anyhow. Here are three Friend tooters & a honking Humph in celebration.
Thank you for your company over the last three years. Been a pleasure
Aww, you're all being so lovely, thank you
It's genuinely been a huge boost (hah) to me being here. You've all helped me find my silly again & I hugely appreciate that.
(And you still get angry about the right things too 😁 )
Sweet dreams all

As promised, here's a camera using my 3-lens M12 turret mount and a Raspberry Pi Zero. It comes with a not very efficient Python camera script, I am sure others could do better. Video on its way.
New from me, a turret mount for M12 lenses. Coming soon, a real camera using this.

Did you know that the word abominable means repugnantly hateful, detestable, or loathsome? Think about that the next time you call a yeti "the abominable snowman". Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Yeti Plush. Please be nice to him.
