A while back I was making an animation of some caterpillars & found dragging the timeline scrubber back & forth in time with the music playing in the room most entertaining.
Now, if this makes you think "what a foolish thing to be entertained by" you probably want to scroll on. This post is not for you.
If this makes you think "hey - I want to make a caterpillar dance" then you want to click this link. Oh aye.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of David Harley, a brilliant cybersecurity expert, former ESET Senior Research Fellow, author and long-time Virus Bulletin contributor.
David's legacy spans decades of research, writing, and public speaking, always with a focus on making the internet safer for all. He was also a passionate musician and a kind, generous soul.
Rest in peace, David. You will be missed. 💙
Someone put this "blue plaque" on a London Tesla showroom to mark his becoming the world's first trillionaire. “World’s first trillionaire Elon Musk. Could have solved world hunger but funded fascists instead. Bellend.” https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/everyone-hates-elon-protest-tesla-dealership-london-400042/
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.
