Trying to flash some boards with new firmware. Holes too small. Internet suggested sewing needles. Didn’t have any. Borrowed some from parents. They came from Shopwells…which ceased to be in 1986. Clearly we don’t sew much. Needles worked though. 1 board down, 10 to go.

Needless to say, that’s the most nerdy thing I read today (no idea why this was pushed to my reader today).

It also reminded me of the Discworld Needlers who would identify and collect such needles 😀

Welp. Don’t think our building could deal with such a cold at all. We’re in trouble with -20°C already. Bad isolation especially on the heating pipes. Please don’t freeze in place!
