Make sure your entertainment is not a grind too.

I mean, regularly gauge how addictive your video-game choices are. Many modern video-games have been constructed as psychological quagmires with seductive dopamine reinforcement-loops.

Keep your mind fresh by investigating FOSS gaming.

The complete full moon came up over a ridge as we drove North, 150km between towns, in the East Kimberley.

A welcome sight to break up the drive.

I know what you mean about the 10inch dobsonian too. I set up one with an auto tracking mount to show Jupiter and moons, at an open-night in a fairly dark-sky location.

It's a bit of a rush to know it's just a few compact pieces of glass and mirror allowing you to view Jupiter in detail.

Is it possible to manually track Jupiter or Saturn with levers? That would be pretty skilful.

Thanks for your efforts! 💗

I've listened to 100s of librivox.org books over the past 15 years.

The only name I can bring to mind right now is GreenKRI, who did some Aesop's Fables and other readings. 🙂

Excellent website.

A startup sound and a shutdown sound, about 20 years ago.

Just 2 short drum fills, made in LMMS or something.

Had fade-in on one, and panning effect thrown in on the other.

I liked them.

Can still kind of replay the shutdown one in my head :-)
