@jscholes Bet it was a cheap phone. The cheaper phones are the loudest I swear. They distort like crazy too.

@Orinks @jpellis2008 Damn dude. Makes me want to add band condition reports and solar into jj flex with that kind of description. What engine do you use to get all the profanity lol.

@roaratron @Mendi_Tech I use netlify and cloudflare for domain for the blind hams network web site. I transferred one domain from namecheap. Cloudflare is not perfect but it's way better than namecheap that used to be cool but isn't anymore.

I don't need a news feed anymore. I've got a neighbor that texts me both useful and super whacky headlines. We all say hi when taking the trash out or just hanging out. Nice quiet neighborhood rife for gossip and conspiracy theories lol.

Everyone gets super excited when finding out about new features, but then when I talk about upcoming features and then realize that I'll have test plans for these things that will take hundreds of tests to properly verify functionality. Dreading it, but damn it'll be cool when it's done. For now though, I've got 40 tests left on a logger that I wasn't too excited until I started working on it. Makes me want to use the in-radio logger rather than a standard logger like N3FJP or N1MM. I think what's more likely is that you'll use a logger that's best for the time, place, and event. If I've got 3 frequencies tracking across from left to right in stereo and I'm tracking multipliers, probably be easier to log it all in the radio app, that is until a really good global keystroke system comes into being. On the roadmap. #JJFlexRadio

@lerven @wiljames @desertstar84 Have you gotten closer to finishing that thing? My wife has students who'll definitely be in on the thing.

I'm flabbergasted. The committee chairman in charge of the homeland security committee for the house said that it's against the rules to openly say things that could offend the president or the vice president. This is new, isn't it? I can't find a reference as to if this is a new rule. Sure smells of North Korea to me.

@SecureOwl @ai6yr That's why I run security checking algorithms on my code and always am thinking security and accessibility first. I worry about applications that are made with zero code point and click interfaces. I know enough about coding to prompt in a way that this crap shouldn't be happening. As with anything, though, could happen. I'm just glad I know enough as to not be as dangerous as those who can't read and understand the code their agent has written.

heartbreak hotel Grizzleys. I can't how often you lose in the last seconds. It's hard being a fan. My friend is still injured. We have one thing in common, and it's why I know an NBA player, we're injured often, he just gets paid millions and gets injured. Trust me, it's not fun for him.V

@BorrisInABox @arfy @simon Exactly. I've actually been studying it lately. I want to make sure AI is doing a proper fft when it sonifies spectroscopes.

@arfy @BorrisInABox @simon Same here. I respect those who take the little that's given us to support hardware and run with it. Wait til you hear fart mode on JJ Flex cause it exists. Love making easter eggs. I doubt that Flex Systems Inc. will be pleased.

@BorrisInABox @arfy Oh hell yeah. It's now on the roadmap. Already planning a keyboard based iambic and straight key, why not use middle C to transmit and G 1 to dit or dah or both.

@arfy @BorrisInABox Hey, I could use this as a cw key when I add support for it in JJ flex. Yes, ssh it all to hell.
