A test screen with the WU3 Segments font. A screenshot of the Windows font preview application, showing the WU3 Segments font.
A screenshot of Birdfont with the WU3 Segments font, highlighting the guessed characters (blue dot) and the duplicates (gray background). A screenshot of a Linux terminal using the WU3 Segments font, it is not really usable but it's fun. It shows a list of the root file system and the apt moo command with a cow asking "have you mooed today?".

You guys did soldering?! And CAD?!!
A decade later, I had such a class called "technology" in the main curriculum, where we made… a folding wooden bench 🫠️

That said, that bench is very sturdy and practical, and I'm still using it daily two decades later. So there you go, bug-free #technology right there, with an Enterprise-Grade™ lifecycle 🎖️ (I suppose @federicomena would confirm that #woodworking outlasts #electronics and code by a long shot).

So I've been building a 100% analog polyphonic synthesizer with an unique twist. To use only vacuum tube era technology from the 1930s.

Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago.

Still a work-in-progress, but I wanted to post a video of it with the innards spread out across the workbench. : }

I call it the "Neon String Machine"

For anyone who needs to fill their timeline with more quality content here's a list of #makers and #electronics people I have come across on the Fediverse who have been active at some point in the last few months.

Hi I am Anja, i am new here on sonomu.club - thanks for having me! 😀 May I introduce myself with some snippets of my work, starting with a
rehearsal together with Helmut Buntjer for a performance with our label #schwarzweissistdiebesserefarbe #livesoundtrack for #silentfilm with #accordion #electronics #trombone #euphonium

Ha, the scope seller said they are on a business trip and will take a look of the scope for me later. Good news. #electronics

Continue my hunt of old test equipment above 1 GHz. Last week I ordered a similar Tektronix sampling oscilloscope from another seller, but it's still not shipped yet. I'm not sure whether the vendor wants to sell it at this point... :blobshrug: Finding a cheap one is the exception rather than the rule (*), but I'll continue searching for them... #electronics

(*) unless you live in the Silicon Valley or near the MIT, both locations have the biggest electronic flea markets in the U.S., you can find a lot of unusual equipment there...

Found vintage #Tektronix sampling oscilloscope online with 20 GHz sampling + TDR modules installed at a great price. 🤓 But the screen in the photo actually displays a self-test failure :oh_no: Can either be a module fault (replaceable) or a mainframe fault (can be impossible to fix), let's see if I can convince the seller to do some tests... #electronics
