a burrowing owl, that was exciting since we're supposed to have them at home, but I had never seen one

Demo of 64x96 with ESP32 and 128x192 on Rasberry Pi
Jon, presenting the miniconf as per how many
This year's dingo car, controlled by the rPi
Andy presenting the software side of the car
and before long, I got my car to drive around on its own
Chris had a fancy wheelchair enhanced with Jon's improvements
took a lot to run those video consoles back then, lots of it was RAM
there was no framebuffer, sprites and backgrounds were rendered real time during CRT gun scans
backgrounds were rendered fro a bunch of tiles to same RAM
of course I 'need' an ESP32 watch :)
it'll be back in Canberra a 3rd time
Jon Oxer won the Rusty Wrench award this year, and it was well deserved
I had to fly through Auckland which nicely made me go back through security and took all my stuff apart needlessly
some bats happily sleeping there
I always carry seeds for a good reason :)
the best viewpoint in the world was not stellar due to the air
first time with a tree kangaroo, they are normally not very social
I got copiously yelled at for daring to take/use my camera on this ride
that's a bigger cat than I'd play with myself :)
they have a story of a creation snake
I tried expensive wagyu in a highly rated steak restaurant, and it was not melt in your mouth despite the very steep price
it is located at the back of the grand palais, an iconic building in Paris
exhibits on magnetism, showing magnets lose their properties when they are too warm
more interesting: stream of liquid gas is susceptible to magnetism
supraconductive material, when cooled sufficiently will stay in a magnetic equilibrium
induced electric currents from magnetism allow for levitation, and it's hot
it's all about density, yes this is real water and a real bowling ball
it gets to open a jar with a crab inside
and then came the time for the full scale maglev demo
a bit of time to cool down the supraconductive magnets
oxygen in the air liquefies first, and causes flammable liquid
safety goggles are for other people :)
they had bucket fulls of liquid gas to play with
