      1. I’m building a word clock based on an Arduino Nano and a NeoPixel strip, and whilst it’s not the best soldering 👨‍🏭 job I’ve done, I’m incredibly proud that it works at all. Still lots of work to do, like cutting the letters and a cardboard grid… Soon. ES IST ZEHN NACH ELF

    Finally worked on the software side of the word clock. It’s a present for my wife, so it’s in Catalan: ÉS UN QUART MENYS CINC DE VUIT (It’s a quarter minus five of eight, i.e., 19:40.) github.com/tomayac/think_wordclock-catalan/blob/main/wordclock_catalan/wordclock_catalan.ino

      It's done in all its imperfect glory. Son tres quarts i cinc de deu. This was a hell of a DIY job with so many things I wish I had done differently. It was also way over the top of my skills, but I've done it. Happy 40th birthday to my wife. Belatedly.

      Sorry, 19:10 of course. Quarters-based time management is 🤯: 7:00 → 7 7:05 → 7 + 5 7:10 → 1 ¼ - 5 of 8 7:15 → 1 ¼ of 8 7:20 → 1 ¼ + 5 of 8 7:25 → 2 ¼ - 5 of 8 7:30 → 2 ¼ of 8 7:35 → 2 ¼ + 5 of 8 7:40 → 3 ¼ - 5 of 8 7:45 → 3 ¼ of 8 7:50 → 3 ¼ + 5 of 8 7:55 → 8 - 5
