just tried my hand at making bread, ancient Roman style. may i present Panis Quadratus made with a blend of buckwheat, white whole wheat, and white flour. wild sourdough yeast, natch. #YeastMasters@SeamusBlackley this is all your fault, look what you've done to me
this loaf is much heavier than it looks, it's like the tungsten of bread! kneading it was...quite a workout, i was dripping with sweat and my hands are still tired.
feeling a bit peckish, i ate half of one of those sections. i am full now, this feels like an entire meal. pretty tasty too.

i printed a new panel insert that has two BNC sockets on it (the original probes would have had captive cables)

in honor of Sim Wong Hoo, here's a quick historical review of the Sound Blaster! 🧵
but first we have to go back to their first sound card, the Creative Music System from 1987. (image credit: Bratgoul on Wikipedia)
this card has some special "CMS-301" chips. if you peel back the sticker, they have had their top marks removed. they're actually SAA1099 synthesizer chips made by Philips. Creative wrote music composition software for musicians on the PC.
