[ot][spam][crazy] thoughts while struggling to do many inhibited things at once
life is an attempt to rise against the force of gravity to show the universe, that after trillions of years of crushing into spheres, our planet has learned to solve that problem. to keep life, intelligence, and wild interconnection, growing and spreading, and thinking and being -- despite the weight of billions of tons of carbon. I was thinking of names for the logic analyser I can barely turn my body toward. first I thought of "shitty logic analyzer" or "crappy logic analyzer". "crappy" , like the toilet flushing of beautiful hopes and dreams. "trashy logic analyzer" . but I don't like the focus on things like "trash" even existing. some _people_ are called trash. meanwhile we throw a bunch of useful stuff out all the time. useful stuff like my rtlsdr that could be a 2MHz logic probe! so then I was thinking of inverting the culture. names like "logic analyzer of the ousted dictator's secret service" "king's logic analyzer" "monarch's spy network logic analyzer" "billionaire's logic analyzer" "classified logic level project recovered from bombed bunker" then there are other names that cross things or add more fluffy stuff. things like "classified destiny probe and design toolkit" "monarch's bowel and lower intestine deep in-depth network analyzer" "time traveling wormhole inspector" this project started as a very normal daydream eight years ago. meanwhile, I see that nobody is really [crossed out:-making-] _finishing_ these obvious things. meanwhile they're being _made_ everywhere. time traveling butt wormhole project of the old dynasty's secret service. king's recycling program. basically it lets you take crummy things you find in a discarded electronics bin by visiting the dump after hours, and combine them to make tools to figure out how they work and repurpose them. it solves the chicken and egg problem by casting hatching as laying and vice versa.
since our destiny is to _not_ be pools of hyperpressured magma from trillions of years of slow collection, I better figure out how to do stuff like this
"King George's Request": The Third. "If I have to ask you a fourth time I'm coming over there and pulling it out of the dump myself." On Wed, Apr 6, 2022, 9:55 PM Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many <gmkarl@gmail.com> wrote:

Maybe we could make the logic analyzer out of money. Like, not buy anything, I don't mean that: sell our existing logic analyzers and build new ones out of coins and dollar bills. Gold is an incredibly good conductor, and easy to solder.
King Monarch: "I need a small, hobby recycling tool. Made out of trash." Wealthy Courtperson, Wearing Gems: "Sorry, did you mis-speak?" King Monarch: "I did not." Wealthy Courtperson, Wearing Gems: "We will make for the finest recycling tool the world has ever seen." KIng Monarch: "Are you an imbecile? I said _hobby_, _small_, _made out of trash_. I want something I can easily copy myself, or give to the septic worker and they could copy it!" Wealthy Courtperson, Wearing Gems: "We will begin at once." KIng Monarch: "And take off those gems!"
The timetraveling wormhole analyzer of the old king's secret service is a basic signal organizer based on gnuradio. It classifies emission bursts, records them in a database, and provides an interface to review them. They are associated with metadata that can be correlated to identify sources. I am not immediately building this tool, but it's nice to mention it. I'm just trying to troubleshoot a failing board.

so at this point I have some c-style python code that has the parts separate, but not put together. very hasty.
when thinking of making this hasty one-off solution to not having electronics tools (or experience using them) it is easy to get distracted by these other things.
names are silly distractions, although the concept combinations can help. a next step is likely to get the recording loop to store to disk. I think something is partially written.
"universal time rewinder" "complexity-generating device" "physical law augmenter" "molecule inspector" "mushroom-based wormhole expander" "teleportation machine generator, mark II" "reality inverter" "social network designer: name your friends before you met them!" "debugging toolkit for debugging your debuggers" hey that last one is a little accurate. maybe add that, rather than being a toolkit, it is something that also needs debugging.
"synthetic bug producer" wait is that what the nsa touts everywhere? On Wed, Apr 6, 2022, 10:48 PM Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many <gmkarl@gmail.com> wrote:

Update: turns out earth is mostly iron and oxygen, because it is _so easy_ for carbon and hydrogen to escape into space, that most has already. we're working on including all the elements in our plans together. it's a long journey.
This intensity is probably around the idea of apps and tools for measuring shielding attenuation.
