What software do people use to create Gcode from a .DXF? (preferably something I can run on a Mac or a Pi) I may or may not have a new toy that speaks GRBL. ;p
So after airbrushing Donald Duck on one side of my MTB helmet, I needed Papa Smurf on the other side. At only 45mm high. Would be tricky to spray a cartoon character much smaller x.com/raspitv/status…

A bit of playtime in the workshop. Laser cut masking tape stencils. Quite fiddly at this size (only 45mm high) but managed to airbrush Donald Duck onto my MTB helmet.
On the intensive care unit today covering a colleague who is unwell, so only time for a brief update this week. You may have seen a lot of coverage that London hospitals are very badly affected by COVID-19 right now. This is all pretty accurate I’m afraid. 1/10
Download and backup all your Garmin Connect activity data with a Raspberry Pi and some Python scripts. .fit, .tcx or .gpx raspi.tv/2020/back-up-y…
Here's an airbrush project I've been working on over the last three weeks or so (not all the time). Quite pleased with how it's turned out.
Learn to cherish your workshop 'down-time'. Put some nice music on and tidy up, sweep the floor, organise your tools, sort out the components and actually work ON the workshop. Trust me, it's very therapeutic and it won't be long before you have an idea worthy of some enthusiasm

Glad to see some sensible, realistic journalism about our current predicament appearing today. I still don't think a lot of people 'get it' yet (the people in Lidl this morning certainly didn't) bbc.co.uk/news/uk-523082… theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

It hasn't escaped my notice that @adamjkucharski tweets are going viral (ooh the irony). But, as an epidemiologist who models pandemics, he knows what he's talking about and people need to hear the message, so well worth a follow.

The Government has made an ad about the Coronavirus and its surprisingly honest and informative 🌍🦠 👉 Spread the message not the virus: #FlattenTheCurve
I watched this @FryRsquared documentary recently. Highly recommended, very topical, and I believe some of the data collected are being used to model various UK scenarios. If outside UK, you'd need to use a VPN/proxy to access it, but obvs I can't condone that heinous crime.
Good call. Hard decision. But it is the responsible and correct thing to do. My octogenarian parents will thank you for your social responsibility. Not to mention all other vulnerable groups.
