Nope, the hassle of setting up a new site, and the hidden costs probably mean we'll keep with shopify for a while longer.
For now a blog post on Open Source composed on the new site shop.mearm.com/blogs/news/t...
@simonprickett.dev how's life with you? Where did you end up working?
Oh got it has an "AI social media assistant", which it seems just makes up random shit. I feel sick
Image showing new website
Started the painful process of migrating websites. Old platform not offering the value we need for our small volumes.
playback from realtime trainer recording!

Off brand raspberry pi pico on a development board for the MeArm robot arm.
World's slowest prototype takes another microstep forward towards compatibility with Raspberry Pi Pico. Also plugged in the sliders board for testing and it's all going surprisingly ok...
Still killing it. Huge respect as ever.
Doom scrolling about Greenland. That's where it's at these days.

Strangely nostalgic for Airmail stickers. I know you can still get them, but they're utterly redundant these days.
Memories of thin blue paper to write to my relatives in Australia, my gosh, I'm old!
I'll get back to them Martin! Nearly finished (who am I kidding?!) the big house project
Orders heading to Bristol, Barcelona, and Menlo Park, CA today. A quiet day, but I'll take it!
Global shake up is going to butcher so many businesses. End of days for some, companies like Adafruit add huge amounts of value in the USA, but their supply chain is global and they'll be hammered by tariffs.
Thank you! Needed that this morning 🤖❤️
Messy desk scene. Random robot parts, maybe a cake and definitely coffee.
Scenes from the desk in 2015. Robot parts and coffee. 10 years on and some things just don't need changing!
Repairing cars and building time machines?
The System Admin page for Norbot, the robot from Aardman's Vengeance Most Fowl.
Now that is a feature packed robot! Inspiration from Aardman and master roboteer and inventor Wallace.
Is @mbanzi.bsky.social now repairing cars on YouTube?
Is it Henry?
Yup, loads, don't think they made the bin yet. Let me have a look and get back to you.
MOrning! It's cowd out there me ducks!
Stay home, drink coffee, build robots instead.
Oh I like that, having a Blueskie
