Completed the standing desk riser. Not a "sit/stand" one - I have a seated desk in another room, this is in the "spare" room where space is limited.

Because it needs to move when people (like our eldest) visit l, I've made this collapsible. The whole thing folds down to the width of the rear legs.

Made from #palletwood and some steel tubing from a disused mini-greenhouse.

Really pleased with this. I'll finish the ubiquitous blog post and share it in due course.

A white wooden A-frame with two shelves stands atop a black desk. It has vertical back legs and angled front legs (thus forming a right-angles triangle). On the top shelf is a black monitor and the lower shelf holds a small keyboard. An open laptop sits on the desk surface beneath the frame.

Old Chromebooks get Second Life as Video Wall.

The general idea with this project was to strip each Chromebook down to just a motherboard and an LCD, stick them on the wall, and then play the same video on all of them at once. This sounds relatively easy, but they quickly found out that the limited hackability of ChromeOS to be a limiting factor.

What would you do with dozens and dozens of outdated Chromebooks that are no longer getting updates from the Google Mothership? It’s a situation that plenty of schools will have to deal with in the near future, and I can only hope that those institutions have students as clever as [Varun Biniwale] and his friend [Aksel Salmi] to lean on — as they managed to recycle ten of these outdated laptops into an impressive video display. There’s actually two write-ups for this particular story, with [Varun] documenting the modification of the Chromebooks and the software developed to play the video between them, and [Aksel] covering how the hardware was ultimately attached to the wall via bespoke 3D printed mounting brackets. <https://varun.ch/posts/videowall/> <https://akselsalmi.com/blog/videowall>
[ImageSource: Varun Biniwale & Aksel Salmi] So the decision was made to remove the physical write protection screws from each computer, which would allow for the installation of a standard Linux distribution. Once running stock Debian, it took some custom scripts to get each machine to boot up into Chromium and point at the appropriate web page. From there, socket.io is used to synchronize the playback of the carefully prepared video file. <https://youtu.be/6HSC_Q2xEgI>
[ImageSource: Varun Biniwale & Aksel Salmi] On the other side of the project, [Aksel] shows the logistics of taking the machines apart and getting them ready for their new jig. Initial experiments focused on mounting the hardware to a laser-cut piece of acrylic, which looked good, but simply wasn’t robust enough. In the end, the solution was a highly customized 3D printed mount which holds the motherboard securely while also providing a place to attach each LCD. End-of-life Chromebooks can be had for pennies on the dollar, and they’ll only become more common with time, so I’m eager to see what folks end up doing with them. Between the hardware and software aspects of this particular hack, I’m sure there’s a trick or two you’ll pick up from this one.

Patchwork skirt is done!

I have no idea how many squares I cut and sewed for this, but each square was 11x11cm, the waist is about 1,6m and the hem about 4m.

I tried to use similar muted colours both from my own stash and the scrap bins at work. There's one green patch at the back that doesn't match and I hate that! It was originally at the front and I ended up undoing that entirely to move it to the back. 😅

Last picture is there to show you that it has POCKETS!

Ps. Sorry about the lack of alt text, I have a migraine coming and really need to go lie down, I'll work on that when I feel better.

Pps. Also sorry about the picture quality, no sun today!
