she/her
queer hacker girl whoms't sleeps through most the day
it is
absurdly georgeous out here
the answer is no
hmmmm
NOAA-19 is passing over the north pole
t-6 minutes
oh god i'm the weird girl building antennas in her room in the middle of the night
for once i am my own goals...
yes my room is a mess
beach doesn't open until dawn but there's a pass at 4:30
so
let's see if i can pick it up in here
well, i'm picking up unintended signals on the antenna, which is better than the noise i had before so it's maybe working?
current mood: that scene in hackers (1995) where dade is flipping floppy disks out of his jacket pockets, except it's USB C chargers
oh wow sdr sharp actually decodes the now playing data off fm broadcasts
okay but really the 808 cow bell is probably one of the most enduring sounds ever
808 clave!
hmmm
project for another day: figure out what's at either side of fm broadcasts
i wish i hadn't disassembled the old antenna to make this
i can't compare performance
at the very least the data band sitting next to fm radio broadcasts is *very* clear now
i will be a good roommate
i won't use a drill at 2am
i will wait until 4am
this is how particle physics works
it's not that warm right now but it's just absurdly humid
i can't even cut paper
much nicer than the one i use back home
