Recently I started learning Godot 4 by taking a 3D game development course on Udemy. It's been a lot of fun so far, and it is helping me reach another goal of mine relating to making my own 3D game. I'm certainly not ready for prime time, and I'm a …
Kids and cats and fake original Nintendo controllers don't mix.
Well, at least that's my experience.
Not much to write on this one, but the kids are rough on the controllers. I can't blame them for that, it is hard not to jump to the right and drag the whole …
One of my side hobbies is learning how to make video games in Godot. I was going through a great tutorial, but I got sidetracked due to the usual life circumstances. Now I have a little more free time again, and I want to get back into learning Godot. One …
I would like to start this post by saying I'm not that bright. Further, there are way, way, way brighter people, of whom you should be following their blog. However, for what it is worth, this is my script for automagically updating my clickable app for Ubuntu Touch. You can …
After many hours of fiddling with my modded Arduino-TNC and my HTX-212, I finally got it to transmit a test email from my cell phone using WoAD.
I adjusted the HTX to "high" for transmit, half volume output, squelch full counter clockwise (off), turned of "T" and "T-Squelch".

While trying to troubleshoot my Winlink packet connections with my home-brewed, slightly modified Arduino-TNC, I found that mobilinkd has made a GUI tool in python that allows you to adjust the settings. The only problem was following the instructions to install it!
First, you can download this great tool here …

Here is a backup of the stock firmware for the CAT S42G super partition. It is gzipped to compress it from 8 GB down to 1.4 GB. I took this backup after doing a fresh wipe of the phone, so it is stock and clean. Make sure you unzip …
From my previous posts, you can see that I am enjoying the journey of trying to build a custom ROM for the CAT S42G cell phone. In particular, I am building LineageOS 19.1, because that is the version that matches the OTA update that I pulled and extracted with …
Last post we looked at extracting/downloading your OTA zip from your phone. Now, if you have your OTA zip you can use dumpyara to extract it, and then aospdtgen to create a LineageOS tree for it. Here I use my OTA zip which I downloaded (cf1f7c3fa1596c87f045cee1508823c98667fa06.zip) :
