Went ahead and resoldered the pins connecting the EPROM to the cart as it looked like I had rushed slightly when putting everything together. Got the SNES hooked up to the TV and after standard cartridge stuff the game fired right up! Looks like I can put the programmer away for the time being.

Okay, removed the second MiSTer and made room for the OG Mega Drive/Genesis. Got it hooked up, found the right power adapter and SCART cable, and even cleaned it up a bit. Think I'm done futzing around with the shelf for the time being.

Two lighted shelves showing a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis (Model 1) in a smoked acrylic shell, a MiSTer FPGA, and a SCART switch with five SCART inputs and one SCART output being used. The second shelf houses a PS1 (in a frosted acrylic shell), a SNES (in a smoked acrylic shell), and an NES (in a clear acrylic shell with a Ninten-drawer installed).

It was a revelation to see Nigerian Modernism at the Tate, especially seeing the rooms full of people who clearly felt a strong, personal connection to the work. Here are some of my favourites.
#Art

Obiora Udechukwu - Our Journey, 1993 Four ink and acrylic panels in red and green, with a strong yellow serpent-like shape running through to a coil on the right. The original is very large and impressive.
Demas Nwoko, Night Club in Dakar, 1963 Three dancing couples, the men small and dressed in black, the women large and wearing red dresses. The background is colourful pools of light.
Ben Enwonwu, Negritude, 1973 A tall canvas in dark blue and black tones, featuring a radical curved female nude, side on. She is depicted infront of what look like trees, her head is bowed, creating a gorgeous curve down her back.

ORAC: The idiosyncratic syntax of riddles interests me. They seem to depend for their effect on solecisms and grammatical discrepancies.

Claude Sonnet 4.5 describes the image as: "This image shows a close-up view of someone interacting with what appears to be a transparent electronic device or experimental apparatus. The person, wearing a brown/tan colored top, is gripping the edges of a clear acrylic or plastic case with both hands. Inside the transparent housing, there's a complex array of electronic components including circuit boards (visible green PCBs), various colored wires, LEDs or indicators (pink/red visible), and what…

Washing machine filter captures microfibers as small as 20 micrometers in size
A single laundry load containing synthetic clothing can release thousands of plastic microfibers from nylon, acrylic and polyester materials. Lab testing of an SA-made washing machine filter at Flinders University shows it can be a useful new way to help protect waterways from polyester and other synthetic microparticles.

Still not feeling great, but figured today would be a great day to finally test out the entirety of the custom FF6 cart I built so long ago. Broke out the Sony PVM-2530, got everything hooked up, and now it's time to beat all of the things down.
The SNES is modded with Voultar's SNESRGB mod, and the video/audio goes out via a SCART connector into the SCART switch (`gscart`), then into the CMPTR adapter, _then_ into the Sony PVM.
I do have two SCART switches, and if you…

A poor photograph of Terra in bed after being rescued in Narshe on a Sony PVM-2530 CRT running Final Fantasy 6.
The custom shelled Super Nintendo running a custom cart of FF6 with the decensored Ted Woolsey translation in a clear acrylic shell.
The custom CMPTR adapter that allows you to hook up RGB via BNC cables to the Sony PVM-2530. Pretty happy that the CMPTR connector didn't really take off...

New speakers installed, got the consoles hooked up to the SCART switch and everything wired up. The new speakers sound great, nothing caught fire, and everything works. Cleanup successful.

A JVC PVM sitting between two large-ish speakers on top of a printer cart. The shelf below has a SNES sitting beside a smol MiSTer FPGA. Beside that is a charging PS1 controller and a SCART switch. The bottom shelf holds a PS1 console in a clear acrylic case, an NES in a clear acrylic case, and another MiSTer that's actually hooked up.
