"Gene is a special case in that he uses non-standard hardware to do 
things that the rest of us don't do, working in ways that we don't work. 
We do our best, but that's often not good enough".

The hardware I use has nothing non-std in the field I work in. But 99% 
of you folks haven't the foggiest idea of what we get the dirt under our 
fingernails from, or how we "get it done". To many, the Boston Dynamics 
dog is magic, but I can visualize the gcode that makes it dance. I write 
that stuff from scratch myself.

"Being a pioneer is a lonely thing."

I cannot emphasize that chance phrase enough. Its lonesome enough when I 
have no one to talk to as I work out how to do something useful with all 
this tech. My long term partner succumbed to COPD 4 years ago, so yes, 
this is a lonely house. I'd try to get me another, but at my age (90) 
theres way too much baggage to deal with both for me, and any potential 
partners. There are no blank slates out there.

Here's hoping for a better 2025 for all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
