L-Tyhroxin is the hormone the thyroid gland produces. My doc said to take half a dose for the weekend and then switch up to the full dose. So I did. I took 25 μg four times and since then every day 50 μg half an hour before breakfast.

The first four days were heaven. I have never felt so good in the last one and a half years like I did in the first four days. I was enthusiastic, optimistic, I had energy, I was well rested, it was amazing. Sadly, switching to the full dose kind of put a halt to this great feeling. I still am well rested, but motivation and enthusiasm are gone – but maybe this has to do with the flu?

I was at the doctors office and I got diagnosed with the flu (which led to 5 sick days I am grateful for), but of course this could be counteracting the high I felt from the Thyroxin.

I weigh now 98kg and I am hungry, like all the time. I knew metabolism would increase, but in order to loose weight I need to stop stuffing my face with sweets.

I am alive!

Some time went by since I posted my last entry and much happened.

I am working on my Kass cosplay, I finished the trousers, I bought a brown pantyhose for the legs and I finished cutting and glueing the feet. I still need to sand, prime and paint them but it’s coming along nicely. If everything happens according to plan, I can wear it on AniMuc or even LBM 🙂

My CNC-Mill is almost finished. All axes work, I just need to install the limit switches and the tool I ordered this week. We had to completely redesign some parts and completely replace the power supply and the motor drivers, but it was worth it!

I now have a Ko-Fi and I would love your support, though I barely and rarely produce content, sorry!

I also offer electronics-commissions, hit me up if you’re interested 🙂

I wanna be more active next year and I think the best way to do that is to have less projects, so I’m trying to finish most of them by the end of January.

So long,
Tiger 🙂

I was firstborn of Eve Greathouse, but she preferred to be called Madre. I was given the name Bob and tended the farm together with my little brother Ted. When mother couldn’t have children anymore, she told us that our family line was going to die and she wanted us to venture out and get wives of our own. I travelled not far but was killed by a bear before I could deliver the finishing arrow.

I was Tobias, but I didn’t do much because there wasn’t much to do in this prospering village.

I have a shitton of projects on my hand that need to be finished:

A lightsaber replica (teamup with modelbaubert from whoyagonnacall)

CNC milling machine

Vaccumformer

Cosplays! (Princess Luna wig, Hermoine wig, Watcher from Horizon Zero Dawn)

Gaming (haven’t finished Horizon Zero Dawn, Breath of the Wild and Batman the Telltale game)

Plus usual chores x_x

Somebody hacked my wordpress – luckily I had a backup of my database, so everything is back to normal…

I think, many people understand something different than I when they hear the word ‚lightbow‘.

This is, what I understand:

This is a violin bow with 30, individually adressable RGB-Pixels attached to it. It is controlled by an Arduino Pro Mini (5V, 16MHz) via a single wire protocol (exactly like the Adafruit Neopixels only much cheaper (17€/m on amazon, one time offer)).

You can find the sketch for the arduino here (on my github account 🙂 )

There are quite a few things to do, so feel free to fork the repo and do some pullrequests – the most important thing would be management of the different modes the bow has.

This part here

const int NUMBER_OF_FUNCTIONS = 10;
typedef void (* functionPointer) ();
functionPointer functionPointerArray[NUMBER_OF_FUNCTIONS];

[...]

  functionPointerArray[0] = ClearStrip;
  functionPointerArray[1] = SetStripWhite;
  functionPointerArray[2] = Flag;
  functionPointerArray[3] = SlowKitt;
  functionPointerArray[4] = FastKitt;
  functionPointerArray[5] = FastDisco;
  functionPointerArray[6] = FastWhiteStrobe;
  functionPointerArray[7] = FastPulse;
  functionPointerArray[8] = Rainbow;
  functionPointerArray[9] = FastForwardPacman;

is just plain ugly, I would have liked something like a vector of delegates, but I just couldn’t quite figure out how to do it yet 🙁

Edit: I replaced the functionPointerArray through a linked list from the LinkedList library, now it’s easy maintainable, huzzar!

Oh and here is a video of the different modes 🙂 (not all of them, though, I added a few after making this short video).
