Yikes! Looks hopeful as of 3rd of September they say the following on facebook:

> Just a small mid-late month update. Thanks again to everyone who has donated. Small and big all donations make a big difference for our prototyping effort. We are now just waiting on coils and cnc to come through which should be a week or so. We finished clearing away all the rubble from the fire and the new shed is now built and sealed ready to start housing REVR! We have had some very productive discussions and vid calls with people looking to help make REVR happen which we may be able to elaborate on in future. We have also entered the Samsung Solve For Tomorrow comp to promote REVR. There is some more good competition news we can't wait to share. Will have some more substantial updates very soon. - Alex

Ahh no please! If I wanted to visit reddit I would have!

Depends on what are you interested in eg if you enjoy genealogy I'd suggest going for Gramps https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps .

Maybe share more info on what you like so we can suggest something you might enjoy?

Depends on what are you interested in and if you prefer a particular programming language eg if you are good in say PHP I'd suggest helping the MantisBT project a bugtracker used by a lot projects. https://github.com/mantisbt. or say Python and enjoy genealogy I'd suggest going for Gramps https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps .

Foveated rendering is a rendering technique which uses an eye tracker integrated with a virtual reality headset to reduce the rendering workload by greatly reducing the image quality in the peripheral vision (outside of the zone gazed by the fovea(The fovea centralis is a small, central pit composed of closely packed cones in the eye. It is located in the center of the macula lutea of the retina.))

Reminds me of another Scifi book called "Light of Other Days" by Bob Shaw in which the story uses the idea of "slow glass": glass through which light takes years to pass.

1. If you were to take apart an outlet and look at the contact wipers that the prongs slide into, you would find that they have bumps on them. These bumps fit into the holes so that the outlet can grip the plug's prongs more firmly. This detenting prevents the plug from slipping out of the socket due to the weight of the plug and cord. It also improves the contact between the plug and the outlet.

2. Electrical devices can be "factory-sealed" or "locked-out" by the manufacturer or owner using a plastic tie or a small padlock that runs through one or both of the prong holes. Construction projects or industrial safety requirements may require this type of sealing. For example, a manufacturer might apply a plastic band through the hole and attach it to a tag that says, "You must do blah blah blah before plugging in this device." The user cannot plug in the device without removing the tag, so the user is sure to see the instructions.

3. There also is a small savings in raw materials (metal) for the manufacturer of the actual plug prong. Every little bit helps!

It has been reported that really old outlets used captive ball bearings and coil springs for the detent, but today it is done with a bump and springy copper contacts.

I wonder why they don't build and sell power to the local market in Australia and then use those funds to build the cable?

I say go for it.

Maybe consider going down the Paper Computer route depending on the audience you are targeting ?

My suggestion for what it's worth is to help the MantisBT project a bugtracker used by a lot projects.

Also happening with RootsWeb Mailing Lists!

Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state. Administrators may save the email addresses in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb. As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account. Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this community.

Sincerely, The RootsWeb team

Fixed my shoulder issue on my desktop PC by adding a second Mouse, so I have one on both sides of my keyboard.

For those into Genealogy, I just thought I'd share that with you.

This version of Gramps switches from BSDDB to SQlite as the default database backend.

Free Free or open source Free?

The main one that is open source is

Improves with every release, but has a learning curve.
