I'm back - Thingiverse
In December I started to think about to continue my things, first in 3D printing, but not too much happened (I'll write about it later).
A few years ago when I involved myself in the 3D printing also registered an account on Thingiverse.
I published there a few things: https://www.thingiverse.com/suf/designs
After a while (not really remember exactly when) Thingiverse accused me with a copyright fraud and disabled my account. To understand, all of the designs I published designed by myself and not connected to any copyright protected thing, so I still don't understand why.
I took several attempts to recover my account - unsuccessfully, then I gave up.
Yesterday I got two notifications that somebody commented one of my designs and remixed it. It was interesting as I didn't se such in the last years.
Just tired to login. And miraculously it let me in.
I don't know what happened but I'm happy on it anyways. I just guess it has some connection with the recent events described here: https://3dprintingcenter.net/ultimaker-announces-a-major-update-to-the-thingiverse-platform/
Anyways, I'm happy with it. I feel that an indication to come back in many ways.

Photography
There is some (re)addition to my hobbies.
A few years ago (mainly at the film based era), I was seriously involved in the amateur photography. Went nowhere without an SLR camera. A few years ago, this swept away a bit. There are many reason behind it. I guess the main reason was the better and better cameras in the smart phones.
Anyway, I was never completely satisfied with the performance of it. It was good for documenting my electronics projects but... It was good for my daily needs but...
Then the COVID came. It bring with it a closing down the things. Working in IT with cloud technologies bring almost zero need to go to into an office. My main hobby (still will be) electronics is connected to my lab, what is a closed space. Actually days passed by without going out to the street.
It looks like two and a half year was the limit to me to be able to tolerate this kind of lifestyle. Enough.
So a few weeks ago, I took out my photo equipment from the locker and started to use it. With it, go out to the city, to countryside, just for taking pictures. I love this feeling.
I also plan to move from phone to this equipment also for other photo/video related activities. For this plan, I started to upgrade my set a bit. It doesn't mean buying new equipment. Much more started to collect 2nd hand tools. Added an FX camera (Nikon D610) to be able to utilize the lenses from my film era. Added macro lenses for my object photography goals.
The current set:
My new photography journey starts here.
