Highs and lows

 Hip Jiggerty Jig! First sale!

First of many! Well, a sale is enough for now.

Burn-in completed on the new system. Horrah!

Edit: It's 8 p.m. as I write this blog article. Clearly, the machine didn't clear quality control. Maybe there was a snag, or maybe they're just swamped. They could have had a big backlog of RTX 5090 orders to get through. Either way, this will be done on Monday unless they need to exchange a component and are forced to retest.

Hitting that wall

It's happened again. The prospect of selling stuff makes me really critical about the quality of my work. This scout ship is all done. It looks okay. However, it's half a decade old and has lousy mesh issues. I did some nipping and tucking, possibly making things worse.

The hull plates are a mess. There are rough mesh elements. All the bad things.
