    <content type="html">I find myself, like many of us, sitting at my desk a lot. I sit there for work. I sit there again for the &lt;em&gt;many&lt;/em&gt; video and/or voice socials that have been set up. I sit there to play games or watch films. I even clear off the computer stuff and sit there to solder and work on projects. I am, in fact, sitting there now as I write this. So basically, I sit there a lot. And it got so that I found it difficult to know what time it was, whether early or late, start of the day, or end. I know, I thought, possibly aloud, no-one will ever know, I need a clock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I didn't want to go buying lots of unnecessary things, or wait until my usual suppliers were back in full swing. So I dug around in the piles of boxes that comprise my electronics stash. Back at &lt;a href="https://chebe.dreamwidth.org/77590.html"&gt;GaelHack&lt;/a&gt; (seven years ago) I started on a clock, but it never left the breadboard. I dusted that off, and found most of what else I needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://chebe.dreamwidth.org/119558.html#cutid1"&gt;Making it all fit together&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the purpose of the device, and age of most of the components, I had half a mind to refer to this as a Time Capsule, but Time Cuboid seems more self-explanatory.&lt;br /&gt;Overall it looks something like this;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="image" style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lostaurora.net/gallery/galleries/blog2020/20200426_timeCuboid_15_timeCuboid.JPG"&gt;&lt;img width="648" alt="" src="https://lostaurora.net/gallery/galleries/blog2020/20200426_timeCuboid_15_timeCuboid.JPG" height="486" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time Cuboid, on&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Photo by &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://chebe.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://chebe.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;chebe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chebe&amp;ditemid=119558" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
