October 2024: The Amaze Balls Edition

Hello and welcome to another Burf Update, I hope everyone is having an amazing time, if you’re not, and I can help, do ping me!

Amaze Balls
So oddly enough I have met a new partner and it has been completely magical! Yup, I used the word magical! I am honestly blown away by how well we get on and am super hopeful for the future!

Burf.co
As of the 16th of October, Burf.co has had 2,358,929 searches. I need to properly analyse it and see what I can do to make this a useful service.

Inmoov Robot
Not much has happened on this over the last month however I am in a much better head space and am already planning what to do!

Camper Van
This is all set up to go camping next week with my new partner. I would like to use it more and make some improvements however, we are now coming into winter so will be used less.

Electric Motorbike
Parked for the moment as I now have a new motorbike (ER5) which I have been using while the Harley engine rebuild happens (2 months and counting). I did test the new bracket etc but I need to do more work.

Tinkercad
One thing I forgot to mention is that I have done a lot of work in Tinkercad recently and enjoyed it. I have even started helping out friends by re-designing and printing broken pieces for them. I see this as a bit of a game-changer

Rover Robot / ROS2
I have restarted this and making some progress, this should be my main focus for the end of the year.

A5 Laser Engraver
Still using it with LightBurn which I like

Goals for the end of the year
I need to keep focus on my goals for the end of the year, as it isn’t that far away now. Due to life changes, I have refined the list a little.

  • Stay around 80-82KG (Life)
  • Camp at least 1 more time this year in the VW (Life)
  • Finish the YouTube robotics series of videos (Robotics / Education)
  • Get the remote wheelchair working (Robotics)
  • Stay on top of being a governor (Life)
  • Re-start the maths learning (Education)

I have canceled the mental health course as it was not a good fit for me. I have paused the robotics video for my MBA due to life changes however I do still plan to do it. I am trying to take a much more positive life focus 🙂
