Comparing Depth Of Color In Esc Keys

2026-08-09T20:28:27Z

Running some test prints on keycaps using some different fonts, the group on the left(top) was done first with .4mm depth and the right(bottom) was done with a 2mm depth, the colors came out much more vibrant without the black blending in.

Mid Print On A New Set Of Caps

The ledends were cut quite a bit deeper in this set I think the color is going to come out much more vibrant

This first set of caps printed for real off my new https://caps.waylonwalker.com app came out really well, I can tell the legend cut is not deep enough and the two colors are mixing too much. I’m actually surprised at how much I like the thinner sets better than the thicker sets, I thought thicker would have done better prints.

No raft straight on the bed with a .4mm sink into the plate stuck really well, none fell off mid print. I’ve strugged to get grids of caps to print well in the past.

Damn this hits. I’m trying to change it up, but I’m far on the right. constantly greasing the pipeline and writing about it. or lately just not writing at all.

It Kept Printing Sideways

After a particularly tall print vibrations had moved my ams under the gantry of my bambu a1 so when it started its next print, it lifted it up, its safe, no printer was harmed, but this was a close call.

This was the biggest routing job I’ve done yet on the bosch colt, it really worked the motor. I ended up feeling like high speed was controlling its speed better and keeping it cooler, contrary to what I would think was right.

I updated plaindown to support cool heading formats, and I’m digging it, markata you are next. Time to make the web weird again and really start writing more again.

The code to make it easy ^fun^ to write #

Here’s the markdown that wrote it followed by the output here.

# Build **good places** for _interesting people_.

## Make room for ==the weird idea.==

Some normal paragraph text between headings.

## Build a `personal web` that feels ^**yours**^.

More ordinary prose.

## Follow the [~small~ web](https://waylonwalker.com), not the cr^owd^.

## Make a ~~perfect~~ memorable site.

## Leave space for ==**strange little ideas.**==

## Sometimes the ~~obvious answer~~ ==weird answer== is the interesting one.

## A **good theme** makes _quiet words_, `technical words`, and ==loud words== belong together.

## ==A highlighted phrase can be long enough to wrap onto another line and test the highlight background.==

## Make a [**~small~ corner of the web**](https://waylonwalker.com) that feels _like yours._

## Chemistry should still work: H~2~**O** and x^2^

## Keyboard syntax should still work: ++Ctrl+C++

I really like the art style of this game. Love that someone is making something Hollow Knight like in their own style. The bosses though… oddly a little close to hollow knight characters.

Interesting tangent here on sleep, Adam talks about jet lag and his experience taking abien to shift his sleep schedule. In his experience it helped fix the sleep schedule, but did nothing to change how he actually felt during that time of re orienting in a new drastically different time zone. He was reminded of all of the sleep studies they did on mythbusters and how they found that it did not matter so much how much “sleep” you got that lying there still and quiet was nearly as effective as sleeping. Knowing this will, like others mentioned, will greatly relieve the sleep pressure I feel on nights of restlessness.

Helix has got to have one of the easiest configurations. It is this easy to get the markata-go lsp in helix.

markata-go lsp setup --editor helix
# Helix languages.toml (usually ~/.config/helix/languages.toml)
[language-server.markata-go]
command = "markata-go"
args = ["lsp"]

[[language]]
name = "markdown"
language-servers = ["markata-go"]

I had no idea how these pipes work, I’ve accidentally spawned so many that have sat there and waited for something to come down the pipe, but did not know this is what was happening.

Every Dax Raad interview is worth a listen, this one does not disappoint. They talk about running local dev setups in a vm in the cloud. Always connected, seemlessly upgrading hardware without you needing to buy sell or trade a thing. They talk about the one model that drove them into psycosis, I’m pretty sure it was 5.6 sol, but it could not be revealed at the time. Software engineering is still required alive and well even through the agentic era here.
