Now that I am out of the house I see that the code boxes need a fix. Will take care of this tonight.

I might be missing the point as this only aims at the title but I still own a 5 1/4" floppy disk with the first software I ever wrote as a child. It was a disk label printer software written in BASIC on a C64 and has a label on it printed on a Star LC-10 C. The silly main feature was some sprites flying through the title screen.

This software has a soul - at least by my definition.

Nice! I made my first LEO sat contact also in the garden with an arrow yagi and a cheap HT. It was fun but I prefer operating the easy way and building a nice station. Some neighbours watched me making this first contact and they now speak to me differently...

If you are interested in amateur radio in general, you might enjoy reading my "Declaration of Love to Amateur Radio": https://rz01.org/a-declaration-of-love-to-amateur-radio/

Last October, I had the honor of making such contact with the ISS. I posted about this on my website here: https://rz01.org/na1ss/

The ISS has radios on board that allow amateur radio operators to send and receive APRS messages, talk to other hams via their built-in FM repeater or to receive SSTV images. They also have amateur TV stuff on board but I have not explored this yet. Crew members with an amateur radio license can pick up the mic of the radio that acts as a FM repeater to make contacts with other hams on the earth.

You can contact the ISS via a handheld setup (FM radio and a yagi antenna in your hand) or with a stationary setup like mine: https://rz01.org/leo-sat-ground-station-v3/

The best free and mainstream option would be duckduckgo at the moment in my opinion.

I am also very happy with Kagi's search result and suspect that someone is just trolling.

I don't take long-term notes at all, only quick notes on paper of thing I need to do. I tried to collect all thoughts, notes etc. but I would never read them again. Most of it would be outdated anyways. So I understand that these kind of notes might feel like ballast and might be a reason to not be able to close with things.

Everything that is worth keeping is on my website as properliy written posts which I enjoy to re-read from time to time. You could also look at it this way: anything that doesn't make it onto the website - i.e. is published - isn't worth saving either.
