watching the latest Deviant Ollam talk, they mentioned wondering if you can just trigger carbon monoxide sensors with some chemistry.

Turns out you can just buy tester canisters! They're just spray cans of Carbon Monoxide! That sounds... somewhat dangerous.

@foone i love that CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE gets a front label warning but the fact that it's CO is presumably on the back with the other warnings

Properly photographing a 3.5" floppy disk for archival is annoyingly complicated. The label has THREE sides!

I've already built an automated system to take a picture of the front of a disk, but really I need to take THREE photos if I want to get the whole thing.

That means either three cameras or I need to rotate the disk 90° and then 180°, which is going to really stress the limits of my mechanical engineering skills.

@foone there might be an easy way to do this with some mirrors

@foone it would take work to make a tool that could un-distort the pictures, but you could have like, a toaster-like holder with cutouts for the label, put disk in door-down

mirrors on the sides, flat on the table

and then in some fixed setup, take two pictures, one at each known focal distance (mirrors, labels), and then have the computer stitch them together into one long label with your custom tool (one may exist without much tweaking i dont know the space)

the world needs more recreational programming.
like, was this the most optimal or elegant way to code this?

no, but it was the most fun to write.
