It warms my heart to see the 303 getting a renaissance
I love seeing so many brilliant creatives throwing their talents at the 303 - hardware hackers, software writers, etc.

I built one for 303 Day! https://tnn1t1s.github.io/day-303/303.html ... comparing notes.
this is awesome, thank you for sharing!
In none of their statements do they say they won't do the things:
> we cannot in good conscience accede to their request.
That's very specifically worded to not say "under no circumstances will we do this".
> Two such use cases have never been included in our contracts with the Department of War, and we believe they should not be included now
Is not saying they won't eventually be included.
They've left themselves a backtrack, and with the care there this statement has been crafted, that's surely deliberate.

What's worse, someone in their PR department will read this thread and be disappointed that the spin didn't work.

I've used many of these small Linux distros. I used to have Tiny Core in a VM for different things.
I also like SliTaz: http://slitaz.org/en, and Slax too: https://www.slax.org/
Oh and puppy Linux, which I could never get into but was good for live CDs: https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/
And there's also Alpine too.
> I also like SliTaz
thank you for this reminder! I had completely forgotten about SliTaz, looks like I need to check it out again!

I would give anything to have a linux window manager that looks and behaves just like this. I said this to my coworkers in slack and they said that my age is showing, which is probably true. everything on this website is so easy to find, it just feels good. icons and color scheme is perfect as well.

Bring back blosxom: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blosxom
Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about Blosxom!
I take it from your post that it is no more?

This looks great!
I have a very minor feature request: MIDI loops! Add a button on top of the device: Press once to record, press again to stop. Quantize on/off available via the app.
Awesome stuff!!!
I know this is a minor gripe, but something isn't right with the https version of this site.
DX'ing and contesting. I enjoy making quick contacts with people all over the globe, and sometimes having to go to a map to find out where they are.
Contesting is also fun. There are a variety of modes. I got into RTTY contests lately. It's a bit of a thrill to work through a bunch of callers or to snag a rare multiplier.
I should also mention Parks on the Air. I like going to parks and within a few minutes have people calling me. Or to hunt for other people in parks. Almost like a contest and DXpedition rolled into one.

> DX'ing and contesting
apologies, I'm ignorant when it comes to HAM but have always been interested in it: what does DX'ing and contesting mean? I'm assuming DX = talking to other HAMs, but I can't figure out what contesting would be.
