What Are You Doing Right Now

My sister in law's brand new, crazy expensive Ford Explorer than she drove from Texas to NY shit the bed on the drive from NYC to Utica last night. She just got called from the deal and the parts are nationally back ordered... two weeks to two months estimate on when they can fix her brand new, under warranty car with only like 3K miles.

No wonder the Explorer is the worst ranked car in America by reliability. damn.

My Android TV plays KOTOR beautifully thus far.

Just tried my Z3, works. But not on my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1...

So it's Germany vs. the Targaryens?

Just got a temp/humidity and door sensors working on a Pi, tomorrow I get to decide how often I want to log temps, what temps to send a text/email to myself, how often to check temp/humidity and all that good stuff that needs dumped into a script.

I would rather go to some motivational seminar and walk over glowing coals before I would watch ~~football~~ soccer.

I always referred to all sports as "sportsball"

Recently it actually became a thing and now I am lost.

Only watching to support the boys but they lost oh well.

FrankenSwitch will get a display tomorrow Just need to order a longer FPC (flat ribbon) cable

I'm not yet sure if it will be the official 7" Raspberry Pi display or a 7" from Lemaker and a Banana Pro I have spare. Problem with the Lemaker: no touch controller

Nice. More pictures of FrankenSwitch as well I hope!

Here's my little project. All I really wanted was a temp monitor for one of the rooms. Total out of pocket cost on the hardware for this was like $40. Should I want more of the same sort of thing it'll be easy to copy the code

Also, my little adventure in C coding for the day:

tech@tempdoor-rpi ~/source $ tmphmd.out
 temperature = 24.0 degC 75.3 degF
    humidity = 41.7%

Hehe. Despite having a C and even some Assembler background, I really like to use C# today, even on the Pi with mono. Such a great language, very comparable to Java without all the BS.

Take a look at these sensors I am using: https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00EU71QWK/ref=pd_aw_sim_60_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41E662BaZEL&dpSrc=sims&preST=AC_UL100_SR100%2C100&psc=1&refRID=NPY8AEDW0YKRXAJV86AT

Dallas 1wire, very cheap, great quality, extremely easy to use.

Yep, I like 1wire stuff as well. I've just been spoiled by Adafruit having example code for everything they do. Makes getting the little bits working so much quicker and easier. All I really have to do is figure out the custom scripts I want (yes, I'm lazy, lol )
