So I thought of a use for my Raspberry Pi. I'm going to try and make a sunrise simulator with red, orange and yellow LED's for my very dark room.
Nvidia has released Pascal drivers for OSX? Awesome! I recently thought about buying an SSD to run OSX on my desktop PC as a hackintosh until I found out my 1060 had no drivers. This is great news.
Hmm, Kodi wants to bring DRM to the platform. Yes, DRM bad and all that, but if I can use Netflix within Kodi, I will be extremely happy.
Every few weeks you think "I should really cut down on caffeine". Today, I made it to 9:30 before I gave up and got a coffee.
Becoming increasingly frustrated with a co-worker that sends screen shots of text. How the hell is a search going to pick up those words?
Working on some Python to parse point of sale transaction data from an SQL database to recalculate GST tax amounts on sales where it was set to 0%, across multiple tables. My brain hurts.
I'll probably go home and play Paladins all night. I really should just buy Overwatch and be done with it.
I'm exhausted just thinking about making the decision of what to have for lunch.
My last attempt at making my Raspberry Pi 2 usefull was a Python script that automatically backed up any cards inserted in to the USB card reader attached. I wanted an automated, headless card backup device as a first step before importing in to Lightroom.
So far my Raspberry Pi 2 has been a web server, a htpc, an emulation box and a media server. I would love it to be a media server, but since the Ethernet is on the USB bus, it shares bandwidth with the external drive, making transfers slower than I'd like.
One day I'll find a use for my Raspberry Pi 2. Or I'll just buy a 3, and still have no use for either.
Also, he guy's accent is amazing.
I've been watching a series of youtube videos where a guy digs in and figures out how the old password game save systems of NES games work by disassembling the ROMS. It's fascinating.
Anyone else out there struggling with antidepressants suppressing your creativity and motivation?
I should probably pick up that Python books Humble Bundle.
Hands up everyone that has an Ello account they never look at.
There should be a food place you can go when you don't know what you want, but you just need food. I want to walk up to the counter and order "1 food please" and just take whatever they have.
How many people have jumped in just to claim their username just in case Mastodon becomes super popular?
Another place to upload photos :)
