Yes, another platform, another project. My Raspberry Pi has been floating around for a couple, three months now. I have been playing around with it, futzing with the OS installing and uninstalling things, all while trying to find a home for it. At first I thought I would use it with Domtiz and monitor various […]
This morning we went out with the Boy and Girl Scouts to the Dayton Veterans Administration park this morning to place flags on those gravestone at the Dayton VA cemetery. It is wonderful to see so many patriotic people coming out to remember those who have given their lives to see that our Freedoms stay […]
In light of my issues with my real NeXT hardware, I decided to try and get NeXTStep installed on a VM. We use Parallels for the Mac OS X platform here at work, so that is where I started. I was able to find some useful information over at the nextcomputer.org site. It was a […]
I have decided to make a clock; a simple one to begin with. I started with an ESP-01, an OLED, and some base code. It was fairly easy but did the job quite well. It would go out and fetch the time from a NTP (Network Time Protocol) server and display it on an OLED screen 128×64. […]

About a week ago an idea stuck in my head of what to do with some of the spare Jimmy wood I had laying around. Jimmy is a brother of mine who works at a manufacturing shop here in town. The wood he gets comes from the tops of the crates which they receive their […]
I recently downloaded MarsEdit so that I can edit this blog off-line. I think I have things setup correctly, so here is the “Hello World” for MarsEdit. I think it only right if I test out if the text will make it across the ether, I should make sure it will upload some media […]
A quick post. While I am working on a new post from a project, I have spent the past couple of days doing some administrative work on the site. While I have had it up and running for a spell, it needed some of that tender, loving care to get pages, post, and the such […]
Since entering the wonderful world of electronics, I have had an itch to make an audio amp. Probably one reason is that I am sans a real audio system right now and I am digging the hardware aspect of the hacking more than the software. I started reading and wow there is a lot out […]
