Peter's stuff.
Made this up while doing stuff.
It’s like watching a syphilitic whore perform a vasectomy. They maybe familiar with the area, but even if you thought they were trained to do it, you wouldn’t want them to.
Of course, I didn’t vocalize my thoughts as I’m pretty sure it might hurt some feefees.
The Rephone from Seeed looks dope as. Totally think I’m going to bust my Kickstartr cherry.
More importantly. We live in a city that is starting to fine for failure to compost. I think UV will deter a lot of crawlies, but what can I use for stench destruction? I need to look into this before the Wif garbages us out of townhouse and home.
Dumped the beer. I think it was still good, but, impressions and stuff. I think next time I’ll try WootStout. Maybe for my birthday.
Started breaking down the kat of the printers I have lying around. Totally stoked as I think this one has an unused pump. Totally bummed because it has the screws from hell.
Now for another exciting week of work.
Neat plant in glass things, but.
How to measure actual useful plant growth. The projects I saw measured plant usage and waste. Things like heat, humidity, pH. If you add in the careful measurement of what goes in, you might get a good idea of growth. The only thing is, you don’t even know if it’s good growth. Tomato stems and carrot tops aren’t very filling. So I’m thinking. Water density, density density, colour.
I might not work this weekend, which would man I can work on my stuff this weekend. Going to Seattle Maker Faire tomorrow for inspiration and whatever, before that is finally time I try to get my Enhanced Driver’s License so we can rally up to Canada on a lark.
Sunday though. Sunday is the question. I think it’s time I try to bottle or not my beer. I’ll do a taster, see if it tastes palatable and either pitch or get bottling. If nothing else, it’s starting to look really seedy and needs to go away for aesthetics alone.
Right.
As obvious as the Enterprise is for this… enterprise, hahaha, I think I prefer starting off with the Red Dwarf. Since I’ll be sliding it into a Jack Daniels whiskey bottle, I have a very limited hole size for entry. With that being said, I also want to maximize the incongruity of the ship in the bottle. This is more traditionally achieved by sliding the hull into the bottle as a couple pieces, with all the masts and rigging lying flat with guide strings to pull them up. I do have the pokey wire frame on the one end to work with but it’s not much.
I’m kinda seeing how I’ll do this, but 5 minutes ago I had a totally different vision. I’ll have to think about this harder and do some drawings.
In still wanting to make spaceships in bottles. Like old timey meets the future.
Challenges:
Hand jitters
Fitting electronics and power source to make it blinky
What ship first, Enterprise? Star Destroyer?
Using the Instructable I googled up, using those instructions including a mast and sails to ships with blasters and antenna arrays
Oohh… the Red Dwarf would be dope…
Umph. Tired.
Signed the Wif and myself up for a Sewing Machine Introduction class in early October. Sharpened a knife for the first timein something like 25 years. Actually succeeded at it too. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get some stuff in the recycling out of the Den of Inequity. Start building a cat tree.
You know. Stuff.
I tripped on Reese (aforementioned kitteh) this morning and she quantum leapt like Bakula. This made me think to myself, “self. Cats are really fast.”
On that note I realized that hubs playing Marco Polo as a form of idiots multilateral positioning was bad. In half a second, a cat could be in a different room. I do like the “everyone holla” method to map the world, but the collar itself needs to be just another choice in the wild.
Research continues.
So there’s a couple issues:
Stuff in house moves (people and/or furniture)
Multiple rooms
Three stories
Price
This makes me think:
Set of beacons within rx/tx range of each other
At whatever internal, or manually triggered, they play telephone
This gives updated metrics of the house as it is right now
Collar receives and measures strength, burst transmits this data
Kinetic charging?
