My dad had a question about QR codes. This post is to demo my WP plugin. Nothing important to read here ;)

I received my Netduino kit this weekend. It is a lot of fun. It's dead easy to connect, just install the SDK, plug it into the USB port and you'r off.
What was a lot more difficult though, atleast for me, is make the electronic circuits. It's been ages since I've read these kind of schematics. I want to measure temperature and humidity in my house and send it to Pachube. I've been having some problems with water leaking into my houes. This way I can measure the humidty and see if I have fixed the problems adequatly. I was finally able to complete the circuit for my thermistor. It gives me a reading, but converting it into Kelvin is impossible for the moment. I don't have the proper Steinhart constants for my thermistor.
ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH just spent my entire evening figuring out why XBMC Live couldn't show 1 minute of video without buffering. Turned out I need to disable IPV6.
In case you have the same problem and want to know how I solved it, read on ;).
Open up a shell on the XBMC Live box.
# sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf
Add the following line to the end of the file:
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
Now reboot! (# sudo reboot -r now)
My god, there are some real idiots out there. Come on guys, Mac is a company, all it want's to do is make money. Nothing else!!

The weather should be pretty good tomorrow, so time for a good round of golf. I am also working on a concept website, it's a social golf site. the idea is that you can save your rounds of golf on a website. It calculates scores and shows what your last rounds were. It would be nice if you could also arange a round form the website with a buddy. I'll post a feature list here!
