QR Blog

I finally have a normal reading from thermistor. I'm going to let my dad take a look at the electonic schematics. I suck at these schematics, learning quickly though. The LDR on the other hand was brease to connect. So now I have a led, which turns brighter when it goes darker. To allow for the dimming of a led you use Pulse Whith Modulation. For a good explanation on PWM, follow this link: http://www.pretzellogix.com/2011/03/10/exploring-the-netduino-4-make-leds-really-glow-or-fun-with-pwm/ It's been a good Netduino night ;)

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.

I just acquired an iPad 2. I must admit, I absolutely love the device. The screen is excellent, it's sleek and sexy and there is a broad selection of apps available.

What I don't like is the lack of a back-button. For the life of me I can not figure out why they didn't include one. The addition of one would create an even more consistent user experience.

My final concern is the app store. The search options just doesn't cut it.

Apple should really look at Android, because these items are well thought through by Google.

But even with these two shortcomings I still love my iPad ( flipboard ftw )

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!! http://www.snagfilms.com/films/watch/macheads/?utm_source=snagfilms.com&utm_medium=referral

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!

Starting rebuilding a twitter plugin so that it shows my federal on this page as small qr code images. I haven't punished my qr plugin yet. I wonder if anybody else would want to use it?

This is the first post published from my phone. This wil make it easier for me to post regularly. In case you are wondering, I am using WordPress for Android. My phone is a SonyEricsson X10HD.
