A place to noodle...
Worked on setting up the Raspberry Pi with Tailscale and the CLI tool on the project I am working on at the moment. The box itself wouldn't power on, so I powered the Pi separately to work on the software.#
Going to be a busy day!#
Working today with a new piece of equipment that was delivered to me yesterday afternoon.#
A strong thunderstorm and cold front rolled through last evening, and it looks like the 90s won't be around this week after all! 😊#
Another hot week coming up! ☀️️#
Just got back from Maryland after having a wonderful time at my granddaughter's birthday celebration! 😊#
Headed down to Maryland for my granddaughter's birthday celebration! 🥳#
After the Big Ugly Bill was passed yesterday afternoon, the 4th of July celebrations today don't quite feel the same as in the past.#
Still dealing with my nephew's death. Very sad.#
Sad night last night. My nephew passed away suddenly. He was only 36.#
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! 🐰#
I have to take the car in for an oil change and tire rotation this afternoon. I tried to do it a couple of weeks ago as a drop-in at my regular place, but they were backed up, so the first available appointment was this afternoon.#
I ended up getting the blind I needed for my office at Ikea and the shelving unit at Walmart. Got everything built and installed last evening, and now I need to do some reorganizing over the next few days. 😊#
Going to do some running around, looking for shelving and blinds for my office. Ikea, here I come! 😃#
Have a meeting in the morning, then some afternoon running around.#
Meeting today with the people I am involved with in this stealth project. We're going to take a look at some space for a lab that is actually in the building we all used to work in 5 years ago. 😃#
Didn't accomplish all I had hoped yesterday, so I will pick up where I left off, working on the stealth project I'm involved with.#
Started working with FastAPI to build an API skeleton for the project I am working on. I have Tailscale working correctly, so I will be inviting a colleague to test the secure connection from his Mac.#
Another incredibly hot day in store for us! Luckily, I'll be working in my office on a stealth project, enjoying the A/C! 😊#
The wedding was fun, but really hot! And today we have started an Extreme Heat Warning for the next 3 days, with the temperatures in the mid to upper 90s! 🥵#
We're attending the wedding of the son of a good friend of ours this afternoon. It's an outdoor wedding, and the temperature is going to be pushing 90! Going to be a hot one! 🥵#
Yesterday I was able to spend some time setting up a new Raspberry Pi 5 for a project I am involved in that will actually be using the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, which I don't have in my possession yet. The Pi I set up yesterday will let me get started with prototyping the software.#
A lot of running around on the schedule today, including finding a dress shirt to match my wife's dress for a wedding we are attending Saturday. 😃#
Yesterday ended up being crazy helping my daughter with her business and new website. It's been a crazy 10 days since the site was launched! 😃#
Hopefully building out my Raspberry Pi lab in my office today! I've been tied up with the launching of my daughter's new web site zenspiredesigns.com but it seems to be running smoothly now. 😊#
Had a wonderful Father's Day! 😊#
