Friday, December 27th, 2019A good Friday. (27th) Exercised first thing. As I was off today, I got to attend Friday Pokemon Go Trade Days at our local BBQ joint. After lunch, we ran some errands, and played a little bit of Pokémon Go while we were out. Finally was able to buy the replacement faucet for the back […]
Work, Miyazaki, Exercise, Cleaning
Wednesday, November 27th, 2019A good Wednesday. (27th) Regular work day for me. Hoping it will be quiet, since I have PTO the rest of the week. Watched a great video on Hayao Miyazaki’s films. 12m17s. Exercised after work, since I didn’t get up early enough to do it before. Worked with Jill on cleaning the house more, really worked […]
Excercise, Home Improvement, Shopping, Lost Ember
Sunday, November 24th, 2019A good Sunday. (24th) Slept in a bit this morning. Got up and exercised first thing, though. Swapped/reversed the dryer door, so that it points the correct way for our laundry room. Now it opens on the washer side. That will make life easier, and only took about 10 minutes. Biscuits and gravy for lunch. […]
Exercise, BBQ, Robotics, Martial Arts, Dryer
Tuesday, November 19th, 2019A productive Tuesday. (19th) Got up kind of late, but exercised first thing. Lunch, then Robotics. The kids decided to skip Wonder League today, due to the fact that we have a Vex competition coming up soon, and they need more time building on their robots. Martial arts for our younger son. Once we got […]
Re-arranged the Game Room
Sunday, September 29th, 2019A good Sunday. (29th) Re-arranged a bunch of stuff in the Game Room today. Moved a couple of consoles that use only wired controllers to the TV stand that’s under our wall hanging TV, so they are closer to the center of the room. That also gave me space on the electronics tower to bring […]
TV, Goats, DCU
Sunday, September 8th, 2019A good Sunday. (8th) Our family friend helped us get the guest room TV mounted on the wall. We bought it from my parents when they moved to AZ last year, but hadn’t hung it up yet. Now it’s done. Then he packed up and headed out. He’ll be back sometime next year, we think. Our […]
Home Automation with HomeBridge
Monday, March 14th, 2016I found a cool project called Homebridge; it lets you bridge Apple’s HomeKit (and therefor Siri) to home automation items that aren’t natively HomeKit compatible. tl;dr I have my WeMo lights and my Craftsman AssureLink garage door opener added to my HomeKit configuration, along with my HomeKit native Ecobee 3 (which is not actually discussed […]
Gigabit
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008I finished upgrading my home network to Gigabit today. I installed the final switch behind my entertainment center (if you can call it that — it’s more of a TV Stand / Audio Rack now).
