2023-09-03 - Simple Site Generator
It’s been a while since I last posted. I have been busy working on my weatherstation. I’ll need to write about that soon, but for now I want to talk about the state of my capsule.
2023-06-26 - Installing Ethernet
My house used to be connected to Comcast before we switched over to a local fiber ISP. This switch has happened years ago and the house was outfitted with coax back in the Comcast days. Of course now, there is no use for Coax.
2023-06-24 - Communicating with my weatherstation
In my original plan for my weatherstation, I would wirelessly send weatherdata to a ground station. I have given up on this idea primarily because managing a rechargeable battery would introduce too many variables. Now, I have decided to have a cable that connects between the ground station and the sensors.
2023-04-30 - My weather vane is now better than new
Yesterday, I wrote about how I broke and repaird my weather-vane After it got repaired, I was able to get the sensor working in software. Everything worked, but there was one thing odd about the sensor.
2023-04-29 - Whoops, I broke my weather vane
I am working on my weatherstation project now, and I’m going to finish it for real! Yesterday I was opening up the weather-vane to reverse-engineer the board it has and make sure what I already know is correct.
2023-04-16 - Planning PWS Hardware
It has been a dream of mine to create my own personal weather station (PWS). I’ve been working on this project for over 6 years now. Due to school and scope creep: I have not been able to complete this project.
2023-02-26 - Organizing My Life
I have always been bad at organizing my life. It can be hard for me to know what to do and when to do it. This is a particularly big problem for me because of executive disfunction.
2023-02-14 - How I deploy to my server
I don’t run this capsule on a server that I physically own. I rent out my server from digitalocean. Since my server doesn’t need to have lots of computing power or memory, I have opted to use the cheapest server possible that pennies can buy.
I have been getting fairly ambitious with ideas for my capsule. This is dangerous with me being in the middle of a heavy semester, so I am going to write down my plans and implement them later.
I just finished the third project for my security class. This project has been simultaneously the most difficult and most easy lab that I have done. I wanted to describe my experience of the lab here.
I find it funny that I chose to start a gemlog right as school started. I was fully expecting to be able to put out more content than I have so far, but that’s ok. School should probably have a higher priority than my hobbies.
2023-01-06 - Trying out my own gemlog
I am by no means a writer. I may have grown up a native english speaker, but my words don’t reflect that. I have always gotten a C or worse in my english classes, and writing essays has always been an arduous task for me.
