What MADE your day today?

[RopeFiend]

Finally got the dust sensor / Air Quality Indicator (AQI) up, fleshed-out and mostly running as of an hour ago.  It's happily logging my indoor conditions to a web server.

edit, nextt day: Although frustrating at times, weeding out the bugs in someone else's code is occasionally fun.   I think I just found the last bug.  HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

The only gotcha: fuckin' China!  The dust sensor is exactly what I'd ordered, so I lucked out.  The Bosch combination temperature / humidity / air pressure sensors I'd ordered weren't what was described.  I ordered the more expensive version with humidity sensing, and got the cheaper modules WITHOUT the humidity sensing, so indoor humidity is showing 0% on the charts.  I complained to eBay and got the charges reversed on the sale, and don't even have to send the boards back.  Hell, return shipping would cost more than the damned things are worth in the first place.  I have another order inbound from a different vendor in China, and they swear that the modules have the specific Bosch sensor that I want.  I'll know if this next batch of boards is OK in a couple of weeks.

Amusing side-note: it takes my 3M 'Advanced Allergen' Filtrete 1500 air filter > 60 minutes to remove the majority of smoke particles from the air after I've lit up a cigarette.  I run the blower fan on the air handler all the time when I'm at home, and let it cycle when I'm gone.  I can see dust/particle spikes from this evening every time I lit up a cig.    My house air got down to the equivalent of a class 10,000 cleanroom overnight until I got up and started moving around (throwing off dead skin cells, stirring up dust, and smoking...)

One meeting cancelled.   I'm freed up until 11am.   But it's rescheduled for Wednesday.

Now, if they just cancel the rest of them, and let you go home...

Little brother: Why does Kimmy have to be so pretty and related to me?

 

You can not have my daughter.

"Why does Kimmy have to be so pretty and related to me?"

Neither of those things are a bad thing, but I'm getting a pretty creepy vibe from that.

Out of context, I don't know any of those people, I barely even know you, but when I hear something like that?  It doesn't make my day.

I'm not judging with you, and I'm not going to argue with you about your feelings.

My brother has always had a crush on my daughter. They're almost the same age.

He's well aware she's off limits.

[psiberzerker]

They're almost the same age.

Okay, and I assume that age is above a certain threshold, but still.  That kinda thing (An uncle bemoaning the fact that his niece is too hot, to his sister/her mother) creeps me out.  I guess it's good material for another horror story nobody else reads as horror, so there's that?

Don't worry, I change EVERYTHING so it's unrecognizable.  Hopefully he doesn't talk to her about it, like that.  It would be even creepier if he did.

Yesterday my kids freaked out when I brought home school supplies.

Last night, sitting in bed with my computer, and I get an email from a friend from 25 years ago.   Haven't seen or heard from him in all that time.

I got involved in planning a high school reunion recently.  I’m hearing from so many people I haven’t spoken with in ages.  Also sad to learn that at least four of my classmates are dead.  I don’t consider us to be that old.  Middle aged?  Yes.  Dying age?  No.

[IdleBoast]

Depends how they died - I just found out I chap I vaguely knew died in a paragliding accident.

[_priapism]

Hitting 5,000 for the third or fourth time.

I have posted here over 20,000 times, been logged in for more than a year’s time, have received more woo’s than anyone except Miss B.

So here we go again.  LOL.  And I made my own emoji.

I have to admit, that's one of the ways I'd love to go.  Beats popping a vessicle behind a desk at the office.

Winning a big one in Federal court, in my ongoing life or death struggle with the Millennial skid mark lawyer from Hell.
