I am building the world…
…that I want live in. Not waiting for the future…
DIY Water gauge
This a project is for a friend was concerned about how much water was in her cistern. I decided to use a rangefinder to measure the water level and then email this value. I also 3D printed a case for the Raspberry Pi.
This is currently a work in progress.

Tech Support in the Caribbean
Ohhh you think the warranty is your ally….
You merely purchased a support contract…..
I trained to resist calling tech support… was molded by it…
I didn’t get a tier-3 tech until the recognized I wasn’t in Latin American region…..
And by then I was l33t !!!
The manufacturers betray you, because the technology belongs to me !!!
Why the future is already here….
…just not distributed enough…
My feed is always an exercise in diversity….
3d printer work -update
Working on my Reprap and learning quite a bit. So much to do but it will be worth it.
Todo:

A great interview with Jeremy Rifkin
Daemon
In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ˈdiːmən/ or /ˈdeɪmən/)[1] is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user.
