In the song Missionary Man, Annie Lennox sings Well, I was born an original sinner I was born from original sin And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin, hey! How much money is that? According to Celebheights.com, she is 172.7cm tall. According to Wikipedia a dollar bill (I’ll assume she meant US dollars) is 0.
You may have seen this story last week. Well that was about me and 999 other people and come April 5th I will officially be one of Thatcher’s Threee Million. I’m 55 and I can’t face the bullshit of interviews so it’s probably game over. I’m good at what I did (Engineering Manager) but I have zero enthusiasm to explain that several times over and get quizzed on my mental recall of random trivia of HTTP verbs for things that in real life are abstracted away or found with a quick DDG.
What you see there is the first time I have successfully connected a web browser running on Android to a Speeduino ECU via a direct USB connection. The read rate is poor as it was a very old Motorola that is normally my Squeezebox controller, but it was to hand and had a USB-C socket on it. I have got over 60Hz on a desktop browser. This has been a major chunk to get working and is vital for the plans I have for VE Tuner.
I’m having so much fun with this! The main thing of note is that I’ve ditched echarts for custom implementations of guages, line charts, heatmaps, and 3D surfaces. This has cut about 70% of the bundle size. -rw-rw-r-- 1 dgs dgs 2889 Feb 1 08:24 favicon.cddaee99.svg -rw-rw-r-- 1 dgs dgs 27699 Feb 1 08:24 index.html -rw-rw-r-- 1 dgs dgs 409 Feb 1 08:24 manifest.webmanifest -rw-rw-r-- 1 dgs dgs 32941 Feb 1 08:24 public.
I was given some Squeezebox hardware by someone at work. It works really well, aprat from the Duet remotes. They’re hard to see, and lose connection to the network too easily. I was despondent about this, as the Squeezebox kit and software is really good, but not being able to reliably control it was a PITA. I could use the web interface, but my work laptop can’t connect to my LAN for reasons.
