Here's my #introduction.
I'm James, I'm from Yorkshire and am owned by two cats.
#programming is my main thing, mostly low level and #retro #computer programming. I have a website and a #Youtube channel where I gather together my nerdy pastimes.
Content here will mostly be about nerdy stuff, with zero politics or other annoying rubbish.
Oh that's very disappointing. Download and watch it on your desktop.
Or better still, upload it to your favourite discord server and watch...
Seems you can make video files with differing frame heights.
And was it really 8 years since I took a photo of some clouds? How time flies.
Also literally nothing in this picture exists any more. It's my old workplace, they knocked it all down.
This was widely regarded as a good thing.
Hacking IoT Smart Plugs
Let's make the Internet of Things a bit more useful, and less like The Internet of Turd by hacking some smart plugs so they no longer phone home to China.
According to Fitbit, gardening is cycling
One of FitBit's more useful features is its ability to automatically detect exercise. I think it uses a combination of your heart rate and how the device is moving.
The pattern of motion and heart rates must be categorised by FitBit so the app can tell the difference between "swimming" and "running", etc.
It's not a precise system though.
Planting Fruit Bushes
Poundland sells cheap fruit bushes, and if you pick the ones with leaves on, they tend to grow fairly well and make a nice hedge type thing. If you pick the ones with no leaves on... they're dead, you're buying a dead plant... They're also not a pound each, but never mind.
