Thoughts for 2 March 2016
I intended to be posting more this year but here is the second of March and this is my first post here since December. There really isn't that much going on of late. At least very little that'd make for interesting reading.
The biggest news of the month is probably that a section of the ceiling in my garage fell making a huge mess of broken glass from the large fluorescent bulbs, brownish dusty insulation, broken sheetrock, and sundry detritus that the previous occupants stuffed in the attic. The fluorescent light wasn't secured to a beam as it should have been, it was just attached to the sheetrock of the ceiling. It's not the first example of shoddy and ill thought work I've discovered in this house. I doubt it'll be the last, sadly.
In other news the Raspberry Pi I fiddled with off and on throughout 2015 has found a more long term use. It's now running a wiki I'm using for notes and whatnot. Would like to get add a RS-232 port to it so I can attach an X10 firecracker so I can set up cron jobs to turn lights on and off.
The headaches that plagued me throughout 2014 and 2015 are still with me and making me quite irritable from time to time. There isn't much to be done about it at this point. Curiously coffee with a teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper per cup has a really potent ameliorating effect. So far it's the most effective remedy for these headaches that I've found.
I've returned to working on a little writing project I've been dabbling with off and on for too many years now. I'm going to be in need of test readers for it before too much longer, I hope.
That's all for now.
