I don't need a bag

https://www.gnulnx.net/2010/06/21/i-dont-need-a-bag

I don't need a bag. Jun 21, 2010. This seems to be one of my most commonly said phrases. I was at Walmart earlier today to buy a new griddle and a bottle of laundry detergent. Two items, both with strong, durable handles that were designed for moving, carrying or otherwise transporting said objects. How many arms do I have? 2 Sounds like a match made in heaven, no? So as I am checking out, the cashier proceeds to double bag the detergent, and single bag the griddle. Three unneeded bags for 2 items?

Environmental temperature monitoring with 1-Wire and Linux Part 1. Dec 22, 2011. After toying with the idea for a couple of years, I finally got started on setting up a 1-Wire network in my house to collect temperatures in each of my rooms. The long delay in getting started with this project is almost entirely from having trouble in finding definitive information regarding what I needed, so I hope to accomplish that here. My setup looks like this:. Server - 1-Wire Serial Adapter. Connecting it to your PC.

ZoneMinder Skin: Events Slideshow

https://www.gnulnx.net/2010/05/08/zoneminder-skin-events-slideshow

ZoneMinder Skin: Events Slideshow. May 8, 2010. After getting real-world experience with my new skin at a clients site, where I had to actually try to find a specific event (theft), I realized how useless the Events page itself was - the little thumbnails did little except provide a link to the lightbox, where the good, usable features were. Remember that you can follow my developments at my github project page. Or on the ZoneMinder forums.

Beware of Velociraptor

Sep 2, 2010. So I was nearing completion of the privacy fence that I was building for my back yard. I have a dog, and instead of going the the traditional "Beware of Dog" route, I wanted to do something a little bit more creative, so I went over to buildasign.com and designed my own sign:. I couldn't find any silhouetted-pictures of a Velociraptor, so I found nice side-view picture and edited it myself. Well, the sign arrived yesterday:.

After having such a hard time finding (m)any good examples online, this article is going to explain how to use perl to connect to Amazon's S3 service to download files.
