January 16: I still don't quite understand where my shiny Mac M2 gets all the bass from. I mean, it's not like it has a big resonant space to play with, but there's some omph in there somewhere.
January 15: Done and planned for 2025 so far: 1 x-ray, 2 MRIs, a court cause, and a "trauma clinic". Hopefully this isn't a bellwether for the year.
January 14: Character evolution for Ms. Rizzoli seems to have landed on "let's make her behave like a two-year-old who demands things her way regardless of conseuqences." It's rather grating, and I can't imagine the actress was particularly happy with it, except she was probably getting a large sack of cash to deal with the trauma...
January 13: Two lessons from my constant fiddling with OpenHAB: Firstly, if you're gonna have home automation of any sort, make sure you have a goal in mind. I've a z-wave network of (mostly) TRVs that is largely a hacker's toy. Secondly, the idea of home automation is far more attractive than the reality. After all, the reality is brought to you by the same process that brought you, "it's not working? try power-cycling it and see if the same thing happens".
January 12: Back on our regular Rizzoli and Isles fodder. One of the most jarring things about this show is that the Rizzoli of the title has shot numerous perpetrators - pretty much all fatally, as far as I can recall - with zero consequences. Her brother, on the other hand, had a whole episode dedicated to "maybe he shot someone he shouldn't have?" but of course in the end it worked out: hurrah, he killed the right person. There was a brief flirtation with non-lethal weaponry a couple of episodes back but that seems to have gone straight out the window as tonight's was back to shoot first, ask questions later on the off chance that the lead donation recipient survives.
January 11: Final season of Vera! Ever! Hope it's a good one... wait, what, only two episodes? Sheesh... hardly a season, is it? But ok, the final episode was well done.
January 10: Silo: almost complete and I'm still not sure what they're going to do in the final episode. Not to bang a drum repeatedly but it looks like introducing the Judicial subplot has complicated things that need to be resolved.
January 09: The Z-Wave adventures continue: at 02:45 this morning, the controller attempted to process messages from three devices that aren't in the house. I think it just made up some node IDs.
January 08: Running the Z-Wave binding in trace mode and looking at what it's doing. I am thinking it could do with posting a good deal of this information in places other than a trace log; some of this would be useful as bridge data (akin to the current packet counters) and some would be useful as Thing data e.g. last time we heard from this Thing, last time we sent a packet to this Thing, latency, etc.
January 07: Not making much progress on the Z-Wave query. I mean, ok, it's open source and I'm getting exactly as much support as I paid for...
