Welcome, weary traveller.
Designing multi-part assemblies, you expect a certain amount of assembly AND disassembly. When the material is from a FDM printer like PLA, assembly and disassembly can weaken and eventually break parts, very common with hinges, clips, and matted faces where you use fasteners like screws to secure two or more parts together. As part of …

Continuing with the Shooting for charity – building the Hunger Games project, we’ve got a frame to design. Re-focusing on project tenets …and how they apply to the frame: BE FUN It should feel like a carnival game, that means colourful art/design, places to hang rewards/toys/plushies, angled header banner, LED lighting, the works. Also, fun …
Where do we begin? Feeding the mind has always been important to me, whether with knowledge and fun problems, or with food. So when I joined PointClickCare and experienced how much they value giveback initiatives I jumped at the opportunity to start one. FoodOps was born and has been fighting food insecurity in our staff …

A couple weeks ago, I presented an internal workshop at PointClickCare as part of a Learnathon – 2 weeks of buffet-style workshops delivered by staff and vendors followed by a 1 week project period akin to a Hackathon. In this session, we covered theory around Kubernetes pod life cycles, along with operator considerations. In the …

Part of the communications architecture for this research project I’m working on depends on TTL (time-to-live) of data as it travels through various networks. tracert is the perfect tool for such an application; it’s just a shame that there’s no friendly way to generate and output analytics-ready data. tracert2csv takes tracert output and processes it …

Being stuck home for the past month due to Covid-19 has not only given me drive to learn new things, but has also driven me to the walls with boredom. After all, what’s the use of learning something new if you don’t apply it? And thus, sudoku_api was born. sudoku_api is a pure dart package …
Creating a health dashboard by hacking intelligence into an AOpen (the ‘A’ for ancient) monitor; with metrics aggregated by Graphite and beautifully displayed with Grafana. This marks the completion of hardware needed for the GraPi system – our AOpen monitor now functioning as a smart Kiosk. Minor mishap; realized at the end that the USB/Ethernet …

Creating a health dashboard by hacking intelligence into an AOpen (the ‘A’ for ancient) monitor; with metrics aggregated by Graphite and beautifully displayed with Grafana. I’d like to say that the build went on without a hitch, but I ran into two issues. Not project critical issues, but troublesome nonetheless. Let’s talk about them, and …
