20 April 2020, A day in Progress

Status: Sheltering In Place, we have plenty of food and supplies with out portable fridge to help out. I have submitted my resignation for 1 May 2020.

Plans: We have scheduled a InstaCart for this morning at 09:00.

  • Check in at Work 06:00
  • Watching our shopper get our groceries at Kroger 08:00
  • Putting away our Groceries 09:00
  • Groceries done, back to work 10:00
  • Work done, time to work on the Cameras. 11:00
  • Cameras running, PiAware is stumbling.
  • Unable to fix PiAware and i’m bushed. 14:00
  • Took a shower and sipp’n on a margarita
  • Had a large salad and White Chicken Chili 17:00

Narrative: Rose to my alarm clock at 06:00, nine more days of that before I retire again. Logged onto work E-Mail and exchanged E-Mail most of the morning. Our InstaCart showed up around 9:30.

My Flight Aware receiver is floundering, I may not be able to repair it until next weekend. (I don’t know if it is the Pi, Software or the receiver at this point.)

Worked on my neighbors cameras for a good part of last evening and this afternoon. I have a good view of the inside and the back yard. I use a “WGA600N Gaming Adapter” that was originally designed to bridge the gap between a “Wired” Internet gaming console and a wireless router in the home. It connects to the wireless in my house to extend our network into remote buildings to support the cameras in them.

Obsolete Gaming adapter.

Almost any “Travel Router” has the ability to bridge wireless to an Ethernet connection and they are MUCH smaller. (A mango is less then 3×3″ about the fourth the size of this gaming adapter.)

Feelings:

Tomorrow: Back to work in the morning and mow the lawns in the afternoon.
