Foodie 11: Revisiting Potstickers

One might ponder: "Senpai Weber, do you ever tire of potstickers?"

Without hesitation, I would respond: "Do you ever tire of breathing, student? Potstickers are the breath of one's culinary being..."

I suppose that can be literal, as well.

No, I cannot tire of those delicately wrapped morsels of meat, steamed and crisped on their bottoms in the likes of any pan. I never will.

But the sauce... With that I can experiment. Today I whipped up a sauce made of sesame oil, soy sauce, pepper flakes, honey, and lemon juice.

Do not ask me for quantities, I did not write any down.

Trust your stomach, pupil.

Arduino & Tri-Colored LEDs

Image
I'm currently working on an unnamed  project which requires the integration of tri-color LEDs (RGB). These are merely four-pin LEDs with a common anode or cathode and an input pin for red, green, and blue. With varying currents, a multitude of colors can be produced. So I created a C++ (arduino) library for handling such LEDs. Since most of my knowledge of programming is in C, learning about classes in C++ is a significant accomplishment for me.

Nerd-Code Snippets 3: Bash Minecraft Install Scripts

Image
Nerd-Code Snippets 3: Bash Minecraft Install Scripts TL;DR - I haven’t posted in a while. I like scripting and I try to script my Ubuntu 20.04 setup whenever I can. While a bit silly, Minecraft, and a few other 3rd party programs that work with Minecraft, find their download/installation/upgrade scripts among my bash-scripted setup files. Yes, this old blog still exists, despite how sparse my contributions. However, now it is mid-2020, I’ve been at Synap for over 4 years, I’m married, have had back surgery, have a 1-year-old daughter, and – most importantly – I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04. As a part of upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04, I’ve decided to script as much of my setup and preferences as possible. While not a staple of my day-job at all, I do always have Minecraft installed on the Linux-side of my computer. The latest release, Minecraft 1.16, sees a huge update to the nether dimension. As a result, certain 3rd party programs are updating as well.

TinkerTech 2: CNC Notify Part 1

I'm slowly becoming a machinist for an incredibly tiny part production company ( Inspire Products, Inc. ). Not a manual machinist, mind you. A better title might be a machine programmer, though my official title is manufacturing engineer. Whatever you call it, my position sometimes requires me to run CNC machines overnight or over the weekend, especially when cutting molds. These machines can sometime fail and require maintenance. We have a camera set up so we can check the status of the machine lights, but that doesn't always tell us a lot (especially in the dark when color is indistinguishable) and I don't intend to nervously watch the shop camera on my time off. However, if I were notified of a status change, then it would be a lot easier to enjoy one's time off and simply go in to solve the problem as needed.
