I have a plan to use smart TVRs a nest thermostat and home assistant to build my own smart heating system. Mosley because I want to heat only my home office when I'm working but not the rest of the house and I'm too lazy to go and turn all the radiators off by hand.

Really impressed with how far home assistant has come. When I tried it a few years ago I remember hours of messing around with config files just to get something simple working. This time it detected all of my devices automatically. I have not touched a yaml file so far.

The saga of the button continues. I still can't decide what to do with it so I got myself a ESP8266 I'm going to set it to publish its state to my mqtt broker and decide what it will trigger later.

I decided to try giving blood. I have been meaning to do it for about the last ten years.
It's great you get to fulfil some of your social obligations by sitting in a chair for 5 min then getting a free snack and drink. If you hate being social, it's one of the best ways I can think of.

Going by my steam year in review, I only clocked up around 42 hours of gaming this year. Around 7 min of gameplay a day if you average it out.

I do miss 16-hour gaming sessions. I remember completing half life 2 in one session as soon as it unlocked, then being useless at work the next day. Good times

Fun little rabbit hole I fell down. I saw a Reddit post about the Cistercian Number System that can use a single glyph for all numbers between 1 and 9999. Decided to see if I could generate them. Some code and a sprinkle of SVG later, I have a Cistercian clock.
