It seems like today is the day that I try and get aquainted with #HomeAssistant I have bought a cheapo Dell USFF machine from eBay, and stuck in an old drive I wasn't using. Next thing I know... I've got a dashboard! And it has already found lots of my devices!Not particularly planning on doing much control at this stage. It's mainly for the monitoring and logging until I know what I'm doing.

I keep on forgetting about the #RC2014 Traffic Light Simulator I made. You can probably tell how long it's been sitting around by all the dust on it!I should finish this off one day. I don't think.today is that day though.

If anybody is wondering if it is morally acceptable to play Scott Adams adventure games following the recent bout of newspapers dropping Dilbert cartoons.Yes. Yes it is perfectly ok.The Scott Adams that's famous for writing Adventure and many other classic computer games is not the racist intolerant arsehole that wrote Dilbert. They're two very different people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams_(game_designer)

I'm absolutely furious with #Kicad right now!I've been working on a board design for 2 weeks now, and noticed that all my libraries have gone! No warning or anything, just an updated that decided to delete all of my old libraries (but not replace them with new ones!). Why can't software people just leave software alone FFS!

Ok, I've found some libraries in the /usr/share/kicad directory (which I'm sure they weren't there before), and messed about with the path variables, and I seem to be back up and running again.And breath...Not going to touch anything at all until this project is done and the files are with the manufacturers.

@EdS It should be neither rounded or truncated. It should *always* be written out in full!🙃

Ah, I was wrong. Thankfully. It's only regular Queens Head stamps that we can't use from next month. Pretty stamps will still be ok. Thanks @solderandchaos for pointing that out.https://www.royalmail.com/sending/barcoded-stamps
