I sweat a lot.

RE: Gumwrapper Truth or Truth
Nope. I’m scared shitless of needles so will never happen either.

RE: Gumwrapper Truth or Truth
@Scuzz same. Actually going pretty soon with my dad. He always likes the Bond movies but my mom doesn’t want to go see them with him and he doesn’t want to go alone. Just so happens that I enjoy them too, so we just go together.

RE: Gumwrapper Truth or Truth
Biggest surprise? Probably when I won that Surface 2. Can’t really think of anything better.
Principal’s office all the way.

RE: [Python] Twitter controlled LEDs
I did something similar back with Boblight a year or 2 ago. Had it working with configurable lighting effects and Facebook/Email too.

The lighting transition was generated as well since Boblight only took byte streams and didn’t know about any effects.
Kind of related to this, I currently have my Hyperion set up with 2 different sources, Kodi and an USB video grabber but I needed a way to easily switch them. My first solution was to create a Kodi plugin that I could control using a simple HTTP request. It worked but was tedious. I recently learned about the existence of
cec-clientand it’s monitoring mode, so I whipped up a bash script that monitors the CEC traffic and changes Hyperion sources based on my AV receiver’s source. All configurable too. The only other thing I want now is to be able to change the HDMI OUT mode of my receiver but apparently that’s impossible using CEC. There’s an undocumented command you can send over telnet to do it though but I don’t want to get another ethernet cable there. -

Or you can use the download tool from here to get it now.

RE: Virtual Desktops
They are also in OS X. I don’t use them nearly as much as I’d like but I think I’ll start using them more now that there’s been a huge performance improvement in El Capitan, makes switching so much nicer. I do tend to keep certain apps in full screen, which is essentially a virtual desktop just for that app.

RE: Watches
@Almost what did that cost you?
I’ve been wearing this one for a long time now. Got it from my dad who got it for free, lol. It’s a decent watch and I’ve had it for a couple of years now.

It’s a bit beaten up, but I’ve been wearing it a lot for the past couple of years. Don’t really have enough money to get another decent watch.

RE: Do you miss PSP?
I actually do miss PSP. Sometimes I wish I could go back to it and finish up some truly amazing codes I had either in mind or half finished. Sadly I don’t have a whole lot of free time as it is and I wouldn’t even be able to show it to anyone if I did end up finishing those codes. Plus the games I wanted to make those codes for are probably abandoned right now, wouldn’t even be able to test them.
