First test from timelapse camera

This is the first test. I got 5 hours bat­tery life. I would be happy with 18 so I will con­tinue test­ing. Click the link below to watch it:

Continuing electronics

I’m con­tin­u­ing my learn­ing of elec­tron­ics, and I seem to be much bet­ter at it than the first time around. It is sat­is­fy­ing when a cir­cuit works first time.

Update

Cur­rently I’m work­ing on:

- Get­ting up to date with var­i­ous frame­works, includ­ing Sym­fony, CodeIgniter and CakePHP.
 – Learn­ing some new SEO tech­niques from local SEO expert Stephan Hay­ward
 – Con­tu­in­ing my top secret time­lapse cam­era project

MySQL caching

I guess the caching is work­ing lololol:

ANPR — Automatic Number Plate Recognition

Feel free to try out this Auto­matic Num­ber Plate Recog­ni­tion demo… upload a pho­to­graph with a car’s licence plate in the frame and it’ll try and read it… it takes some time to process so be patient. It isn’t very reliable:

Just got a thankyou

Just got a nice email in rep­sonse to some code I sub­mit­ted publically:

“jon -

just a quick ‘thank you’ for the code you posted re: pars­ing csv files.

i have a gi-normous excel csv file with indi­vid­ual records span­ning mul­ti­ple lines because of multi-paragraph ‘notes’
fields in each record.

your solu­tion of count­ing the fields and then pars­ing sub­se­quent data based on the num­ber of columns is so com­mon sen­si­cal it makes me embar­rassed that i didn’t think of it.

thanks again,
bruce.”

Happy New Year
