2008-11-22 12:00:00 Work is almost complete at metering propane fuel flow. But I'm on my last free bottle, so the development's about to stop. There's always next year. The website and the LCD both show a percentage of fuel used, though based on a guess; it's progress.
2008-11-12 09:00:00 Graphing has now been moved to their final positions. Tripstar does them, and then only by cron. They're not as fresh, but they're much faster and don't lock up a machine every time Google 'takes a walk'. Work continues on the in-house controlpanel for changing propane tanks, changing comfort limits and so on. I won't be able to show it off, but I have high hopes.
2008-10-25 16:36:02 New audio switching harness installed. Minimized equipment to switch computer audio from desktop speakers to/from bedroom speakers. Not much to show, but photos soon.
2008-10-13 12:06:35 This new, news database created.
2007-08-29 00:00:00 Work progresses; I'm collecting climactic stats inside now, trying to learn the best way to vent the summer heat. I've all-but-completed the workstation, closet/toolchest, and am working to set up a bed in which I can sleep without waking up covered in spiders. (I'm in a garage, these days.) I can only do what's 'free', since I've been unemployed for 2M now! It sucks, too...and I'm working to fix that, too- it's much harder than it looks.

2007-05-26 00:00:00 Initial experimentation is starting on the sensors for temperature humidity, and power conditions with the 1-wire interface. It's fun, easy, and compared to the alternative, cheap. I'm loving it.
2007-05-26 00:00:00 Work progresses from plywood-n-vinly to some silicon. I have little to show, built-in, but experiments continue to do cool things for power, climate, and security management. Stay Tuned.
2007-02-21 00:00:00 Thanks to some fine inspiration from a guy building his own F-16 cockpit, I've realized some simpler, better methods for solving some of the problems that have bothered me.
2006-04-23 00:00:00 After what can only be called a religous experience, or just a really, really emotional debate, I decided to start work again. First objective: Insulation, flooring. I moved the trailer around to the driveway near the garage, and gave it a good power wash. It's amazing how dirty it got, just standing still for five years. :(
2005-10-13 00:00:00 I've located some white, 1" foam and lots of it, so I'll be able to insulate the trailer! I'd almost lost hope, to tell the truth. It can't SAY how grateful I am to the crew who sourced it to me. Thank you!
