So, what are some of the coolest things you accomplished this year?
2I learned how to do a javascript image slider! I think those things are way cool and I’ve got a ton of old scanned photos and a ton of graphic software to enhance images.
I found a few places where you can subscribe (it’s not that much money), but the amount you create is limited. Like you can only have three at a time. If you want a new one, you have to overwrite the old one and the old one you have entered in your weblog will now be the new one.
Kinda not what you want on your blog, yanno?
It’s javascript. So, I found one and sat my fat ass down one day and really concentrated on how to do it and I did it!
My first before/after photo slider.
And we set up FIVE security cameras! Well, one is in the living room, so that doesn’t count. We’ve got them for critters. Cats, raccoons, opossums, the occasional rat (there’s video of an opossum grabbing a rat!) and coyotes. Hubby kind of wanted them because there’s a little bit of local drug dealing going on up the street, so the security is a thing for him.
Besides saving the video to memory cards that are installed in the camera, I also have them saving to a hard drive in the house. It took me weeks to get all of the settings correct and wouldn’t you know?
I haven’t watched them. The hard drive they’re on is an external hard drive attached to my router and I can view them on the Plex app.
But I still think it’s cool.

I made an omelet that didn’t fall apart.
@OnionSoup That is a fine accomplishment. It really is. Mine usually end up all over the stove.
@lisaviolet mine used to. They would look pretty in the pan but then I would try to get them out and they would fall apart. I don’t know why but lately my omelettes are staying in one piece… And I don’t even know what I’m doing different to make them work now.
@lisaviolet @OnionSoup God invented scrambled eggs for a reason. I am guessing that reason is because I can’t make an omelet.
I had a kid get married and leave the nest. Indirect accomplishment in a way…
@zinimusprime Congratulations. Are you planning on remodeling the extra room? Media? Cave? Crafting? Exercise?
@lisaviolet Thanks! We turned it into a guest room so I don’t have to keep giving up my office. It’s been great. We had dinner with them last night too and it’s awesome seeing them doing well.
LEGOS! EGGOS! STRATEGO! AWESOME!
I survived it
So far
@Cerridwyn Well, that’s pretty cool. Way better than the alternative.
Here’s the video of the opossum catching the mouse/rat.
I figured out the work around to get my Raspberry Pi Zero 2w to connect to wireless networking. I just wish I knew enough to get it fixed in the upstream software.
I grew some good tomatoes thanks to the woman who gave away bunches of seedlings on Nextdoor. The best ones were a variety I’d never heard of before, Hungarian Heart. They’re HUGE and delicious and the skins weren’t tough the way all the other varieties’ were.
