Tony is a Geek

Well, maybe not quite Aloe-RoboCop-Vera: But, it certainly has now moved into the 21st century. A short while ago (End of Nov 2022), so maybe 4 weeks ago? I was very proud of myself for determining that I shall get a little LCD screen (round) and I shall connect it up to a Raspberry Pi PICO a nd to some soil moisture sensors.... I posted about having "fun" getting the LCd screen to work with the PICO and that it was only a matter of formality to get it hooked up and measuring the soil etc..etc... I made a statement at the end of that article post that I will see this through and it will not go by the way-side, like so many other projects have in the past. Now, after many distractions (and mainly a postal strike or two in the middle), I can admit, I have now done it - albeit with a slight cheat.... but this cheat has / will allow me to do even more! MUWAHAHAHAAAAA! I stripped down one of the capacitive moisture sensors and tried to figure out how it worked: https://shop.pimor...

I'm a bit of a CyberPunk geek.... you may have guessed that already. However, just watched the first 2 of these and man, did they take me back in time! Wow! I think I've had pretty much every one of those dodgy movies on VHS back in the early 90's, as for the games, had a few - didn't even know that a load of those even existed, life could have been very different had I known.... anyway, watch, observe and appreciate losing yourself for a few hours in these very well made videos about Cyberpunk. Part 1:   Part 2:   Part 3:   ....and now we will have the Omniverse / Metaverse.... looks like the old Cyberpunks are going to get their way in the end... dystopian future being jacked into a pointless existence of digital mayhem... oh well, let's join in and break some rules :-D
