Tony is a Geek

In todays update of the ever so exciting and riveting exercise of doing something a 14year old with the attention span of a gnat could do in 20 minutes - my excuse is that I have a day job that consumes me pretty much 85% of the day and the rest of that 15% has to be juggled very carefully, oh to be 14 again... actually, no, let's not. CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST UPDATE WHERE I GET SOMETHING TO WORK! - I demonstrate that Python isn't 100% useless (I've always stated, "it is good for cardboard mock ups"), even though the Tracking stuff is not all available, even after doing everything, everyone said on the internet (maybe that was installation error - we'll see) - I am very happy that CPU usage is down to sub-30% for the object tracking on the RPi4 - I get rather excited for adding the face recognition code to the front of this code and make what I've been wanting to make all along.... and then add in the servo code... I reckon, fingers crossed, with a fair w...

 So, in todays episode of, "How can Tony waste his time doing some worthless task, he'll never get that time back y'know....", CLICK HERE TO WASTE SOME OF YOUR TIME SEEING HOW I WASTED MINE I give an update on the progress of the face detection / recognition code I scratch my head as to why the CPU usage is still so high? I figure out why the CPU usage is so high! I do a very quick explanation of HAAR classifier usage and hence the CPU usage issue I get bored and do some fun stuff with hardware - mainly hooking up SERVOs to a Raspberry Pi 4 I also get very irate with myself as I still cannot find the Wifi extender device that will allow me to play with my old 486DX40 Handbook (the worlds smallest "laptop" device) and get it connecting to the Internet - why?....why not!... I set it all up 6 years ago and I just want to see if it's still valid ... and okay, I might set it up as a cheeky web-server! CLICK HERE TO WASTE SOME OF YOUR TIME SEEING HOW I WASTED ...
