Cooler but warming later.\u00a0 Some chance of rain.\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe clear later.\u00a0\u00a0 Yesterday was nice and hot, sunny too.\u00a0\u00a0 D1 had a good time at the beach.<\/p>\n
I was looking for a safety monitor to watch out for me in the attic at my client’s place.\u00a0\u00a0 It was REALLY hot in the attic.\u00a0\u00a0 Fortunately I did all the hard and sweaty crawling around last time.\u00a0 All I had to do was enter, and connect cabling.\u00a0 Still, last time I measured the attic temps in summer, I got 142F iirc.\u00a0\u00a0 I might take a thermometer back with me on Monday or Tues. just to see.\u00a0\u00a0 In any case it was dangerously hot.<\/p>\n
I didn’t get any one thing done over there either.\u00a0\u00a0 Got the camera rebooted.\u00a0\u00a0 Tried adding the new cam, but firmware and OS on the NVR were too old.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m replacing it all next week anyway so I didn’t update anything.\u00a0\u00a0 Did some maintenance on the ubiquiti Cloud Key appliance that works as a manager and dashboard for the system.\u00a0\u00a0 Didn’t update any firmware in the system either, as I didn’t have time to recover if anything broke.\u00a0 Did get new hardware added.<\/p>\n
Got the NanoStation 5AC loco added, and configured as an access point.\u00a0 I confirmed there is signal at the gate opener and keypad.\u00a0\u00a0 If I have to, I can add the other one, a switch at the gate, and config it all as a wire replacement.\u00a0\u00a0 More gear, more time, more effort, so I’m hoping that I’ve done enough with wifi coverage.\u00a0 I couldn’t quite finish, as I needed to locate a PoE injector in the attic, and I didn’t have what I needed with me to plug everything in.\u00a0 I’ll bring that back next week and finish that.<\/p>\n
And I got the control gear installed, the piece I had to wait most of a year to find on ebay as normal channels are dry.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s configured but not complete as the controls programmer hasn’t done his part yet.\u00a0 He wants me there when he connects and sets it up.\u00a0 I’ll need to test it in any case.<\/p>\n
So a lot got done, but nothing got done<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Today I should be doing more cleaning, and taking stuff out of the house and to storage.\u00a0 It’s piling up while waiting for an auctioneer, but it needs to be out of the foyer and living room.\u00a0 I’ve been doing other stuff, and making the piles higher as I organized.\u00a0\u00a0 If it isn’t raining, today is the day that organizing will bear fruit as the stuff goes away.<\/p>\n Oh, all the normal weekly domestic bliss needs to happen too.\u00a0\u00a0 Joy.<\/p>\n It’s a great life, if you don’t falter.<\/p>\n Stack something, even if it’s a small stack.<\/p>\n nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cooler but warming later.\u00a0 Some chance of rain.\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe clear later.\u00a0\u00a0 Yesterday was nice and hot, sunny too.\u00a0\u00a0 D1 had a good time at the beach.<\/p>\n I was looking for a safety monitor to watch out for me in the attic at my client’s place.\u00a0\u00a0 It was REALLY hot in the attic.\u00a0\u00a0 Fortunately I did all the hard and sweaty crawling around last time.\u00a0 All I had to do was enter, and connect cabling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
