#oggcamp2024

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Tomorrow I am doing a big event. It will be our first time using Plickers (thanks to Alan @teknoteacher ) for demonstrating att to get pupils and teachers to vote for the best activity station and which type of engineering they will look at further 😁

🎙️ Had the chance this week to be on @hpr! I joined Ken to chat about **#OggCamp2024**, shared a bit about my work with the @sovtechfund, and touched on my other talk about mental health in tech.

It's a short and sweet 10 minutes—give it a listen here: hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4

(also: super happy to see multiple episodes tagged for **#mentalhealth**, can't wait to listen to them all!)

And… episode 42 42 for the win! 🤘

After #oggcamp2024, I made some commitments to myself. I decided to get a second hand thin client and install Home Assistant, but also do it in a way which is reproducible. It also pushed me to finally get my static webpage up, so I can record my efforts - mainly for me, but also maybe someone else finds it interesting?
Here it is - generated from org-mode: teulu.org
I have two posts on it: a round of my OggCamp2024, and my first steps setting up a Dell Wyse 5070.
More to come...!

If @milperks's talk at #oggcamp2024 tempted you to make your own Home Assistant bindicator light, "This project aims to provide a neat and standard way of providing bin collection data in JSON format from UK councils that have no API to do so."
