The Rangers lost and the Colts were stomping the Texans. Decided to go back to slinging some code. Little bash, a little that.

I like "Pro Bash Programming" by Chris Johnson.

Looked at an F5 from Sams book I bought for a few bucks.

Tomorrow, plan to learn a bit more cgi and perl.

You never stop learning. Something I wished I realised many decades ago.

Had planned to try my hand at robotics stuff for Halloween. Decided to pass on it. Maybe xmas.

Bought some battery operated xmas lights for 2 bucks a short string.

Ordered some l293d chips.

At first I was not a fan of the "pads/touch tablets" then I started to think about it and using a web server I came up with lots of ideas.

I am retired, but I am so close to getting a touchpad and starting a business doing turnkey projects. I see all kinds of things you can use it for. i.e. kitchen computer for getting recipes.,we have a web page for doing measurement conversions and a web based recipe data base. Garage computers for access diy project instructables and...

Finally acquired some parts such as a pir sensor to update my instructables for doing security with a computers. More on that later.

Thinking about getting a touch pad/tablet. so I can get more into home automation. Now I just use an old celeron based laptop with eop (ethernet over power lines) that I drag around the house to access the web server. Writing code in php and using mysql more and more. Nice not to have to load applications on every machine. Just fire up the web browser...

If you are really board to death, you can look at some of these beginner instructables:
