All things me.

@Burk Thanks for the advice. I was planning to start putting things up this past weekend but I just didn’t have the time or energy for it. But today we finally carved a pumpkin and started putting up some decorations.

I always want to make a big deal of Halloween but then when it rolls around it’s always apparent that this is (in Sweden) the shitty part of the year where I have zero energy for anything.

@Burk As long as you blog about the journey, I’m happy regardless.

@hollyhoneychurch I saw some review of The Boys and thought it sounded terrible but maybe it’s something I should reconsider and put on my list.

It appears that I was quite good at documenting my work on the music player, so I’m up and running again now.

Previously I’ve used an old USB webcam (actually a PlayStation eyeToy Camera) as the scanner and it has worked fine. However I wanted something different in the long run, so yesterday I bought a camera module for the Raspberry Pi.

The main thing I’m doing tonight, apart from getting back to where I were, is to test whether this particular camera works or not. So far it has not been plug and play but maybe it was foolish of me to expect that. As I’m writing this I’m doing a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and then I’ll have to do some configuration in raspi-config.

Also, I’m starting to get reaaaaaaally tired so I’ll probably call it a night pretty soon. I blame daylight savings time.
