There seems to be a common theme to a lot of these daily photos. Lots of tv after the kids been put to bed. On weeknights that’s pretty much all we have energy for and a good way to unwind.
Right now we’re watching You on Netflix. Decent get-out-of-your-own-head television.

Today I tried the SPL Transient Designer for real for the first time. We used it to get some extra punch in a snare drum and the result was very good.

I’m bringing my pedalboard to work tomorrow, so I made some substitutions of pedals to better suit the ambient/industrial/metal-thingy we’re doing. I replaced the Polytune and Echo Park with a Nano Muff and Heavy Metal.

Today we cleaned Christmas away, danced around the tree and tore down its decorations. Now the house feels slightly empty without all the Christmas stuff, but also clean in a nice relaxing way.

and tagged it with The year of more fun First week of 2019 is coming to a close, so I thought it would be a good time for a quick report on my New Year’s Resolutions.
The easy part to report on is the photoblogging. I’ve been doing that every day, except today but I’ll soon get around to posting a picture for today as well. Probably while fulfilling the third bullet on my list, reading at least one evening/night every week.
As for the work stuff, things have not been going as planned but I blamed that on it being i week with only three work days, two of which were booked full with teaching. That means no work from home this week and no three hours for fun stuff.
I did build a ”self-playing ukulele”, but that was used in teaching the very next day so it doesn’t really count as a fun thing without a clear connection to the everyday grind of work.
That’s it for the first week.

Iris has been telling us again and again that she really, really wants glasses for Christmas. (There’s nothing wrong with her eyesight.) Today my father and his wife came over for a late Christmas celebration and to her great joy, they did give her glasses. :)

One of my projects at work today has been to make this, a system for playing back a recording of a ukulele through a surface transducer and then have it use an actual ukulele as a resonance cavity.

My daily photo for January 1st is this partial view of my messy network equipment shelves, in particular the Raspberry Pi that serves as my Plex Media Server for my home media, since that Is something that I’ve dealt with quite a bit today. Now the kids can enjoy a lot of their shows on both tvs and almost all of the iPads.

2 januari, 2019 16:42@MrHenko Does the Raspberry Pi cope with the rigours of being a Plex server? Obviously it couldn’t transcode, but is it fast enough for other purposes? I have a Pi I use to run Pi-hole, but maybe it could be my Plex server too.
MrHenko
2 januari, 2019 16:44@canion So far I haven’t run into any problems with the Pi as Plex Server, so fingers crossed. If you have a Pi lying around, give it a try!

2 januari, 2019 17:17@canion @MrHenko I’ve been almost buying a Pi to run Pi-hole for a while now. What I really wanted was to run it as Docker container on my Synology but it is too much of a hassle. It is getting to the point that having to deal with yet another power outlet, and system to update is less work than the Docker container.

2 januari, 2019 18:59@MrHenko That’s a messy network equipment shelf? Yikes, I fear what you’d think of of my mess then!

2 januari, 2019 19:15@oyam or indeed what @MrHenko would think of mine…

2 januari, 2019 19:25@cn @oyam Please note “partial view”. This is the mess in its full glory. :) http://blog.henrikcarlsson.se/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_6286.jpg http://blog.henrikcarlsson.se/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_6287.jpg

2 januari, 2019 19:30@MrHenko Ok, that’s more like it, but still not too bad, haha.
btw: You missed

2 januari, 2019 19:35@MrHenko which fs did you format your Drobo with? (how many bays?)
cn
2 januari, 2019 19:40@MrHenko @oyam of course, my network is multi–site (I spread out the messiness).

3 januari, 2019 10:33@MrHenko I gave it a try, but trying to get the Pi to connect to my NAS via the network was way too much hassle so I have given up! Plex can continue to exist on my MacBook for the time being.
MrHenko
6 januari, 2019 22:11@cn No clue about the filesystem. It’s a five bay Drobo that’s served me well as my main off computer storage for at least five years but these days it’s a very expensive paperweight. It’s currently not even plugged in to power.
MrHenko
6 januari, 2019 22:13@canion Connecting to the media disk was the part than almost broke me as well. The way my setup work is that the media disk is a USB drive connected to my MacMini and shared via SMB/AFP. (The reason the MacMini isn’t used as the Plex Server is because it’s a very old model, so it can’t run 64 bit and therefore not a Plex Server that’s new enough to work with the client apps.)

6 januari, 2019 22:50@MrHenko I have a couple of versions of the four–bay (almost paperweights) ext3 was a bad choice for OS, since it appears full sooner than data on it would suggest, I have screenshots from attempts to copy insignificant files and failing despite oodles of space. 🤔

10 januari, 2019 09:15@cn I didn’t know that about the Drobo’s filesystem. The reason mine’s a paperweight now is that it’s just too slow compared to a USB disk attached to the MacMini that acts as a server.
