Hello everyone, this is Goobmo. I did not have one topic that would fill an entire episode,
|
|
so I thought I would talk about a project I hope ends up a waste of time, some command line
|
|
resources, and an experiment with reverse speech.
|
|
Just before Christmas, I got up one morning to head off to work, went through my normal
|
|
routine and hit the road. I can only imagine that the safety sensors in my garage door
|
|
tripped, and as I sped off, the door returned to the open position.
|
|
An hour later, Mrs. Goobmo found the garage door open, and the passenger door of her vehicle
|
|
ajar, and the glove box rifled. This scared the snot out of me. We take for granted that the
|
|
garage door is a solid security tool, and so tend to leave the internal doors unlocked,
|
|
as well as the vehicles in my attached deep sanctuary, aka the shop.
|
|
First step was to implement a policy of treating the garage as a security risk.
|
|
No purses or keys are to be left in the rigs. Garage doors are to be locked at all times,
|
|
and I am considering options on auto-locking hardware and exterior doors to replace
|
|
the internal hollow core doors, now giving us access to the garage.
|
|
For added security strength, then the fun began.
|
|
I dug through my old hardware, and found a retired tower with enough juice to run a boom-to.
|
|
Loaded up motion, a webcam security solution, and set it up in the shop,
|
|
close enough to the shop door to snake a webcam out to the eve, overlooking our driveway.
|
|
There is a great tutorial on the show notes on how to sync your captured images to Dropbox,
|
|
so you can run this system headless, and just clear out the pictures of cats, birds, and delivery men from your work system.
|
|
I have been playing around with my Kindle, and using Calibre to convert documents for it.
|
|
This got me digging through my saved documents to find victims for conversion,
|
|
and I ran across my collection of command line books.
|
|
Unix, for the beginning mage, is a collection of stories by Joe Topgianne,
|
|
is styled in a fantasy setting explaining basic command line usage in a compelling and enjoyable manner.
|
|
This is opt for it up for free.
|
|
Then there is the FSS bookstore.
|
|
Their books are available for purchase or free download, and are a great resource on many command line and GNU Linux topics.
|
|

|
A friend told me about a famous recent saying that when played backwards had an ominous sound to it.
|
|
He went on to claim that this well-known saying was made known to him on the internet, so had to be true.
|
|
It just didn't sound right to me.
|
|
I just could not get the sentence structure to line up in reverse in my head, so needed to do it for real.
|
|
So I fired up a Dacity, and recorded me saying the phrase twice, then highlighted the output and selected effect from the toolbar, then reverse.
|
|
And I'll be darned he was right.
|
|
So now that we know that everything you hear on the internet is true, can we not make HBR the best source of information available?
|
|
Yes we can.
|
|
Yes we can.
|
|
And you say.
|
|
And you say.
|
|
Thank you for listening to Active Public Radio.
