So much shit in the app store

Literally. To make it extra weird it is the 23rd app that comes up when you search chromecast in the app store.

Bathroom Tiles


The owber came out and was nice about fixing the floor tiles. He agreed they didn't look right. The workers then came and dug out the tiles that were messed up and relayed them for grouting. They missed whole lot of them so I went through and marked off the ones I have issue with in red. The blue tape is what they fixed. I wish so bad I had just done it myself at this point. I know it can be straight and even as there are sections where it is right and I saw a demo installation of that tile at the time store

To be honest Im still very unhappy about the grade of the shower edge away from the drain on one side but we will see when their is water as the owner seemed to think it would not be an issue.

Dusty Nasty Room


This is such a (e:lilho) pic but really its about the dust. Everywhere is so dusty. I cannot wait for this construction to be over. We moved into the blue room for now.

Frontyard Cycles

I literally spend every moment of today programming for the production at the Burchfield Penney. I think I have a pretty solid video/audio selector formula now to go along with the media manager and camera controls. One of the tricky parts was doing the math for sunrise/sunset but I ended up just scraping the next five years worth of time and dates from the web and storing it in a DB table.

Now the thing just needs to be fed more data.

Programming with (e:joe) a bit was fun. I am really excited about the possibilities.

I was saying to brian it would be interesting to communicate with the audience from cell phones over the speaker system or to have the system itself text to speach grumble about the weather. There are so many possibilities.

Nightmare Tile Scenario

Came home tonight and was pissed because the contractors used the wrong color grout. I thought that was the wrost of my problems but figured I could live with it. Then I tripped over a tile. Then I started to look around. Almost everywhere, except around the toilet was uneven.

As if the uneven, tile with random thickness grout and barrier corner parts wasn't bad enought, the shower pan even went downhill away from the drain which is bound to be a water nightmare in the future. It is so visually obviously that it makes me feel like I am in a crooked fun house looking at it.

Lets start out with the good side. Notice the evenness of the tile height. On this side the bottom tiles are all the same height.

image

Then on the other side it goes downhill on one side, like the pan concrete goes downhill, away from the drain in the front left corner. You can tell when you look at how much larger the bottom rows of white tiles go down on the left side of the picture. That side is almost a half inch lower. That is going to be a nightmare if its not fixed as the water will pool in that corner.

image

Before they began work I spent weeks tearing out an uneven 6" tile floor so that the new floor could be even. There was nothing left but the joists of the house. They put in a new seamingly even as plywood is floor as underlayment. The tile floor is really even around the toilet. Like this.

image
image

But then everywhere else it is this. We are talking like $3k worth of marble thats part of a $25k bathroom remodel that is potentially fucked up. I was so hoping this would be over but now I feel we are just beginning.

My other bathrooms 100 year old stone tile floor that is perfectly flat. I know from tearing up the other one that they used thick mud.

Working On Cycles


I have been working a bunch on the cycles project coming to the Burchfield Penney. RPCI donated the old intranet server to the project. Here you can see it in its new home which is not really the environment it was used to. At one point someone was sweeping up the dust in the room.

The server is used to process weather data and create playlists for the server.

Canadaway

After half a lifetime I made it back to Canadaway for camping. I have no idea why I didn't come back sooner. The place is so pretty and leantos are awesome. For the longest time I couldn't find where it was until I rediscovered an old hiking book I had that marked it back in February of 2012 (e:paul,56022). Then we forgot to go back.

Here are the directions

The view from the leanto to the pond

(e:yesthatcasey) got a head wound my smashing his head on a nail in the leanto. He kept trying to avoid me getting a pic of it, so this is all we got.
