Like my brownhouse:
   a chemical smell that I would rather not have
Tuesday, August 27 2024
Today I found myself experiencing the mild emotional funk that typically visits me when I'm between things in life. I couldn't do much more than watch YouTube videos, mostly about the ongoing presidential race. It's good to get outside and hike in the forest when I'm feeling this way, but the mosquitoes make that option impossible unless I cover myself with insect repellant, which then gives me a chemical smell that I would rather not have.

This evening I did some tinkering with the backend code of my ESP-8266-based Remote Control system. The device_feature_log table was getting duplicate records for single events, and I didn't like that. I found a way to mostly prevent those, which gave me some satisfaction. I also had ChatGPT come up with a Javascript function to locate inflection points two-dimensional data, which I hoped would provide better smoothing for my the battery percentage graph from the Cabin's solar inverter. I was able to get good smoothing across a series of "swaths" of data, but at the boundary between swaths, the smoothing of one swath was so incompatible with the smoothing of the next one that there would be a harsh hysteresis in the graph at the boundary. I'll have to ask ChatGPT what can be done about this.
