Hi there,
I just spent the past few days getting my mirror setup working… well, it was an hour of realizing my old Pi would not do it, several days of waiting for the new one to arrive and then just a few hours to be up and running!
I actually registered here just to say “GREAT JOB”. The base system was up and running in maybe an hour (including installing raspian) with all the defaults and a few others (the commute one, wunderground, airports, etc). Took me another hour to get Facial recognition and Sonos hooked up.
I do have a heavy development / linux background, but nothing with node.js at all and I really do not like JavaScript. But I plan on writing a mod to handle talking to a MythTv backend to display a few different things. Hopefully someone will get use out of it and I can give something back to the community.
I am just stunned at how easy this was to get up and running, well done on that installer guys.
Thank you for this awesome thing!

I think I might write something here aswell. I am a 20 years old and from the Netherlands. I am studying computer science and really enjoy doing so. I really like the MagicMirror project, but haven’t made one myself just yet. I am planning to do so in the near future.

Hello all, my name is Daniel and go by 1m2 on diff. forums and what not.
I live in hot as heck Phoenix!
I’m 37 years old and gathering materials now to build my own mm2.
Been in IT for 16 some years, last 2-3 years I have been working as an Application Integration Test Engineer.
Love gadgets and tinkering but I’m not a heavy coder at all myself so I may enlist assistance from my code savvy brother only he doesn’t know it yet. lol.
My hobby thus far has been chopping up car dashes and removing the crappy radio’s they usually have and fabricating removable tablets into them with aftermarket hidden HU’s.
And… I don’t like long walks on the beach, only short ones.
Cheers! -

HI I’m Justin, I’m a rookie programmer and want to try building a Magic Mirror for my apartment. I’ve been looking at it for some months now. I’ve just been procrastinating. SO any pep talks please send my way.

Hi all,
I guess I should have come here when I first joined the forum but I was so anxious for information that I didn’t even see this category, initially.
I’m 58 years old. I am a retired New York City Police Officer. I now work for a local automobile titling and registration company. I have 3 children. My son, the youngest, is a Senior at Stevens Institute of Technology. You can thank (or blame) him for my being here. He introduced me to uBuntu and simply mentioned the Raspberry Pi to me before heading back to school. (See the full story in “Show your mirror”. The rest is history.
I would just like to mention 3 names. They are/were instrumental in helping me get my mirror up and running and continuing to answer my questions relating to customization.
