Here is a list of the modules that I am using that I forgot to enter at the end of my story.
MMM-Remote Control - An absolute “must have” module. With it, I use my iPhone to turn other modules off and on. It impresses the hell out of people. It impresses the hell out of me! You can also access it on any computer on your network. Brilliant!
compliments - I use it for insults, too. “You look fat in that dress!” is my favorite.
planetrise - I’m an amateur astronomer with a telescope. Having this information at a glance is simply fantastic!
alert - One of the default modules
MMM-Simple-Logo - 3 instances, 2 you can see. The picture I drew in high school and the YES logo at the bottom right and left. A picture of me is hidden via MMM-Remote Control. I mean really, who wants to see that? ;-)
MMM-Globe - Another “must have” for me. Every ten minutes I get a picture of earth from the Japanese Himawari-8 weather satellite displayed on my mirror? Sign me up.
clock - One of the default modules
calendar - I combined the free US Holidays calendar with my Google calendar. Excellent!
currentweather - One of the default modules. Very nice.
weatherforecast - One of the default modules. Also very nice.
MMM-SystemStats - Hidden via MMM-Remote Control in the pictures. When I want to check system temperature, system load and free ram I just show it for a moment and hide it again.
newsfeed - One of the default modules. I happen to be in NYC so that’s just perfect for me

Hey no such thing as old ;) The noob part… I’m still there… just learning how to write js and it’s been painful but I thought to myself today… “I AM GOING TO GET THIS!” I learned PHP I can learn this too!
Baby steps… Hahahhahhaha

That’s extremely nice of you to say so. I hope I get a similar reaction from my son when the time comes.

You did an absolutely fantastic job on your mirror, and your “boring” story is rather inspiring if you ask me. Thanks for posting!

Thank you very much for your kind words. I thought I was done with this, but it has been so much fun that I continue to tweak things and I’m trying to repay those that helped me along the way by helping other new builders that have questions. There are some fantastic people here that helped me and everyone else. PeppaPigKilla (the very first person to get me past a hurdle), yawns, Strawberry 3.141, to name a few. They are brilliant, patient, and generous with their assistance. In my case, they deserve to be mentioned.
Peace :peace:
