            Hello!

            I’m Chris. 25 male as of mid-May. Biochemist in the California Bay Area. Finally moving out on my own so I’ve been looking into furnishings. Since I’m still running stag I figured I should buy all the fun things I want now! I’d wanted a MM when I saw that first one on Reddit but didn’t have funds or reason to make one. Buzzedly bought a Pi3 yesterday so I guess we’re going through with it.

            Very little experience with electronics. I used to build unmanned aerial video platforms (aka drones) as a hobby but that’s a totally different ballgame. I’m a homebrewer with the intention of building myself a four-tap kegerator sometime this or next year. I think it would be cool if I can figure out a way to get my MM to talk to a BrewPi so I can monitor stuff like that from there.

            I’m trying to go through all the top posts here and I’m learning a lot! I think. It all seems straight forward, I just need to figure out what I want. I think for starters it’ll just be a novelty/showoff item for my apartment as I don’t particularly need any of the modules in my current daily life. We’ll see once I actually build it all.

            I think eventually it would be really cool if I could control most of my home network from this mirror. This might be a step into me looking more into HestiaPi. I have to build a home network first though…

            Lastly, why are so many posts deleted? It seems like every other post on here is marked as deleted!

                      @MichMich Hi All,

                      My name is Wayne Taylor, 40, I’m from and live in the UK. I have been messing with computers all my life, from Spectrum, Commodore 64. I’ve always poked at programming from BASIC to C#. I’ve written various small applications for in house companies, nothing public thou. :-(

                      I’ve been poking at the RaspberryPi since it’s release. I want to build a MagicMirror, because I think it will look cool and I want/need my calendar on the wall to remind me whats happening :-)

                      I’ve just joined today and it’s looking really cool. I have ordered my Glass, still have the monitor to order and will need to builder the frame.

                      Thanks for all the hardwork! :-)

                                  Yeah that was really fast! I haven’t even gotten my USB ports to work yet. Still waiting on a pi replacement from Canakit.

                                    Alreet. I’m Mick, from the North East of England. I run my own building company, so as you can imagine, coding etc is an absolute mile away from anything i know :-)).
                                    A friend showed me a ‘magic mirror’ and i thought ’ i HAVE to try to make that’. Well the framework etc was simple for me (having all the necessary tools :-)). However. the ‘coding’ aspect might as well be written in Klingon. I have SOOOOOOO many questions to help get this little project to fruition (hopefully in time for my missus coming back from her holidays in a couple of weeks time :-0 )
                                    Anyhoo… i’ll save all of my questions for my next post. :-)

                                        can i post my questions here, as i’ve already posted a (long winded) topic, entitled ‘New and confused’ and had a response from Mykle 1 (very helpful…and patient :-)).

                                          Mick, at the top of every window of the forum is a line of icons. The left most icon will bring you to “Categories” when you click on it. If you scroll down just a bit on that page you will see “Troubleshooting.” This is where you’ll want to post your questions for help. If you post questions for help somewhere else your question might not be seen or responded to. We’re in the “Introduce Yourself” category right now. Not everyone looks in here, and certainly not to help someone in need, like yourself.
