New York apartment, so hallway=kitchen! I’ve got a mirror in the entry way so that I can glance at it on the way out and find out at a glance what’s going on. A couple of months ago, the mirror died (FS corruption on the SD card, which I’ve since eliminated) and it took me a while to get around to fixing - it was weird looking at the mirror when it was dead, and not seeing information. We’ve really become reliant on this!

Anyhow, I’ve put up a couple of blog entries about setting up the mirror and configuring diskless booting.

Description

Hi Mirror Folk!

This module combines a few different pieces of data about remote places to give a handy one spot to lookup: time, weather and currency. I’m still very much tinkering with how it displays the info, but it’s at the point that I’m using it all the time so thought I’d ask for some feedback or suggestions around styling, since that’s definitely not my forte!

Just created v1 MMM-Kanji-Random that does this job. No stroke order yet. It’s a start!

@Mykle1 I realize it’s not the most … informative… of modules, but I was playing around with the idea of combining it with face recognition, to show the freakish eye when it’s someone it doesn’t recognize :).

This was with the new electron version and the GL drivers. I had some of the other eye candy URLs on the screen for a day or so, playing around and no issue. However, just that particular selection it would crash in about 10 minutes. Weird. Possibly the memory usage was high on the others - I didn’t do any debug until it broke, of course.

I’m happy to play around with more debugging.

Description:

This will display (and update on a regular basis) a random Kanji character, with information about that character including Kunyomi, Onyomi, english translation(s). The set from which the kanji is chosen has a few filters including JLPT N1-5 and elementary grade levels. This is an initial release- I would like to add in more features over time. Collaborators and ideas welcome!
