why so serious

,

So my blog today starts off in Burger King.

A black guy hit on Kelly and tried to rape her so I had to go all lesbian and save her.

stupid black people.

So we saw all these wet floor signs and this is what we thought of

THIS IS SPARTA

except for one that looked like a slipping hooker. Dunno what one would put on that haha.

So Im moving back into my old room because my mom is a loser. Whatever. Im gonna push my two beds together and move my couch and have a P.I.M.P room

People
In
My
Place

XD

So this lady is over...dunno what she is to me...aunt? cousin? Not sure

Anyway this morning she was like "Why are you so serious all the time? Do you ever smile?"

Then I ROFLED

well not really cause I was outside and it was hot XD

but yep going to the football game to watch some fail

Im blaming Taylor for this....




So I was just surfing Facebook on Google Chrome when Taylor insulted Google...

Then it froze.

Then I clicked "kill"

but it didnt kill...it just killed Facebook (thought it would close the application)

and made a sad face at me =[

But I decided I wanna work for google. I mean why not?
well are you asking why?

*You get to choose between two medical insurance companies (three in california)
*Full dental
*Full vision...where you can get almost any sort of contacts or frames
*some transportation to certain places (for free)
*EAP (helps with children, pets, other family...)
*Life insurance...with the ability to pay for even more
*short term disability (when you are burnt out and stuff) as well as long term disability
*Business travel accident insurance
*college savings
*401K
*Maternal AND Paternal leave (even covered when you adopt a child....and they will help pay if you adopt)
*Tuition reimbursement

Grandma is a fag

,

Grandma, mom, Danny, and I went to K-mart the other day...and I told grandma that if she did this one thing (dont even remember) then she is a fag. She then went on to tell me later that she is a fag. Then she wanted to buy this stupid blow up penguin thing and I told her that shed get chlamydia if she bought it. She yelled out in the store that she wanted chlamydia.

LOL fail grandma.

So the picture on the left is a 24 month onsie... It says Stud Muffin seeks cupcakes. *Must be sweet. I totally wish I had a kid so I could have an excuse to buy it lol. Its effing cuuute. I mean the cutest thing I have ever seen for a baby boy (or lesbian baby I guess...if youre that into your kid being a lesbian).

Oh anyway...earlier that day we went to Frys. I asked where I could find Nero or any other DVD ripping software. The guy went on about how it didnt void copyright. Do I look stupid? I mean wtf!!! So now fully irritated he tried to get me to buy Roxio...which I beyond HATE. I gave him the stupid look (the punch you face Tom always talks about but times 100) and just turned up my iPod and walked away with Nero.

Then I saw Kelly and was like ZOMG KELLY I LOVE YOUUUZ

anyway...Ima go steal some candy and a soda from my diabetic fag of a grandmother XD

Humboldt Microcontrollers Group July 24 2014 Meeting Notes

,
Redwood Curtain Brewing Company
This is a summary of the July 24 meeting of the Humboldt Microcontrollers Group at The Link in Arcata, California, behind the Redwood Curtain. Speaking of the curtain, maybe the Humboldt Microcontrollers Group should schedule an upcoming meeting to be held at Redwood Curtain Brewing Company. Microcontrollers can be used in brewing...

One of the reasons for this blog and for the formation of the Humboldt Microcontrollers Group is the redwood curtain, which is both an actual and perceived barrier between Humboldt County and the rest of the world. In many ways, that curtain is a much appreciated and highly beneficial barrier, preserving natural beauty, creating a slower pace of life, and leading to a better balance between work and non-work activities. But in other ways, that barrier brings economic challenges and limits both the job opportunities for people and growth opportunities for
The curtain between Humboldt and the rest of the world
companies. One way to reduce the redwood curtain barrier for people and companies in this region who work with microcontrollers (MCUs) is to connect, strengthen, and promote the Humboldt microcontroller community. This blog and the Humboldt Microcontrollers Group are both working to connect, strengthen and promote that community.

So, the main topic of the July 24 meeting of the MCU group was the #8 Jeremy Blum Arduino video tutorial (see also my previous post about that tutorial). The focus of the #8 tutorial is SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), and Jeremy uses an AD5204 digital potentiometer to demonstrate the use of SPI. Ed Smith used a different digital potentiometer than the hard-to-find AD5204 when he did the #8 tutorial exercise, so the sketch Jeremy wrote in the tutorial doesnt work correctly because of the differences in the two potentiometers. Well have to figure out an appropriate alternative potentiometer and accompanying code for other Humboldt people who want to do the #8 tutorial exercise. One more item to add to the list of things-to-do regarding developing a set of effective learning tools for people in this region interested in MCUs.

No one at the meeting had actually worked through the exercise in tonights video. Since none of the people at the meeting tonight had done the exercise, we didnt spend too much time talking about either the technology of a digipot or about interesting or unique aspects of SPI. Maybe at a future meeting? My plan is to talk with Ed, Nick and anyone else interested to agree on a good alternative digital potentiometer and to modify or rewrite the Arduino sketch to work with the digipot we choose.

In addition to the #8 tutorial, the following topics were discussed at the meeting:
  • Somewhat related to the #8 tutorial, Bob asked about using a digital potentiometer (or other components / circuitry) to match color and intensity in a set of three LEDs that are simultaneously given the same input signal but seem to generate different colors. The LEDs are Cree PLCC4 (plastic leaded chip carrier) 3-in-1 SMD LEDs. Based on the little bit we could figure out during tonights meeting about how the LEDs are powered and controlled, Nick suggested the first step should be to put an oscilloscope on the lines going to each 3-in-1 LED to confirm theyre all seeing the same signal. Nick also said its likely the LEDs are adjusted by PWM (pulse width modulation) rather than by varying the power to them, so the digipot would probably not be a possible way to adjust the colors. If all three are seeing the same signal, it would appear unit variability in the LED color output may be the issue. The spec for the LEDs says "Tolerance of measurement of dominant wavelength is ±1 nm" so that spec appears pretty tight. I need to research the issue of bin codes and figure out how to determine if the 3-in-1 LEDs we purchased for this order have green and blue LEDs all from the same bin code. According to the datasheet, the red LEDs only have one bin code (which identifies the wavelength range for that LED), but the blue and green LEDs for this particular component each have seven bin codes. So if some blues were at the bottom of the wavelength range and others were at the top, that might result in a noticeable color difference even with the same applied PWM signal. Of course, keep in mind that my knowledge about PWM signals applied to 3-in-1 LEDs, or other types of RGB LEDs, or even single color LEDs is extremely limited. Researching this will definitely be a learning exercise.
  • HLH frame
  • An update about the Humboldt Laser Harp (HLH) project was given to the group by Nick and Ed. Nick has the frame of the HLH just about completed. In the upper picture on the right you can see the laser harp frame. If you look near the top of the lower picture on the right, a bit of a laser beam is visible -- first sighting of the infamous HLH laser beams. One outcome of tonights meeting is that Gordon will be working with Nick to design and build a base for the harp. Gordon also had an interesting suggestion for laser beam presence enhancement in brightly lighted areas. He suggested shooting the laser through a diffusing or side-emitting light pipe for part of the distance from the laser to the light sensor.
  • From a HLH programming standpoint, Ed has been crafting the code that will convince the Humboldt heavenly harp to generate many marvelous melodies. In version 1.0 of the HLH, the goal is to have a demonstration device that produces simple tunes and has a reasonable degree of casual interactivity with curious members of the general public. Future versions are envisioned that incorporate music-correlated lighting effects and more musical instrument capabilities, e.g. lots of simultaneous notes, note strength and fade effects, simulation of different musical instruments, allowing notes from several octaves, different type of controls for the musicians playing the HLH, etc. As with many other maker
    HLH laser beam
    topics, there are lots of people who have specialized in the field of DIY electronic music, and much of what well be doing in the early days of the Humboldt Electronic Light Orchestra will be research on whats already been done, connecting with people in the DIY electronic music field who are willing to share their knowledge or who are interested in what were doing, and starting to develop new (as far as we can tell) electronic music ideas of our own.
  • The plan is for Nick and Ed to get together this weekend, connect the hardware with the software, flip the switch, and see what happens on the HLH. Stay tuned for updates and videos...
  • We discussed the upcoming August 2 maker fair in Eureka, which has been organized by Origin Design Lab. Nick and Gordon will figure out if Gordon has any maker projects that would be good to have at the Humboldt Makers table. Shawn Dean from InPrinting will be at the table doing 3D printing demonstrations. It would be great if other Humboldt Makers can spend an hour or a couple hours at the maker fair, which sounds like it will primarily be a craft fair aimed at being a selling opportunity for local craftspeople. Even if you cant be at the Humboldt Makers table, if you have an item that will be interesting to the general public, please contact Nick Appelmans or me (my email is arcatabob (at) gmail {dott} com).
  • Justin suggested the Humboldt Makers might consider doing a minor repair on the 3D printer that InPrinting nearly finished building some months ago, then figure out what else needs to be done to get the unit printing. We can discuss that at the next meeting as either an activity to spend a couple Thursday meetings on, or a project that one or several people would work on as time becomes available.
Hope to see lots of people at the next Humboldt Microcontrollers Group meeting, which will be on August 7.

Monsters In My Bed

,

Sometimes I cant sleep. Sometimes its insomnia...other times its the monsters under my bed. The monsters I have created with past memories that bring back pure pain. I think most girls have them...if not everyone. Remember that time so and so called you fat? Ugly? A slut? Stupid? How about a horrible person? Of course you do.

So tonight they are here again stabbing me with words. I didnt feel safe anywhere as a child and I dont feel safe from these words now. Im not sure why. It didnt turn out to be the best day today but it by all means wasnt a bad day.

I used to think it was funny that people saw me as strong...so invincible. Hah! Really everything just hurt so much that it was hard to feel anything. 

Things get better though, right?

Friday the 10 th December 2010

,
Aquaponics is a farming method inspired by ancient farming systems from the Aztecs to Egypt, based on the recycling of nutrients in nature. In the aquaponic fish tank, the fish consume food and excrete manure, algea grows in the nutrient-rich water, and uneaten fish food falls to the bottom. These unused nutrients would....(This is from a site that seemingly has not been updated for two years UNFORTUNATELY.But maybe the drive toward A/P is still strong there. Lets hope so...)

How To Sex Tilapia

,
Left is male/right is female
Sexing tilapia is sometimes important
So once your aquaponics is set up and all the problems are solved and the vegetables are growing, the fish is happy and then...you think, well I think I am finally at a point that I can sell some of my fish. (note once you do this it might ruin the great hobby of it and turn it into business of it. youll see) So to get the best results and profit you will need to figure out whats what in the tilapia sex world. 
 
Most farmers wish to only cultivate males. Male tilapias grow bigger faster and yield a higher profit for aquacultures. So as soon as possible the males are recognized and the females are separated out. Sexing of tilapia is tricky and requires practice. Even experienced professionals will normally get a small percent wrong.

When a tilapia fingerling has reached a weight of 1 ounce it can generally be sexed by looking at the genital papilla. The genital papilla is located right behind the anus of the fish. If the genital papilla has one opening you are looking at a male tilapia.

 Males have only one opening and both urine and milt will pass through this hole. If you observe two openings, then you are looking at a female tilapi. This is because tilapia eggs do not pass through the same hole as urine. 

If youre inexperienced and are having a hard time, try placing a drop of dye, such as food coloring  on the genital region. The color should make it easier to distinguish the openings. 

 We usually place the females in another tank and from there we can decide to continue to let them breed (most of the time) or sell or give them away. If you have chickens, these small fish are perfect snacks and add high protein to the poultrys diet. It doesnt give the eggs a bad taste either as long as you are not feeding the chicken only fish for its diet. We suggest giving the females away to young people as a introduction to aquaponics and gardening.

If you are looking for tilapia, that is fairly easy.
You can find it in the search engines by putting in "where to buy tilapia".

I use two different companies and both seem to have good prices and great quality.

Hello Guys and Galls

,
Just a little addition to last issues focus and of course for first time people who missed it. (Its under this one).
The range of FREE food for omnivorous fish includes the Duckweed, Black Soldier Fly Lavae, Letuce, Water Cabbage, Worms (if youre rich)* plus the crusty water dwellers. There are plenty of videos on Youtube.com about collecting and preparing suitable mixes. Oh yes algae:

Most of the plants that live on the intertidal rocky shore, or under the water along our seashores, are algae. Most people call these algae plants seaweed, or kelp.
Because of their location (Remember they make up a major portion of the worlds natural salt water aquaponic systems)they dont need roots. As I just said Major portion the rest basically are sea grasses which do have roots. 

The algea feed through their leaf-like fronds taking neutrient from the surounding water. They have "Holdfasts" which is a near to roots as they come.

Again, Algea reproduce differently to flowering plants. They are more like ferns, mosses, lichens and liverworts because they give off spore. 

Anyhow there is a wealth of information on the net and it is really interesting stuff. So if you have some time up your sleeve, why not Google algea and have ten minutes of learning. 

Now lets do the thing:

(CNNMoney.com) -- Forget the conventional wisdom that says veggies must be grown on vast farms in the Midwest. What if commercial-scale crops took root inside cavernous city warehouses, without sunlight or soil?
Call it urban farming 2.0. Over the past decade, city agriculture has largely been the province of non-profit organizations, school groups, renegade gardeners and restaurants sowing seeds on rooftops. But the newest breed of city farmers are businessfolk. In their hands, urban agriculture is scaling up to meet a rising demand in city centers for safe, organic and locally grown food.One such indoor farm opened in September in Vancouver, growing lettuce and spinach inside an....

                                                     ...oooOooo... 

If you are thinking of setting up your own aquaponic system but are still not very aware of what this presupposes, then here are some things which will help you understand better its requirements. The first thing you will need to know about this system is that it combines the principles of aquaculture with those of hydroponic gardening, thus resulting a new and highly effective way of growing plants and fish at the same time. With a tank of no more than 20 square feet and some netted pots you will be able to grow enough....

Aquaponics Quarantine system:
Finally, I moved the waterfall tank back by the two North Grow beds on my big system and turned that into my new Aquaponics Quarantine system. Tank over 200 gallons and about 200 gallons worth of grow bed.
That should be enough to make a decent quarantine system I would hope.
Trick with a small aquaponics system though is that there needs to be enough flow and aeration to keep the dissolved oxygen up for the fish as well. The choice of pump for such an aquaponics system is very important. I found that with too many fish, tilapia would not eat well if I didn’t have supplemental aeration in that tank....

Green-Acres, Nelson and Pade, partners - Kansas City Aquaponics Project
This week John and I travelled to Kansas City to meet with Ms. Carol Coe and the Green Acres Community Garden group. We began talking with Ms. Coe over a year ago about expanding their community garden program into aquaponics and education. A group from Green Acres toured our greenhouse in November of 2009 and, now after a great deal of planning, working and collaborating, they are funded and ready to start the project.
Green Acres has partnered with the City, the school district and other organizations to put this plan into action. The project will utilize abandoned (but very nice) greenhouses at East High School to launch an aquaponics program...

Some might ask me how I manage to use an indexing valve on my big system CHIFT PIST set up when my pump runs constantly. Well this might not be the best layout for using an indexing valve but I’m managed to make it work.

I designed a low pressure aquaponics automated valve that can still work with only about 18 inches of water column. The indexing valve in question has a gravity modified stem and with a huge flow of water with that 18 inches of water column it has been working well for about a year and a half.

I think I have finally found a suitable pump for our new aquaponics system. Not that the MD5 pump won’t do the job, but I haven’t found one for sale in Europe. The pump I found earlier is an internal one and the head of the Fish Department (my girlfriend ;-) ) would prefer if the pump was placed outside the fish tank to get a cleaner look, and I agree so I was off to find an external pump. People around here working with aquariums refer to such a device as a “bucket pump” so I searched

Visitors, for example, have been able to learn about aquaponics -- a state-of-the-art approach to modern agriculture that combines the cultivation of plants and aquatic animals to create a mutually-sustainable environment -- both formally and informally since the summer of 2010.

In the pursuit of happiness

,
Many people dont know the constitution, let alone any quotes from it.

Life - Well I have that. Sometimes I dont feel like it but I do.

Liberty - Yeah I kinda have that too. If Liberty is to govern yourself, however, my government is doing poorly because of...

The pursuit of happiness - oh yeah. The world is rushing by. I have tried to get through school the normal way...with a job and such but its not working. Unfortunately I know my rights and am pretty ballsy. I am not afraid to stand up for myself which has led management at work to fear me. Fear causes chaos in this sense. They watch me, target me, speak of me, but wont look at me and rarely talk to me. Management is poor at Wally World anyway and the company...well were slaves that is all. We are given incentives to stay with them so we wont go off and see that the world can be better. Clearly Im not happy here. The issue is that this place has turned me into a grump. Things I could normally handle in life are no longer tolerable. Im not super woman...I can only take so much tension.

So my crazy plan...QUIT! Yes thats right you heard me...Q-U-I-T! But in this economy? April you must be MAD! Yeah quite frankly but I can sit here worrying about the economy, be miserable, and not take the chances that are coming to me, OR I could do something about it.

But what chances???

Most places I have applied for (grooming salons, kennels, vet assistant jobs) ALL require experience. Now I find out shelters GIVE this experience. So why not run with it? I is my life after all!

But how will I survive?

Its not like food doesnt come from the Earth...

Ok well honestly some foods dont but do I really need those?

Everything else isnt expensive. Toilet paper, detergent (which I make), soap (which is also my detergent), toothpaste...thats like $10 every three months. Its not like I pay rent. Why am I not taking advantage of such a thing?

But in all honesty I do plan on getting some cash in the form of candle making. Soy candles with hemp wicks = very little pollution. Yes they are hard to find and, for some reason, are expensive. No they are not expensive to make. hmmm. Im not planning on getting rich. Even with the job Im with, I cant afford school and either way would need financial aid for it.

So my PLAN!!!

1) save up $2000 ish. Can probably be done in a couple of months. This is for stuff like a bike, pots, and plants.

Thats it.

seriously.

Aquaponics Backyard Systems
By K Bray
Backyard Aquaponics Grow your own organic fish and vegetables in your backyard.On a global level producing enough safe food to meet the demands of a constant growing population is becoming more and more a daunting challenge. To grow organic crops fresh water and soil is required and there is no new soil being produced so the demand at some point is going to over ride the supply.

Aquaponics Gardens Take A Little Time Before Being Ready For Planting
An aquaponic garden is a much different way to grow plants than what people are accustom to, but they are very simple to set up and to maintain. There are some things about this way of farming that people will have to learn and get used to. But after seeing the results it can produce and the simplicity of the system, it can become a life changing experience for those interested in growing their own food.
                                                 ...oooOooo...

Aquaponics is the marriage of aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (the soilless growing of plants) that grows fish and plants together in one integrated system. The fish waste provides an organic food source for the growing plants and the plants provide a natural filter for the water the fish live in. The third participants are the microbes...

Developing sustainable food sources to meet the demands of a growing population is a challenge. The availability of fresh water is increasingly limited, especially in urban areas, along with land and resources for producing crops and meat. In Australia, for example, water restrictions are in enforced in most regions of the country that prevent people from

From The Aquaponics Source
Commercial Aquaponics Training
I meet new people almost every day who are interested in pursuing commercial aquaponics and ask me for direction. They usually have no background in farming, hydroponics or aquaculture but are looking to take their lives on a new path. They want to be a part of the unique potential for global change that commercial aquaponics offers.

The Symbiotic Relationship of Aquaponics
The symbiotic relationship of aquaponics is much clearer if you understand the ways in which each of the farming methods offers up its faults to the other, and gives back by accepting faults for itself. A complete ecosystem can be achieved just by allowing nature to do what comes naturally - correcting itself with adaptation.
