What are you working on this weekend?

I'm working on getting my semi truck to Chico CA. I left Laramie on I-80 westbound this morning, having been shut down the previous two days for wind and ice.

That road is still closed to light high profile vehicles, but this trip I'm almost at max legal 80,000 lbs (I'm at 78,500), so I was able to drive. Carefully.

My test suite includes arriving with all eighteen wheels on the ground Tuesday morning, with Donner Pass still to go.

Programming some sensor nodes for a custom IoT heating controller for my home.

Around the house there will be a bunch of sensors connected to the WiFi network, talking via MQTT to a raspberry pi. A few of them will control the heating system.

Temperature and humidity are logged and shown on a nice webpage.

Working on getting more familiar with Gatsby - thinking of moving my and my brother's substack onto our own static site so we have more control over it. Mainly don't like all the trackers that substack adds to the newsletter.

Another reason I'm considering a custom site is that I'm interested in adding 3D visualizations and tools to our articles (which are mostly technical breakdowns of our engineering projects).

I am polishing Deployment from Scratch[0] and preparing some Docker examples.
