It wasn’t exactly my plan.

I’m sure somebody who is an expert in human psychology could shed more light than I, but there’s something about fluffy objects that brings us joy and comfort.

It had been a dream of mine for quite some time to work in software engineering.

Anybody who’s worked in software engineering – be that as an engineer, program manager, designer, or any one of the numerous other roles essential to the delivery of quality software – will be well aware of the term “technical debt”.

I’ve been building up my smart home setup for the last couple of years, and it generates a lot of data – from the cat’s weight, to the humidity in each room, and like any Smart Project full of sensors, the question becomes what do we do with all that data?

Hello again!

A few years ago, I was working on a team who had been working with TFS project for some time.

Naturally, we want our pets to be as healthy and happy as possible, and just as with humans, one valuable metric to know is their weight.

A career plan: we should all have one, right?

Following on from last year’s IoT roundup, I thought I’d take another moment to reflect back on the current state of my smart home; how some of the previous projects have aged since first writeup, what’s new and what I’m looking to tackle next.
