I have a new name for our boot of our #Hyundai i10
"The rear glove compartment"

In our new #Home we have 4 #solar panels.

I honestly was expecting them to be nothing more than a bureaucratic exercise and be of no real world to use.

We didn't have an in house smart meter, so I had no idea what was happening and when we did finally get one. I put it in my desk and forgot about it until this week.

To my amazement we weren't using any electric from the grid, in fact we were exporting some.

I had all the usual household things on, and my PC, #HomeServer and #3Dprinting

Kido wants to play one of pixel art games as Mummy and Nana play.
if I want to remove adverts it's an subscription
they are between £7 to £9 a week , not a typo yes a week!

I don't like the fact they seem to be the scammy ones that require pressing "skip"
trying to get an 8yr old to not tap randomly isn't happening.

I also have no control over the advertising that might get shown.

so loaded up Godot and all the tabs for research making my own even for just her

I'm in the process of designing and making AA and AAA battery charger to mount on to an IKEA SKÅDIS pegboard.

The main features so far (on paper and in my mind)

a "loading bin" at the top to hold unsorted batteries
they are automatically fed regardless of polarity in to the charging area then ejected once fully charged with a possible sorting in the AAA, AA and failed bins at the bottom.

i'm mostly posting it as it makes it public, and I *might* pull my finger out more

My pc is on, and I'm 3d printing and all the usual household stuff is on, and we are currently using no electricity from the grid
even with just our few panels :)

this makes me a happy chappy
