I would like to say only a few words about the book of the same title as this post, by Henry S Warren, Jr, as this is nothing new, probably well-known already and rightly so. It had two editions so far, the first was in 2002. I bought the second, as pictured above (used, in very good condition, hardcover, sent […]

Στην πραγματικότητα δε θέλω να μιλήσω γενικά για τον Χρόνο, ένα τέτοιο post δε θα μπορούσε να ήταν ποτέ σύντομο και περιεκτικό, όπως μου αρέσει. Είναι ωραίος τίτλος όμως. Θέλω να μιλήσω για τον χρόνο που πέρασε από πάνω μου ή εγώ από μέσα του, ή συμβαίνει ενώ υπάρχω, ή τέλος πάντων… Ήταν τα γενέθλιά μου στις 21 και πολύς […]
Happy new year, everyone! The end of 2016 was as the rest of the year, busy, without much to mention. The one good thing for me was this: I sold my old Kawasaki KLE 500 and bought a slightly used (for a bike first used in 2012) Aprilia Shiver 750. You can see it below. I liked this model […]
I just made this banner image for my home page slider with inkscape. I like this software, it has saved the day more than once for me. I have used it for making labels for products of my day job, making placing diagrams for the pick and place machine guy, even for modifying postscript files (silkscreens) generated with old EDA […]
I have changed my mind regarding the project I had started with LoRa modules. I will use it as part of a commercial product for the company I am working for, and since this product will need certification, I decided to change and choose another module. I will leave HopeRF’s RFM9xW in favor of Microchip’s RN2483. RFMs are cheaper but […]
I understand from what I ‘ve read lately, that LoRa technology is gaining on, and in places overtakes competing solutions, in WAN deploying solutions. This is true especially in outdoors applications, but with good penetration in buildings and good and easier to achieve network stability, as below sources show, the future seems very promising. Deploying a Wide Area Network for […]
It has been a while since my last post, and here is why: I said that this blog will be about things I love, in other words things that give me pleasure, or motive for living, or good vibes at least. The last couple of months were filled with nothing but bad vibes. One thing I love is certainly my […]
We all know Microchip, right? When i read about Microchip adopting LoRa technology last August, I was expecting something interesting, and it seems I was right. Microchip already had solutions based on almost every wireless technology known to man (MiWi -their own thing-, WiFi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE, ZigBee, and some more 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz modules). Not having a solution […]
I just wanted to share my excitement for upgrading the night before yesterday my PC, from opensuse 12.2 that I had for ages, to opensuse tumbleweed 20150107. I did it from the network and everything went smoothly! I was so optimistic (or desperate) that I started the procedure and then I went to sleep. The next day I waked up, […]
Lately I was playing around with a kit I had bought from ICStation: MAX7219 Dot Matrix Module Control Display DIY kit. I liked it and bought it because it is compact, small and cheap. I got 4 pieces a couple of months ago, and soldered them the same day I got them! Other obligations took my mind off them and […]
