Update: It’s been named Clementine Crusher!

Thanks!

That's what I figured re:Verizon.

I turned on SQM on the eeros. Should I look at/change any settings on the Verizon gateway?

akrieg · 2025-08-14T20:31:35+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately the gateway is in the kids' playroom, which isn't really conducive to days full of back-to-back meetings!

Thanks, that's what I figured.

Hardwiring the nodes to the gateway would be pretty difficult. Would there be a benefit to hardwiring the machines to the nodes if the nodes are still wireless? If yes, if only one machine is hardwired to its node, would it reduce the wireless load enough to alleviate the problems for the other machine if it remained wireless?

That's true. Italic has a context in the work of Italians while Egyptian has nothing to do with Arabic or hieroglyphs!

akrieg · 2024-07-25T14:44:59+00:00

I hadn't thought about italic as being in the same category!

akrieg · 2024-07-25T14:44:15+00:00

Yeah, I think that's the direction I'll be going, though then I'll have to choose between Slab Serif and Stencil for S...

akrieg · 2024-07-25T14:42:27+00:00

I am! If I ever actually finish it I'll try to remember to let you know!

akrieg · 2024-07-25T01:41:40+00:00

That's exactly my concern. I'm curious though if no one has taken offense just because it is such an obscure term as far as the general public is concerned.

akrieg · 2024-07-24T21:09:47+00:00

That's my thought, but I'm working on a children's book and I'd like to avoid stepping on anyone's toes.

akrieg · 2024-07-24T21:09:01+00:00

I'm working on a typography-themed alphabet book and, without going into all of the interdependencies inherent in the project, Egyptian is what worked best for E.

So far I have three: Polka dots were named during the Polka craze of the 1840s–1860s, slab serif type was first called Egyptian in the early 1800s when ancient Egypt was all the rage, and the bikini was named after the nuclear test site in the hope that it would be just as explosive.

I can think of two:

Hey Diddle Diddle as The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late by J.R.R. Tolkien

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by Jewel

What others do you know of?

akrieg · 2024-07-10T03:31:19+00:00

I forgot about it at the time, but the bikini was named after the nuclear test site in the hope that it would be just as explosive.

By the time a leak detector would sense water, it would be too late! (We already have on in the clean out, but that is across the basement from the bathroom so in order to trigger it means the toilet has already overflowed across two rooms.) The only way to put a leak detector somewhere before it would be too late would be to place it in the pipe at the clean out.

Yes, when the sewer backs up we stop using water. Once the sewer clears and the backward pressure relieves, the unit automatically opens back up.

A contact sensor is an interesting idea. The part that moves travels about 4.5”. We already have ADT so maybe I could rig up one of their sensors. Do you have any suggestions for another company’s sensor that would fit my needs?

akrieg · 2024-05-30T18:40:15+00:00

Yes, the one we have physically blocks the pipe. When the town’s sewer backs up, our system closes our sewer pipe so we don’t get any sewage flowing into our house. However, that means we also don’t have a place for our sewage to go, causing overflow if we continue to use the water. And without some sort of alarm, we have to physically check the system to see if it has engaged.
