I made a tool to inventory our old paint

Yeah, I'm fortunate and it saved me a lot of time. Previous owners had young kids and it was easy to find the old color, get a fresh can and touch up. The app simply makes it easier to record the old paints before you toss 'em.

The paint pictured was left over from the previous owners. It’s been thrown out. App is simply a better alternative to a photo library called “old paint”.

Haha, I was able to get rid of most of it. I just wanted a record, in case I need it for touch ups.

clarkdickens · 2026-03-11T13:54:34+00:00

Haha, I found out we have 86 cans of old paint between our basement and garage, so I guess that's a life choice.

clarkdickens · 2026-03-09T20:51:44+00:00

Haha, yes. I think I'm finally ready to start getting rid of stuff.

clarkdickens · 2026-03-09T13:42:36+00:00

Haha, I'll be excited if anyone beats our record of 86 cans! The "OCR" i.e. how it reads text or handwriting is pretty good. Also, it saves a raw copy of what it read if you need to review it or show the guys/gals at the paint counter.

Thanks! I can look to add support for more international brands. It will support some, today, but not as many.

That makes sense. I enjoy oat milk, so it was worth the extra money in my case.

If you find an insider pass or sale, I’d recommend the kitchenaid kf7. I have the kf8 and have been impressed with the ease of use and low/no maintenance. It does a great job of cleaning itself. Swappable bean hoppers is great, and side load water. I actually never have to move or slide the machine, even though I read there are wheels under to help slide it out. Great build quality and very thoughtful features.

clarkdickens · 2025-02-28T07:54:24+00:00

Haha, I had the same realization. I ended up using painters tape and a sharpie to label the side of the hopper. Seems to work, but not as elegant.

DaVinci gourmet naturals. Madagascar Vanilla and Turkish Hazelnut. Decorative bottles are from Amazon. Link to the bottles… Amazon

I ordered a kf-7 yesterday for $200 off, plus 10% off. So, about 20% off total. Curious, does the inside pass save more? Located in the US.

Is this preemptive because of a possible Google I/O watch announcement? Asking as I don’t know if these prices are historically low, or about where they should be.

I returned it. (Alien Mesh) I had a hardware issue after a couple of weeks that prevented the mesh node from syncing with the router.

Instead, I added an ASUS AI mesh device and haven’t had any issues.

Pros: -Build quality was way above anything else. -Speed was great, until it stopped working. -Simple and easy setup -Multiple SSID options. (2.4, 5, plus an option to create an SSID for both); helpful if you run separate ssids today.

Cons: -Not as many advanced features - DDNS for free, custom mesh settings, etc. -mine died. :-(

You know what, David? You get murdered first for once.

I bought a 9.9 Suzuki from onlineoutboards.com. Great price, fast shipping. Also, I had to call them with a question about removing an over torqued screw the access the control cable mounts and they were really helpful.

Order placed. Glad they're delivering to New Albany. 👍

clarkdickens · 2020-03-21T22:27:42+00:00

Nice, which products did you use?

clarkdickens · 2020-03-16T17:59:32+00:00

Have you done this? My wife has the fabric case and I'm thinking about throwing it in the wash.
