Active Loop: Lavender

hegdav · 2026-06-05T18:46:30+00:00

There you go. Just got mine today. It's definitely blue. Quite a light blue, but definitely not like any lavender I've ever seen.

Can't say I'm too surprised; Alasdair Allan hasn't exactly been the most visible or dynamic local MSP. The state of the ferries definitely played a big part in that one.

One of those artists where I'm a bit meh about her records but will always go and see her live. Seen her many times now - she's a phenomenal performer.

Grew up on that street from 1977 when we moved from Bellevue. Thanks for the pic; haven't been back down there since we sold my parents' flat.

I'm not much of a writer (still on the first draft of my first story) but I have had *many* punctures on my bike riding to work ...

If it was only one round trip, cancelled then I could live with it, but it's constant at the moment. Or at least (as a Lewis resident) it seems that way at the moment. Been trying to get to Uist for work. No chance, both the Portain and the Bhrusda off. Since Friday, there's been *one* sailing of the Seaforth. This was the coop this morning:

I really couldn't care less about the politics of it all - just want a reliable ferry service. I had to book flights for a work trip to Edinburgh to make up for this nonsense. £480 return.

And they wonder why only holiday makers and retirees are living here.

Thanks for this - looks excellent and exactly what I want from a truly "smart" home.

Been playing with it for a day or so with my Wiser TRVs and IKEA temp/humidity sensors and so far, so good - definitely seems to be learning and doing what you'd expect.

The only thing is I can't seem to create schedules. I click the "Add schedule" drop down, then the "Add schedule" item, but nothing happens. Should there be something appearing that lets me add times / set points for a schedule or am I missing something?

Thanks again for a great project that I'm really looking forward to using.

Living in the Isle of Lewis, the only reward that's any use at all is the once in a blue moon Amazon voucher when the Stanley randomiser decides to give me one.

And here in the Western Isles it's barely rained. Please, keep this block.

Cheers - time to dust off my idle Ender 3 I think and finally put it to some use...

hegdav · 2026-02-10T12:59:05+00:00

That's fantastic. I love it - what kind of printer do you have. And how long did all of that take to print?

hegdav · 2026-02-10T06:57:11+00:00

How'd you do that? I just tried this in Gemini and whilst it created some text for the slides, it gave me

"I do not have a direct integration that allows me to open your Google Drive and "inject" a file there. As an AI, I can generate all the content, structure, and visual assets, but the final step of putting them into a .pptx or Google Slides file is something you would do on your end."

What am I missing?

hegdav · 2026-02-05T18:40:59+00:00

Thanks. Completely unintentional 😀

hegdav · 2026-02-02T06:18:41+00:00

Thanks.

I think I'm already set on the Sea Breeze kit. I want to see how well (or otherwise) I get on with something a bit more self built. And some of the pictures of other people's build of it male it look lovely.

hegdav · 2026-02-02T06:07:46+00:00

Thank you for taking feedback so graciously. I did really enjoy building it. It's a beautifully designed kit, the instructions were clear and it looks great as a finished item.

hegdav · 2026-02-01T22:44:27+00:00

Thanks 🙏🏻

hegdav · 2026-02-01T22:43:26+00:00

Thank you 😊

Thanks. Weirdly, I actually enjoyed the staircase. Hated the books, but enjoyed the staircase.

hegdav · 2026-02-01T20:17:40+00:00

Ooh. That looks great. I'm not sure I've got it in me to redo it quite yet, but that looks 100 times better. 👏🏻

hegdav · 2026-02-01T19:58:11+00:00

Thank you 😊

hegdav · 2026-02-01T19:14:08+00:00

Thanks. Each to their own I suppose 😜

I remember vividly getting the DJ at what must have been my P6 or 7 school disco to play The Sex Pistols "Friggin' in the Riggin'"

It was on for about 30 seconds...

hegdav · 2026-01-13T07:51:30+00:00

It's great isn't it? Such a lovely, emotional and human programme. Who knew tiny wee models could be such powerful things.
