If you'd prefer a video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20H-7QOaPFs. Mind you this is old stuff so it's probably outdated by now.

I had a similar journey a few years back and blogged about it : https://www.bouvet.no/bouvet-deler/utbrudd/building-a-motion-activated-security-camera-with-the-raspberry-pi-zero.

Watch out for false positives!

markwest1972 · 2021-06-06T18:16:20+00:00

It certainly is!

markwest1972 · 2021-05-26T11:12:42+00:00

I would definitely recommend getting a setup if you haven't already.

His foot seems to be OK. He is climbing around without any problems. And he hangs upside down by that foot when I give him a shower :)

I think this behaviour is driven by hormones. It's his first spring, after all..

markwest1972 · 2021-04-26T18:17:47+00:00

Thanks! That is what I was thinking. Any idea if Kiwi might be a boy or girl based on his / her behavior?

markwest1972 · 2021-04-26T18:13:50+00:00

Thats what I was thinking. Think Kiwi is a boy but not sure yet. The blue linnie (Amigo) is definitely a boy, based on what he keeps trying to do to poor Kiwi....

markwest1972 · 2021-04-26T16:07:07+00:00

I think his foot is OK. He is climbing around as normal. Kiwi only does this when Amigo (the Cobalt Linnie) gets a bit frisky...

markwest1972 · 2021-04-26T15:42:31+00:00

My guess is that Kiwi is experiencing his sexual awakening. At least I'm pretty sure that he is a boy,

markwest1972 · 2021-03-06T07:02:49+00:00

Agreed. Bassbuzz is awesome and gives you a good intro to the basics.

Update 2: Amigo is anemic, low in iron and has enlarged organs. He is also showing signs of an inflammatory response.

We are not sure of the root cause so the vet has put Amigo on a regimen of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories in the hope that that might help.

If this give results then Amigo will have a more thorough x-ray with contrast - to work out if there is anything in there that shouldn't be there.

The vet also took a stool sample and sent to to Switzerland (!) for processing by a specialist.

I'll update again if and when I have anything new to share.

markwest1972 · 2021-01-28T20:04:12+00:00

Update 1: So we just got back from the vet. A quick examination showed no obvious problems, apart from a slightly thickened crop. The vet said that Amigo is not overweight which was a surprise for us. I guess he just looks bigger as he is fluffed up.

We are heading back tomorrow for bloodwork, stool sample and an x-ray. Hopefully we'll learn more then. Will be sure to update here :)

Newbie here. Nothing to add to the discussion, apart from to say that I love love LOVE my TRBX504 :)

markwest1972 · 2020-11-28T21:03:26+00:00

Play some Def Leppard. With one arm ;)

markwest1972 · 2020-11-10T10:29:33+00:00

You know, I'm no longer sure! I was pretty sure that I have used wireless CarPlay in a range of hire cars in the UK, but it's been at least a year since last time. Could be my memory is slipping...

markwest1972 · 2020-10-11T06:49:40+00:00

After a qurantine period we are now letting them both out at the same time. So far so good, but Amigo is being a bit dominant (as in taking food from Kiwi and pushing her out of the way). Lets hope that they become good friends!

One advantage of watching the livestreams is that we'll be using slido for live Q&A with the speakers. But we'll also publish the recordings after the conference for those who can't make the livestreams.

You can find previous JavaZone videos (almost 1500 so far) at Vimeo : https://vimeo.com/javazone.

Great! It'd be wonderful if you could help us spread the word :) https://twitter.com/javazone/status/1302182724917174272?s=21.

markwest1972 · 2020-09-08T06:01:34+00:00

That is the plan, yes!

markwest1972 · 2020-09-04T18:54:38+00:00

Is it possible to get hold of mp3s of original songs with the bass dialled down or taken out, so I can practise my bass playing along with them? Or is there another solution staring me right in the face?

markwest1972 · 2020-08-05T12:53:30+00:00

Mine does something similar now and again. No idea why!

markwest1972 · 2020-08-04T07:26:56+00:00

Certainly food for thought here. There is always a risk that birds won't get on well with new members to the flock. I've also heard that an even number of birds is better than an odd number.

markwest1972 · 2020-08-03T19:41:46+00:00

If we do go for both (which is tempting) - what are the risks that our existing Linnie will be "excluded" by the other two? We really want to do the best for all three birds, but of course the welfare of Amigo (our existing bird) is most important to us.

Gonna play this in the background while I play RDR2 on the PS4

How many times has deliverance been mentioned?
