Sett opp enkel LED-drevet utendørs belysning
It’s getting warm out and my wife loves entertaining. This weekend she wanted to throw a party in a really scenic park near our house and tasked me with coming up with a clever way to illuminate the whole affair. I didn’t really want to spend the money on solar lights or anything expensive for that matter (since it could get misplaced, left behind, etc.) I stumbled on a really great little hack at the Evil Mad Scientist blog. He used cheap mason jars, LEDs, and a coin cell batteries to make what looks like a garden solar light but without the expense, you know, of buying an actual solar light. So clever! The only thing I’d suggest is that you buy your coin cell batteries online. If you go to the local store to buy them, even a specialty battery store, they’re a total rip off. You can find bulk generic coin cell batteries online for 30-60 cents each instead of $2-3 retail.
Som om det ikke var åpenbart, vi elsker å tinker allerede, drømmer vi allerede på måter å gjøre denne enkle hacken enda kulere. Han noterer seg i blogginngangen at myntcellebatteriet gir nok juice til å telle LED-lampen hvor som helst fra noen dager til over en uke, avhengig av LED. Det virker som en stor liten forbedring på denne hacken ville være innføringen av en billig trykknappbryter, slik at du kunne bytte lysene på og av uten å måtte skille fra batteriet / ledningskretsen. Så igjen er hakkens poeng å skape belysning med så liten innsats som mulig! Takk for at du delte Ted!
E-post filer til Dropbox for å administrere fildelingsprogrammer
Craig skriver inn med en smart tips om bruk av Dropbox for å administrere fildeling:
After I read your guide to setting up a watch folder in your Dropbox directory to remotely trigger torrent downloads I started doing some tweaking. Because it was the most compatible with a variety of desktop and tablet apps I use… I really wanted a way to email.torrent and.NZB files into the watch folder. I ended up combining your guide with this guide on setting up a way to dump email attachments into a designated folder. The result is an email address I can send file sharing files to that automatically dumps them into Dropbox and then loads them into the file sharing client. Bam! Thanks for getting me started on this project.
Det er en veldig genial måte å gå på, Craig. Takk for at du skrev inn!
Administrer og last ned Fresh Wallapers med Wally
There are lots of wallpaper rotation apps, but I have yet to find one that does as much as Wally. On top of rotating your existing wallpaper collection you can download fresh wallpaper from tons of sources automatically (like Flickr, DeviantArt, Panoramio, and more). Even if an picture service isn’t supported, someone can whip up a module to support it independently. On top of all that you can customize just about everything the application does. It makes the simple wallpaper management in Windows look like a caveman’s tool!
Det er gratis og kryssplattform for oppstart. Hvis du er seriøs om tapestyring, ser dette ut som et godt valg. Takk for at du delte Deb!
