Sometimes you want to display some text that doesn't fit in it's boundaries, for example a one-line title at the top of the page, which might be too long to be displayed on a mobile device. Then you have to cut off the text and somehow show the user ...

I'm mostly done with the hardware now, so I'll present the overall design in this post and explain my solutions to some challenges I encountered along the way. There will be another post on software later.

Final Design

I'm quite far with the build now, and I'll talk about specific software and hardware parts later on. In this post I'll outline what I changed about the initial concept, and why I made those changes.

1. I went with a 27 inch Philips LCD ...

I recently saw multiple posts about smart mirrors, so I decided to give this a try myself, and I want to document the process, and whether I succeed, here. This first part is about figuring out what components to use, what should be possible once it' ...

Yesterday I've set up a new Web project that contains a static file server for html and Javascript for the front end, as well as a NodeJs server for the backend. Both are secured via SSL and have their own subdomains. The whole setup wasn't super sim ...

I wanted to try some simple projects using relays and the Arduino (or possibly Raspberry PI later on) to toggle standard electric devices in my house on and off. Lights, my stereo, things like that.

I looked on Amazon for some relays that can have ...

I currently have some projects in my mind and am in the process of finding the best way to create them. As explained in a previous Post I try out different languages and Frameworks for that. Finding the best is really hard since no single service or ...

In this article I will explain some recent thoughts about why learning new languages helps your understanding of how to tackle problems in every language you're coding in.

I've had a lot less time to do programming lastly, so I originally thought ...

This and a following article will explain how to build a simple hardware game with an Arduino and use it to turn on a Computer.

Two years ago I built a PC case of wood. I also used a standard lock to turn the PC on instead of a normal Power button ...
