Scotland’s brightness levels

I am trading blog post titles with Joe. He gave me a few suggestions for what to write about. I chose the title “Scotland’s brightness levels”. Place is a recurring theme when I am writing. Where am I? What do I see? What I write about Nature is what I see here in Scotland....

Podcasting Checklist

A while ago, when recording an episode for one of my podcasts, I slipped up on a few things that didn’t ruin the conversation or content, but that would have made it a lot more enjoyable to listen to and saved me a lot of editing afterwards. So, I thought I’d sit down and wr...

You probably can run BirdNET-Pi on a Pi Zero, but it will work a lot better on a Pi Model 4B.

Rhythm

I have been thinking about the rhythm of my writing recently. I wrote in my drafts: I have spent much of this evening writing. I started by working on a draft of a post about clouds that I wrote on my phone using Apple Notes while waiting for the bus. I then explored a few m...

IndieWeb wiki pages I really like

I visit the IndieWeb wiki almost every day. The wiki is maintained by the IndieWeb community, documenting everything from interfaces for creating posts to POSSE. I was thinking that, like all wikis, there are pages that are almost “hidden gems” in the sense that, while they...

We have birds!

You probably can run BirdNET-Pi on a Pi Zero, but it will work a lot better on a Pi Model 4B. The great beauty of having done all the faffing about with the Pi Zero is that when the 4B arrived all I did, literally, was transfer the micro-SD card across, plug in the microph...

People love the idea of the agriturismo in Italy. As explained in this blog post, “the synergy between agrobiodiversity and sustainable agritourisms, touch the grass.

There’s more to it than that, though, according to the FAO.

As explained in this blog post, “the synergy between agrobiodiversity and sustainable agritourism creates a powerful feedback loop that safeguards both biological heritage and rural livelihoods”.

”It’s a lunar calendar trifecta: the start of two fasting seasons, Ramadan and Lent, and the end of the painful year of the snake. I’m hoping, aren’t we all? that the year of the horse brings us better news.”

Still no birds

Got some very good advice about my BirdNET-Pi in reply to the issue I raised because the Analyser cannot keep up with Recorder. A cron job to delete recordings more than 10 minutes old every five minutes ensures that the Analyzer does not stalls.


/5 find ~/BirdSongs/StreamData/ -name ".wav" -mmin +10 -delete

Very neat. Also reduced the length of each recording from 30 to 15 seconds, and implemented the experimental ram drive, which sounds way scarier than it ought.

Everything has now been chugging along smoothly for almost three hours. Mind, it hasn't detected any birds yet. Not surprising given the foul weather this morning.

No birds, yet

Our little terrace is not exactly a wildlife haven, though some birds do occasionally pop in to investigate, most notably some lovely hooded crows. Nevertheless, I quite liked the idea of a 24/7 monitor that would tell me what birds are around and that I could maybe take to ...
