I used my label maker for the electrical panel and the electrician was so impressed with it he bought the same label maker himself π He said this was much quicker and neater than hand-writing the branch names.
Opened up the drywall under my electrical panel to make room for the electricians to install a new low voltage box for monitoring the power usage of each circuit!
I found this old Palm Pilot at a rummage sale and fixed the battery terminals and got it to boot up! This was the first Palm I bought, the m105. Now I just need to track down a serial cable so I can install some more apps on it!
The new MCP spec just dropped! π There's too many new things to get into everything, but there are two big changes I am most excited about π π Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD) - a simpler way to manage client registrations, clients describe themselves with a URL they control π Enterprise-Managed Authorization extension (aka Cross App Access) - eliminate the OAuth redirect and get tokens for an MCP server by requesting them from the enterprise IdP It's been great working on this with folks like Den Delimarsky, Paul Carleton, David Soria Parra, Nick Cooper, Tyler Leonhardt, and more!

The hot tub cover finally arrived! I had to screw the little clamps in for the straps, and it felt more than a little terrifying to drill a hole in the wood with it full of water.
Today I hooked up the CT clamps to the main breaker panel, and now I have continuous monitoring of how much power the house is using! It's very cool. I'm going to have my electrician run CTs to each individual circuit next time he's here.
I finally put up the trim for the LED strip on the roof patio. There was this awkward corner to get around that I filled in with epoxy putty, seemed easier than figuring out how to make it work with the trim.
