#ikeahacks This is my new home audio setup built into an #IKEA #Lack table.
Bottom: Subwoofer
Top Left: SMSL SA-160 amplifier. RCA in, out to speakers
Top Center: Apple Airport Express for receiving audio via AirPlay
Top Right: Audioengine B1 Bluetooth receiver, can play to this from many different devices
Not pictured: Chromecast connected to HDMI->Audio splitter, for broadcasting from even more types of devices and apps
2nd Top: Samson SM10 Line Mixer. 8 analog channels in, and outputs to the amp and subwoofer. This allows all the connected devices to play audio at the same time without switching the input mode like on traditional home receivers
3rd Top: Furman M-8x Line Conditioner. Provides filtered power to the whole rack, keeping cords off the floor and filtering power to prevent damage to the devices during bad surges on the line from other devices.
The Lack table fits standard rack mount hardware perfectly, screwing the devices into the legs to hold them in place.

HTML is my API
In August 2012, I wrote a quick script to stream front-page Hackernews stories to an IRC channel on Freenode. It broke after 2.5 years, at which point I switched to their new JSON API. That one broke after 2 days. Here is how we can fix this.continue reading... -
I do my best work when I'm procrastinating on other projects. Is there some way to capitalize on that?

@AirBnB is so frustrating sometimes! If you're going to provide a messaging system, be sure it shows all the messages sent and received!

This $10 wifi Arduino-compatible board by @DigiStump is giving me so many ideas for making home automation devices! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digistump/oak-by-digistump-wi-fi-for-all-things-arduino-comp

@candyhouse_inc Will the Sesame work with an interconnected lock? Mine looks kind of like this:

@digistump I was excited about the new Oak, but http://rootcloud.io is showing me a domain renewal message.

Configuring wifi on the raspberry pi:
Edit /etc/network/interfaces, and add:
wpa-ssid "network name"
wpa-psk "password"
auto wlan0
Then I had to `sudo service networking restart` and `sudo ifdown wlan0; sudo ifup wlan0` a couple times and it eventually worked. -

@waxpancake Is the HTML for http://belong.io open source? I'd love to add microformats to it so I can add it to my reader!

At this point I am pretty much convinced that HyperLogLog is a magic bean counting machine.

Well that was unsettling. Was harshly woken up by the sound of crackling and my lights flickering, then a pop and the apartment went dark. In a half-awake stupor I was confused why one of my lights was still working. Took me a while to realize it was only the circuit for my outlets that had tripped.
I tried to reset the breaker, but it snapped again immediately after I turned it back on. So my thought is something on the circuit has shorted, or I've just overloaded that circuit.
Either way, I can'e believe they built a brand new building and put all the plugs in this apartment on a single 15-amp circuit. Seems like it wouldn't have been that much harder to at least split it into two! -
