I was born a geek!

I design and build small robots, tinker with electronics, and am addicted to programming languages. I work with Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

I code in Arduino, Python, Circuit Python, and Micropython.

Hey! I got my new TV and it is working great! :-) :-)
It is also possible that I might even have a new place to live, in a real room with a locking door. I am still talking to people about this, so nothing is final yet. I will have to wait and see what happens because it almost sounds too good to be true so I am wary. ;-)

There are no sane people who own these Independent Living Facilities. They are not even facilities and are not regulated at all. They are just houses owned by private individuals who rent rooms to people like me, and most of us are disabled.

I was given a 30-Day notice a few minutes. It does not have a reason. The manager said it is because I brought my dog here. This is NOT on the notice though.

My TV is not working now. 😒😒 It was fine before I laid down but when I woke up and turned it on all I see is a light screen. Even after I unplugged it and replugged it in I see the same thing. 🙁🙁

I am very afraid that I am going to end up being homeless again. :-( I hope not but if I can not find another place with a private room I can afford it may happen. :-(

The only way I will be able to stay where I am is if I get a private room. That is not likely to happen though. They might have accepted $1200.00/month but I can only go to $1100.00/month. So far, anything that would work for me is out of my price range. :-( I found one decent one but they want first and last month's rent plus a deposit which is $2800.00.

I had an echocardiogram today. I left the house at 10:00 am and got back at 2:00 pm. My ride home was 40 minutes late. I waited for a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes for my ride. :-(

This is my latest robot, called A.R.T.I.E. I woke up one morning and had the design in my head. I have been wanting to build this for sometime.

This is the NEW A.R.T.I.E. He has grown up and changed a bit. :-D https://images.plurk.com/6Hsy6eZAi8sFfA9e7rT9Wh.jpg

The people who own this house are not accepting my Emotional Support Animal letter for Snooki because they say their insurance does not allow pets. Snooki is not a pet according to the laws that apply to Emotional Support Animals so any no-pet policy does not apply to her. The laws are very clear about this.

I am depressed, anxious, and quite edgy. I have given up trying to explain to people how this affects me because they never understand.

I really despise the owners of the house I live in because they are greedy and manipulative, and try to intimidate everyone to get their way. Then I come along where none of those things work and I do not take their orders.

I am supposed to get a 30-notice tomorrow. I will be interesting to see what they put down as a reason. They are still saying Snooki can not be here because they have a no-pets policy. Snooki is not even a pet according to California law!
