For 6 years I had a long distance relationship between Peru and Germany. When you are in different timezones it can actually be nice to fall asleep with the other person "close" to you; so we kept Skype running while one of us went to bed and the other person was working on the PC. Unfortunately the internet connection would regularly drop, ending the Skype call. Now you did not want to wake the other person by calli…
I set a Raspberry Pi with an IR led running an Apache server close to the TV. From my phone I would visit the Raspberry IP and send signals to the IR led to lower the volume.
Time & project management software are expensive, and prices per user, and mine is $0 for all.
A software developer and football (soccer) fan who lives in an antipodean time zone, I enjoy watching games on demand the morning after they occur. Apart from watching the games of the team I support, I like to watch one or two of the most entertaining games in any given week, but score spoilers absolutely ruin the experience for me. So, I created https://laterball.com : a web app the algorithmically determines the b…
My MIL is 93, and the only tech she can really deal with is turning on the radio and TV and changing channels. She is fond of music from old classics (from the 60's and earlier), so I hooked up a Raspberry PI with an FM transmitter and created her own private radio station. She tells me what songs she likes and I create different playlists that get broadcast on her station. It preserves the surprise element of radio,…

I have some photos here: https://goo.gl/photos/g6Dp8…

So one app to rule them all. Current list of tools in the app are: - Todo list integrated with Pomodoro timer - Notes with ability to be converted to todo list - Pomodoro timer - JSON/SQL/XML/YAML/Protobuf formatter and error detector. - Converter from JSON to CSV and other formats. - Meditation/Gratitude general - Universal time clocks - Count down timer, focus timer, stopwatch
In development: - Unix time formatter - CloudWatch metrics reader (to monitor my other cloud apps) - S3 explorer (My own infinite cloud storage with no one reading meta-data or scanning my pictures/documents) - Cron explorer and scheduler
In process of putting it on app store. If anyone is interested in trying, DM me.
A fully featured group calendar that I use for myself
A collaborative organigram maker that I use for my kids class
A collaborative family tree maker that my distant and close family alike use to document every detail until (as of today) 1776
Not sure if it counts as tech, but I created a voiceboard for my mother to help her communicate while in hospice. She had a massive stroke and could no longer speak. I thought of a tablet app, but the stakes were too high, so it wound up as a laminated paper. You can read about my design decisions here: https://voiceboard.org
