Flight Plotter
I started tracking flights in February of this year using PiAware. I soon after started logging the unique flights I capture every day, and updated a GitHub repo with the data every 12 hours. I didn’t do much with the data except look at it every once in a while just to see how many flights I had captured on certain days. Finally, I sat down today to write a quick Python script to plot the data in a bar chart format.
Home VPN Setup
VPN’s are a great way to secure your browsing while connected to public wifi. A VPN is also useful for being able to access devices and files connected to your home network when you are not connected to your home wifi.
Working From Home Effectively
I have been working from home full time for over a year now since I have moved to Arizona. Working from home is nothing new to me at this point, but it is new to a lot of people who are being urged to work from home at this time. I wanted to share a few tips I have learned over the last year of working from home to help keep you productive and motivated.
Contributing to the Efforts of Finding COVID-19 Vaccine
As COVID-19 (coronavirus) continues to spread and affect more people, reasearchers are working tirelessly to find an antivirus for it. I was wondering if there was any way I could contribute to the efforts using my computer. Turns out there is!
DD-WRT DHCP Lease Check
I was looking for a side project to work on one day and thought of being notified whenever a new client connects to your wifi. Of course, I could check the active clients by simply logging on to my router and manually checking, but what fun is that? I wanted a solution that was automated. So I decided to create a simple Python script that checks for new DHCP leases every 15 minutes via a cron job.
