All the Cool Kids are Moving to Discord
Sometimes I think that the Podfeet Podcasts are just an elaborate ruse to allow me to try out new gadgets and software. It is most evident in how I can’t seem to stop refining how I produce both the recorded and the live show. If you’ve never taken a look at the live show diagram, […]

$20 WyzeCam Beats $150 D-Link Omna Webcam
When Steve and I were at CES, we had the opportunity to hang out with fellow NosillaCastaway Joe LaGreca. While we were talking about the disappointment of the security model for D-Link and their $150 Omna webcam, he mentioned that he uses a little camera called the WyzeCam. We were intrigued because Joe said the […]

D-Link’s Attention to the KRACK Vulnerability Gives Me Pause
One of our goals in Home Automation has been to buy HomeKit-compatible devices whenever possible for security reasons. I’ve even created an elaborate network setup to isolate non-HomeKit (and Windows) devices from the rest of my gear. Last year we bought the first HomeKit-compatible webcam, the Omna 180 Cam HD from D-Link. At $150 it […]

Bart decided to take a closer look at the JavaScript keywords ‘this’ and ‘static’ and boy am I glad he did. He said it was the hardest lesson he’s put together so far. It’s a convoluted topic but he gives great explanations as always. You can find his tutorial at pbs.bartificer.net/… mp3 download

Nite Ize Taglit Might Save Your Life
If you’ve been paying any attention to my nonsense over the years, you already know that I exercise a lot. In the mornings I alternate between running along the beach and doing the elliptical at the gym every other day. In the afternoons, I take Tesla for a nice long walk, anywhere from 1-3 miles […]
