Configurar iluminação exterior alimentada por LED simples
It’s getting warm out and my wife loves entertaining. This weekend she wanted to throw a party in a really scenic park near our house and tasked me with coming up with a clever way to illuminate the whole affair. I didn’t really want to spend the money on solar lights or anything expensive for that matter (since it could get misplaced, left behind, etc.) I stumbled on a really great little hack at the Evil Mad Scientist blog. He used cheap mason jars, LEDs, and a coin cell batteries to make what looks like a garden solar light but without the expense, you know, of buying an actual solar light. So clever! The only thing I’d suggest is that you buy your coin cell batteries online. If you go to the local store to buy them, even a specialty battery store, they’re a total rip off. You can find bulk generic coin cell batteries online for 30-60 cents each instead of $2-3 retail.
Como se não fosse óbvio que adoramos mexer, já estamos sonhando em maneiras de tornar este simples truque ainda mais legal. Ele observa na entrada do blog que a bateria de célula tipo moeda fornece suco suficiente para acender o LED de alguns dias a mais de uma semana, dependendo do LED. Parece uma grande melhoria para este hack seria a introdução de um interruptor de botão barato para que você pudesse ligar e desligar as luzes sem ter que desmontar o circuito de bateria / led. Então, novamente, o objetivo do hack é criar a iluminação com o mínimo de esforço possível! Obrigado por compartilhar o Ted!
Arquivos de e-mail para o Dropbox para gerenciar aplicativos de compartilhamento de arquivos
Craig escreve com uma dica inteligente sobre o uso do Dropbox para gerenciar seu compartilhamento de arquivos:
After I read your guide to setting up a watch folder in your Dropbox directory to remotely trigger torrent downloads I started doing some tweaking. Because it was the most compatible with a variety of desktop and tablet apps I use… I really wanted a way to email.torrent and.NZB files into the watch folder. I ended up combining your guide with this guide on setting up a way to dump email attachments into a designated folder. The result is an email address I can send file sharing files to that automatically dumps them into Dropbox and then loads them into the file sharing client. Bam! Thanks for getting me started on this project.
Essa é uma maneira muito engenhosa de lidar com isso, Craig. Obrigado por escrever!
Gerenciar e baixar Wallapers frescos com Wally
There are lots of wallpaper rotation apps, but I have yet to find one that does as much as Wally. On top of rotating your existing wallpaper collection you can download fresh wallpaper from tons of sources automatically (like Flickr, DeviantArt, Panoramio, and more). Even if an picture service isn’t supported, someone can whip up a module to support it independently. On top of all that you can customize just about everything the application does. It makes the simple wallpaper management in Windows look like a caveman’s tool!
É grátis e compatível com várias plataformas. Se você é sério sobre gerenciamento de papel de parede, isso parece uma ótima escolha. Obrigado por compartilhar, Deb!
