Afgelopen nacht was er een hoogtepunt in zonneactiviteit, wat leidde tot zichtbaar noorderlicht in Nederland. Als zelfs nu.nl een artikel plaatst dan weet je dat je erbij moet zijn. Dus snel mijn spullen gepakt (dat wil zeggen vooral mijn Gorillapod met houder voor de telefoon) en onderweg.
The last weeks I have been pickup up the development of the football predictions website again. One of the things I realized (again) was that my home pc is quite old and limited on resources, so I don’t want to run a SQL Server in a docker container. Since I already investigated to use SQLite as a database engine, I decided to make the database engine configurable. It turned out to be a small change.
Earlier this month I ordered the parts for the controller for my arcade cabinet. This week everything arrived and I took a good look at what I ordered.
In the previous post I mentioned that I want a way to control the volume. During the day I probably don’t mind putting up the volume a bit, but that is most likely not what I want later in the evening.
Last spring I started to use a very old laptop for retro gaming. Back then it was a bit of an experiment, but it turned out I use it quite often. So I decided to make the next step and investigate if I could build a real arcade cabinet.
