what I’m up to these days

I’m going to start blogging again soon. I’m getting more and more into Arduino stuff, and want to be able to explain stuff properly to my students at the Monaghan Coder Dojo, so will be writing articles explaining what I’m teaching.

In work (FieldMotion, where we do field service management software), we’re doing some really interesting things with Zapier, which lets us easily integrate with more than 750 applications.

We’re also doing a new thing with the reports that we generate, where we can apply “skip logic” to the actual reports, resulting in personalised reports depending on the questions answered in the job forms.

I’ve had to take a break from the 3D Printer stuff, because the printer I had (a Makibox) broke down so often that I was spending more time fixing it than using it. I’m not quitting with 3D printing – just need to wait for a bit of cash to come in so I can afford a better printer. Once I have that new printer, the first thing I’m doing is making a second printer with it!
