Oh, it's getting better: To unlock your account, you need to use the "forgot password" link. Well, I would, but...

Found something that is actually even worser than Origin: Uplay. Login works only after hitting the login button 10+ times. And if you try hard enough:
Account locked.
Warning - NEVER enable MFA with uplay...it asks for it CONSTANTLY - you can;t add a trusted device etc, every time you start it up, it asks....wanna start a game after already logging in? MFA. Want to purchase something? MFA.
Like, dude. Chill.
Didn't activate MFA at all. Just plain user / password.

Problem is, there is a shit load of components for which I need to write some code for. I'm concentrating on the communication part right now. Next will be a load of drivers for sensors and actors. Not too hard, but needs to be done. Last but not least, we want to have some central PC (an old notebook in this case) to act as a central monitoring and control interface.
But yes, as promised before, I'll post pictures when there is something worth showing.
Vacations, day 1: Went through 3 football field sized hardware stores with my wife. She's looking for some new carpet and two new ceiling lamps.

1.800kg (that's a very huge bomb), 54.000 people evacuated.

8°C and squalls...
"White Christmas" is something you can see here every ~10 years or so
Still alive, just busy. Had to resurrect Exchange today, it's driving me nuts. Keeps crashing for no reason after some time (hours, days at best) while my brave little Postfix is doing an awesome job as an inbound / outbound gateway in front of Exchange.

@thwr external tracking? from beacons etc in the room?
No, the cam tracks the IR diodes which are attached to the headset. I like this method the most, because it works almost independent from environmental lighting.
Are you using FreeTrackIR? Or something else?
OpenTrack. FreeTrack is causing issues with ArmA 3

That's exactly what I want to build a setup like this for. Arma3 and FalconBMS.

Getting those online? Seems to be only one retailer that I can see.
Should be Mouser, I've ordered them there.

Never had an account, and I don't want one. My wife had one once, but she deleted it years ago.
@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
@thwr stay safe. Amazing how many of those there are.
We will be ok, Hamburg's bomb disposal team (unique in Germany) is doing a damn good job.
Last bomb was found 2 days ago a few KM to the north. This one is a bit larger. Not a blockbuster, but impressive.

@thwr that looks great!
