Pi Day!
Yesterday, when I published and wrote a blog about my new RPi::StepperMotor distribution, I didn't even think that the very next day was Pi Day.
So, although nothing significant could be done in the meantime, I updated that dist with a cleanup() method which resets the GPIO pins at the end of your script, and published version 2.3623 of RPi::WiringPi, which is the top-level framework that allows you to safely pull in all of the other RPi:: distribution objects.
Changes include:
bumping GPSD::Parse prereq due to having added some convenience methods to it
Documentation fixes and updates (all broken links now work!)
incorporation of said
RPi::StepperMotordistribution
Nothing major, but since most of my personal programming time the last two years has gone into Raspberry Pi work for Perl, thought I'd do at least something :)
byterock, this one's for you...
Just Another Perl Hacker
His name is Theodore (Theo). That cabin is my sauna cabin, about 500 metres from my house, and overlooks the lake and boat launch.
One day, my wife and I were sitting in chairs having a drink, and we were watching him on the lake.
He proceeded to follow us home, and now he resides and stays right by us at all times. He sleeps next to my kitchen deck usually, and is always calm when we are around. We do not interfere; we pretty much don't acknowledge he's around at all.
He's first-year off of mama, so he's kind of naive. I suspect he will leave us as soon as the snow melts the rest of the way and he starts growing up. We have at least five confirmed different moose that traverse the lakeside part of my property (ie. outside my house), but I suspect there are many, many more.
Just make sure you publish version 3.1415 next March 14th. :-)
