There must be something special about cat food. I once had an amazon subscription for a particular Japanese sencha green tea but then they stopped providing it. They offered me cat food as an alternative.

Well I got so far and now I've lost interest. I was intending designing fancy icon and adding more content, maybe I'll pick it up again in the near future.

Well it's been a lot easier than expected thanks to Circuitpython having excellent docs and lots of examples. New I have switched to Micropython so I can make use of the dual cores. One task to get the status data and one to take the data and make it look good on the display...
Just for fun 😜

Just singing a modified "Feeling Groovy"
Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the fallen leaves
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy
Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the fallen leaves
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy

Many years ago I was on a PLC training course and we had to program traffic lights. Whilst others wrote the sequence as a list of instructions I used a binary counter instead... the instructors were so impressed they offered me a job. I didn't take it as it meant moving to Milton Keynes.

I remember seeing Brian Rix live in one of his farces and great cheers from the audience when he dropped his trousers. They don't make em like that anymore.

Reminds me of the song... Little Boxes
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same

The jumbo is the easy bit to explain... it's a free gift, it's the other stuff.
I'm thinking of making the jumbo into some form of artwork in a box frame with an e-ink display and sensors.
