I made this control the signal light on my circuit board.
It's a little bland but it gets the job done.

The first thing I did when I got up was rig
a GUI up to the Python 2B Interface The only real problem was that the program froze
on quit and I have to go and kill the process. But it would also
freeze my mouse intermittently so that proved difficult.

Eh, still it was well worth the 30 minutes. And this mild success
helped encourage me to keep moving forward.

I can sit and reflect upon the whole day and
decide what to monitor. Or I can sit and recall only
the post potent items.
I could even try to post the brief notes from yesterday
up. But the real concern was I never got to what I wanted
to do
