Tohora - instant web page control for balenaDash
A post introducing a recent hobby project of mine. Last year I changed jobs and stopped working with digital signage. What do you know, though: the office I now sit in, at the super-nice Bradfield Centre, has a display on the wall, so I felt sort of obligated to get something running behind it. Not literally behind it - although a Raspberry Pi is pretty small, it’s proved rather difficult to wedge behind the monitor.

Up with this we will not put
Iris and I recently read “Little Miss Sunshine”, in which the heroine visits Miseryland and changes it for the better. If you haven’t read it, I won’t give away any more of the plot.

I reckon the location of the STRICTLY NO FLY TIPPING sign probably is a spot that might otherwise be frequently fly-tipped.

I interpreted it as ‘end of no cycling zone’.
