I’m still working on the same stuff I was a few years ago. Actually, I knew it would take this long to develop.
When I was doing I.T. I realized there was a big opportunity for a system that would handle everything. No, that’s not the best way to say it.
Two years ago I thought my project was to keep track of what I was doing, and that I would just type whatever I was thinking or feeling, and eventually I’d develop an algorithm that would organize all of those things.
I really don’t know how to say it.
I’m building a piece of software that’s obviously been done before. It’s a journal, a music/video player, a webstore, invoicing and quotes (I did that before)… ummm, I’m building a recording studio for audio and video, as well as a Tetris game. Uhhh, there’s also this thing where I can drag and drop things to build relationships between them. I can take a picture on my phone, and the encrypted copy shows up on my laptop… ya, it’s all been done before. There’s really no room in the market for it. It’s going to be an epic failure, and nobody will use it.
And ya, it also does automation. First, I’m using the Raspberry Pi Pico 2W, a super cheap microcontroller that is really easy to program with dual core functions. I’ve got it wired up to relays, pots, switches, buttons, and leds. Then I can toggle and measure things from my program, or I can have the switches or pots send data to the program. That’s been done before, obviously.
And ya, I can measure anything automatically, or I can type in measurements, in any… what’s the word… I can type in 28 degrees C, or I can say that I weigh 155.2lbs. I can even have it wired up to a relay so that when I detect <12 degrees celsius it turns on a heater. Customized automation. The word is unit. And I guess I see myself selling hardware that will be rigged up to anything a customer wants automated. I see myself charging a fee for training, and then they can show up to meetings where we talk about the software, and they can access my training videos and written material. But I still need to finish it.
Like I was saying, I’m not surprised I’m still working on it. When I started I budgeted 5 years. I may as well say, the program also does this kind of budgeting where I can say I need to sleep 48h/w, and it will show me or notify me when I’m under or over budget. I also have one for guitar, 105m/w… that’s one hundred and five minutes a week.
They can also pay for me to install the software, to provide updates and upgrades. They can buy the smartwatch that’s able to interact with it all. That really exists.
I call it President.
