I recently saw this project: Traffic Light Shows Internet Status at the “WTH” (whiskey tango hotel) website and decided it would be fun to build. So here we go. I found the same traffic light available on Amazon: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IX73BGW I decided (of course) to make a few changes to the project: I used a BeagleBone Black (BBB), simply…

Released new versions of both the Python and Ruby interfaces to the Numerous APIs. This update allows you to call write() with the “only write it if the value changed” feature and just ignore any exception that comes (when the value hasn’t changed). This is probably a more common usage pattern. So now, for example,…

Here’s one way to connect an Arduino to a Numerous metric. The best solution would be to port the Numerous API to the Arduino; however, there is a footprint problem especially with SSL: there is only 2K of RAM on a standard Arduino. I could not find any Arduino ports of SSL (which is required…

I wrote some scripts demonstrating what you can do with all the bits and pieces I have now for manipulating NumerousApp metrics from python and shell. In particular, I was interested in finding the maximum value of one of my metrics:3626358291300704487 (this is the actual NumerousApp metric ID) I have already installed the python numerous client library and…

I added yet another numerous metric, this time tracking the performance of the NumerousApp server itself:  http://n.numerousapp.com/m/1dlt3ykfq5vqs It’s measured using this python code: import numerous nr = numerous.Numerous() nr.user() nr.user() t = nr.statistics[‘serverResponseTimes’] print (int(t*10000)/10.0)”  which is using my NumerousApp Python library (“pip install numerous”). I just make two user() API calls (discarding the returned…

Newest versions of my NumerousApp API bindings for python and ruby are released. Now includes support for the new fine-grained permissions server APIs. PYTHON details: pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numerous pip install numerous github repo: https://github.com/outofmbufs/Nappy RUBY details: gem: https://rubygems.org/gems/numerousapp/ gem install numerousapp github repo: https://github.com/outofmbufs/numeruby NumerousApp overview: www.numerousapp.com API: http://docs.numerous.apiary.io/

I made a new NumerousApp metric that will tell you when the next Friday the 13th is: http://n.numerousapp.com/m/1w4c4tk4uh29j Nerd info: I wrote this brute-force python program to find the next Friday the 13th: from datetime import datetime, date dt = datetime.now() while dt.day != 13 or dt.weekday() != 4: dt = date.fromordinal(dt.toordinal()+1) It gets today via…

Docs for the NumerousApp python class library is now available here: http://pythonhosted.org/numerous/  

I made a Ruby version of the NumerousApp class. GitHub: https://github.com/outofmbufs/numeruby Gem Repository: https://rubygems.org/gems/numerousapp/
