- Thu, 20:55: [Dragonfly DIY] Today's irritating lesson https://t.co/1lRLO9VWjW
Oct. 23rd, 2015
The temperature web server that I put together on this post:
http://www.dragonflydiy.com/2015/10/esp8266-experimentation-continues.html
is just not stable. I've tried everything I can think of, looked at and tweaked the code. It just runs for an hour or two then stops answering web service requests.
It seems I'm not alone:

Perhaps the maintainers will fix this eventually. For now, I guess I'm going to program using Arduino, which is a bit messier but will hopefully be stable.

Good grief, what would you NOT use it for?
Just published custom mount for using a Harbor Freight welding helmet strap to mount a face mask for Halloween

Seriously, the number of people who say they can't imagine what they'd use a 3D printer for, combined with the fact that I didn't really know beforehand either, and the fact that I probably use it 2 or 3 times a week to solve little problems like this, are part of the reason I'm not worried about the fact that I really want to get a metal lathe and mill and I'm not entirely sure what I'll use them for either.
