<p>Whoa - where the hell did all the time go?! I knew in the back of my mind that I was being a huge slacker by not updating in a while, but almost 5 years? That's crazy! My initial reaction was that the timestamp of my last post had gotten screwed up somehow, but the details of what I wrote proves that the time is right.</p>

<p>When I started this blog I had recently been laid off and figured it was as good a time as any to give some visibility to the code I had been creating over the years rather than hoarding it like a jealous dragon. I intended to keep up with it but then I started a new job and the writing sort of fell by the wayside. I kept working on projects when I could but never really got the chance to write about them. I'm hoping to be a bit more consistent this time around but only time will tell.</p>

<p>The software side of <a href="https://github.com/ckaczor/LaundryMonitor">LaundryMonitor</a> is currently pretty straightforward. The <a href="https://getchip.com/pages/chip">C.H.I.P.</a> runs a Node.js application that keeps track of a GPIO pin for each current switch - when the switch is closed the appliance is on and when the switch is open the appliance is off. The application exposes a websocket that applications like <a href="https://github.com/ckaczor/HomeStatusWindow">HomeStatusWindow</a> can watch and messages are sent to a family Telegram channel.</p>
