So it was naff, hooked up to a computer, so I could read Temperature and Humidity, so my friends at EmbeddedSilicon sent me a LCD readout, I think it’s called a 16×9 something! So now it’s a bit more useful, as a standalone display.

My thanks to the peeps at EmbeddedSilicon for the items. I’m now waiting for a WiFi board!
So the problem, I need to measure temperature and humidity, and calculate the condensation risk in my attic!
The Solution
An Arduino and a temperature and humidity module, and I can do the rest, and beam it to the Cloud for plotting!
and I just know the place to go to get this stuff – EmbeddedSilicon.com
and here it is:-
Arduino Uno and DHT11 sensor
and this is the output from the serial console
Console output - sensors readings
Andy get’s adventurous and adds a breakout shield (I think that’s what they call it!)

Got to find a WiFi module, then I can beam results to the cloud…
Wuala by LaCie comes to end today (15th November 2015). You’ve maybe never heard of it, but it was one of the first pioneers of Secure Cloud Storage, that not only offered traditional Sync, similar to Dropbox, but Backup, Sync, Change Control, Version Control – with a Standalone Java Application, that operated across all platforms, to Browser Client, and support for all mobile devices. A brilliant cloud storage platform, which originally allowed you to trade up storage, by offering storage on your computers to share with the cloud, this was withdrawn, a few years after I started using it!
Wuala
I came across Wuala, when I purchase a USB flash drive from LaCie, in 2010, and I’ve been using it every day, with family and friends.
It had a simple interface, and I really enjoyed using it! and I’ve not found a replacement with similar functionality, and I’ve checkout out, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, DropBox, Box and finally Tresorit
Wuala
I can only assume, that since Seagate purchased LaCie in 2012, it’s not in Seagate business model, to own and run a Secure Cloud Storage company, or Seagate/LaCie could not compete with the various Cloud Storage platforms available online today, and it was running at a loss!
Even Google know’s it’s My Birthday today!

Google-ing the Internet where I could purchase a particular item on Friday afternoon, surprise, surprise! only Firebox and Amazon.co.uk, had this item listed.
Later Friday evening at exactly 8 November 2013 18:57, I picked up my smartphone and Googled again, and was taken to the Amazon.co.uk website, it stated order in the next 3 minutes for delivery Saturday 9th November 2013, with 1-Click Checkout I was done, and it was ordered!
What’s bizarre, is I’ve had a delivery before from Amazon.co.uk for a Saturday delivery, which arrived by DPD, my usual DPD deliveries, advise me of when it’s going to be delivered, but not Saturdays, unless there is not enough time to prepare the information.
At 8 November 2013 22:11, I had confirmation from Amazon.co.uk my order had been despatched. This also provided DPD tracking information that confirmed it was at Oldbury.
DPD Tracking Information
I set my alarm clock, to wake me up, as DPD deliveries can be early on Saturday, so much for the rest! Shortly after opening the bedroom curtains, I spotted the DPD delivery van, which could only have been for me, with my Amazon.co.uk Order!
Here it is:- Angus has to inspect everything, well it is for Esther, Angus and Tilly.
So this Christmas why not place an order with Amazon.co.uk, or use DPD for your deliveries.
I do not work for Amazon.co.uk or DPD.
and if you are interested, in what my order was, you will have to wait until tomorrow!
UPDATE see what was ordered here!
Do you find yourself with half a dozen cloud storage providers?
I’ve currently got storage accounts with
I needed to get some files onto my Microsoft Surface RT tablet yesterday, unfortunately there seems to be an issue with Dropbox with the Surface RT and syncing to the cloud, the Surface RT uses Skydrive.
But how do I get my data from Dropbox to Skydrive?
Use cloudHQ, this cloud based application will continuously sync all your files between different cloud services: in real-time
It took me five minutes to complete the easy drag and drop configuration to sync files and data between Dropbox and Microsoft Skydrive!
You can also Backup all your emails from Gmail to Dropbox!
Brilliant use of the Cloud, Excellent Product, I also like the ability to browse current cloud storage vendors using the cloudHQ website!
It’s Friday, the end of the week, Bank Holiday Weekend, and I’m going to have a RANT!
In the post the other day I received this item from Barclaycard, it’s called a PayTag.
It’s a contact-less payment system,
the instructions state “Just snap off your PayTag sticker and remove the protection backing. Then, just stick it onto the back of your mobile”.
Hang on, lets just rewind there…..Then, just stick it onto the back of your mobile..
WHAT, Why would I stick this crap, on the back of my nice new shiny Nexus 4!
I do wonder if Barclaycard had surveyed it’s customer asking them if they wanted to stick this crap, on their new shiny “eye-candy” expensive mobile phone!
A comment from one colleague “why would I stick that on my phone worth a couple of hundred quid!”
Not very scientific, but I surveyed 6 colleagues in my department, ALL of which have just purchased new shiny mobile phones
Not one of the above people, after showing them the PayTag, wanted to stick this crap on their shiny new mobile phone!
My phone shares the same pocket as my wallet, so why would I not just get my wallet out with my Barclaycard!
Barclaycard, here’s a thought, why not just Develop an iPhone or Android App!
