Chose to skip RLT and the Bolshoi today so we could get a little more done around here. Went to Home Depot for more stakes for Libbie's tying work. On the way back I checked our mailbox and found we had not retrieved the mail yesterday (Saturday). Our photo book from shutterfly was in the mail. It came out quite nixe with just a few exceptions. I'm happy. Successfully removed the pump and seals from the hottub. Ordered replacements on eBay. This will probably take a week to arrive.
I spent some time looking at using a web proxy which allows a browser to open a socket in web proxy software which handles sending and receiving data out the serial port. I found this was pretty complicated and that a better way to do this was to use PHP on a server. I think if Traviata had the PHP code and the serial port hooked to an Arduino, comm would result. Another way would be to use the PHP code on Traviata and go out the web interface to a sprinkler timer arduino. This has lots of possibilities. The Arduino would not be doing the web serving function, just straight TCP processing. ANy kind of session would work, Telnet, SMS, private TCP/IP message, etc.
Libbie made another great pizza, this time using a pepper from the garden. Yummy.
