    Who is Cyberspice?

    I am a female software consultant from the UK and seem to spend an awful lot of my life on planes flying from one country to another.  I am tall, blonde green blonde (again), gray/blue/green eyed, and a little over weight.  I wont tell you my age except to say that software consultancy is one of several careers I have had which includes accountancy and corporate finance;  physicist and academic; and software engineer and consultant.  I seem to collect degrees for a past time.

    Huge Tracts Of Land

    I could be described as a bit of a goth although like any true goth I will steadfastly deny the claim.  However I wear an awful lot of black and dark colours, velvet, pvc, and big boots.  I also has a few piercings but to date I have not been inked.   I can be often found dancing around at various clubs to various kinds of music but dark lyrics seem to be a consistent theme.  My hobbies include playing guitars and keyboards, photography, bellydancing (cabaret, tribal and gothic tribal fusion), climbing, canyoneering and boldering, skateboarding, riding motorcycles and keeping snakes. And when she’s not doing all that she’s studying psychology.

    I am a bit of an Apple fan-girl and loves my Macs, my iPod and my iPhone.  However my day job means PCs but mostly Linux and if Windows is required it is run in a Virtual machine.  I am a bit of a Linux guru and is equally at home hacking kernels, drivers and build tools; carrying out high level design; and developing large applications, including client/server; in C, C++, Objective-C, and Java. Recently I’ve started projects based on PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS.  I work in the digital television industry and know far too much about digital TV protocols.

      Thanks for the plugin wp-CPG-widget. Helped a lot to a site with wordpress and a coppermine gallery with over 900 pictures. I hope to update the plugin to work well and the future WordPress versions. Good health and success!

      I came across your post on the vivarium (http://www.cyberspice.org.uk/blog/2009/10/29/boarduino-vivarium-temperature-monitor/) while searching for breadboard ethernet for arduino.

      Thanks. I had just been working with the TMP36 and gleaned some good suggestions such as using integer math and using averages to smooth the noise in the comments.

      If you need to recover some lines on your boarduino you may wish to try this serial interface for your LCD (http://www.moderndevice.com/products/lcd117-kit). I have been using it with success.

      Once again, thanks for sharing the knowledge!
