My current method isn't working, because as far as I can tell the headers aren't always the first bytes received? It's simple enough to do in Python/PHP/etc.

(Backstory: you can change the headers you send to request metadata, which will include an ice-metaint field. Every $metaint bytes will be a metadata string with server name, song title, etc. Well, there will be a byte that you multiply by 16 to see how long the metadata is, and it can be 0.)

Struggled with parsing icecast headers in Arduino code most of the day. It's a strange way to relax.

Like, "connect 8 AA batteries" is not a viable option. At least it's better than the official documentation, which suggests connecting 12V to an Arduino's VIN.

Electronics-type talk: I bought a Radio Shack LED strip on clearance, but it requires 12V to run. 12 g.d. volts! I think I'm going to write that off and just get some damn Neopixels.

Got outbid on a house again today. Second house we've put an offer on, second house we've lost on.

I know how privileged of a thing that is to complain about, but... this sucks. I wanted that house.

Help there's a giant ball of fire in the sky

My mother in law said she'd never seen me "party this hard", by which she meant me be this drunk, but really I've been downing seltzer and having a great time anyway.

Sister in law got married today. After @mattgen88's wedding last year I've officially solidified dancing as My Thing.

(Also I think there's video of me singing Bohemian Rhapsody in its entirety but my nonexistent Patreon needs to be a significant amount before that sees the light of day)

Just requested the HAM radio study manual from the library. This is not the direction I saw my life going.

Has anyone ever done any High Altitude Balloon stuff? Sending a weather balloon into near-space, with an arduino or rpi and some sensors.

I think that's going to be my project for the next $while. Because SPAAAAAACE
