SERINDA – Camera object

I had issues where reinitializing VideoCapture was bombing the server when I'd go back to it from another page or instantiate more than one camera.  I wrote a quick Camera object for opencv4nodejs and tested it with my current code. The current code stems from examples from the opencv4nodejs codebase and this project with this …

SERINDA – another success

Another two sets of successes today. The first is Windows installation of the Angular 6 MEAN stack version.  Simple installation steps are listed on the npm page here. I deleted my node_modules directory installed cmake from here (the windows msi) npm install --global windows-build-tools npm install Everything ran perfect - there were some audit warnings that I'm ignoring …

I spoke too soon

Rather I complained too soon. I was able to figure out the routing issue and get the voice commands fixed in the Angular (6) app. So no more working with the previous application. I'm now attempting to install opencv4nodejs on Windows (main) instead of WSL so I can run the app there. I don't know …

SERINDA – update

As with all projects, I start to get burnt out after things don't go as planned and I start spinning my wheels.  That's why this project has taken so long to work on.  I run into limitations on hardware, software, linking the two, and so on.  Or I get sidetracked.  I want to be working …

A few minor updates

The HUD "goggles" I was expecting are delayed.  No one knows where they are.  Not FedEx. Not Amazon.  Right now, Wilson is enjoying some HUD lenses and pretending to see, well anything AR. My MEAN.io seed turned to bust.  I worked too hard to get it to run.  So I found another seed that took …

SERINDA – Things that keep me up at night

I haven't been sleeping much the last few months.  Now, the last week making this much interactive progress I'm sleeping less.  Imagine spending the last 17 years working on pieces of a project that were slowly coming along in multiple programming languages and had kind of worked, but now all coming together much better than …

SERINDA – another success

Today was another successful testing phase. I had a lot of issues with Docker. It initially worked.  Then didn't.  The Windows 10 machine I have has 4GB RAM and 16 of Opteron which Docker doesn't care it says 4GB RAM means it won't start up.  So Docker was out. VirtualBox was no better. The Debian …

SERINDA – a lot going on

I haven't finished the architecture post, yet. It's coming. I have a lot of handwritten notes to transcribe and a lot of thoughts to type so it'll be soon. So much is happening quite fast since I made the switch to Node.js for my work. The biggest piece of news is that I finally had …

SERINDA update

I had some early success with Docker then I have no idea what happened it all went to crap on both my Windows 10 and Mac. So I went and fired up my base Debian 9 in Parallels and took the Docker files I'd written and did very little work to create an install file.  …

SERINDA project

I don't know what else to name it. I've been calling it SERINDA (after Serinda Swan) for so long I'm just going to keep it. Serinda has been a dream project of mine for about 30 years.  It started as the sci-fi of the 80s TV shows like Knight Rider, Airwolf, Blue Thunder, GI Joe, …
