Xavi's Hobbies is a place were I [Xavi] document the things that I do. The goal is to have a centralized place where I can document the info that I spend weeks learning and forget in 2 minutes. I try to create detailed step by step guides so that whoever stumbles upon this can try anything I do out for themselves. ONE BIG CAVEAT! I have NO IDEA what I am doing. So try these things at your own peril. I'll try to add references and explanations as to why I did the things I did but that is not a guarantee of success or safety or... anything at all really. Feel free to use anything from this website and have fun!
If you have any questions, comments, or just wanna say "hi", you can email me at contactme@xavishobbies.org.
Top of the Stack [aka tots] is my rantings of the most recent things that I have been working on. You'll see pretty quickly how many projects get buried under my inability to stay focused and my lack of follow-through. To make sure that this website is not one of those things, Top of the Stack will be updated at least bi-weekly [twice a week not every two weeks] on Mondays and Thursdays, even if it is to just say that I have spent all my free time getting jealous of people on youtube doing/creating cool things instead of actually just doing the things.
Guides and tots posts on developing and expanding this very website.
Guides and tots posts on whatever science thing I am into at the moment. This probably will focus on electronics, circuit design, and PCB fabrication [or at least my attempt at these things] but I reserve the right to branch out a bit if something peaks my interest. I have some formal education in electrical engineering but, as with everything, I end up forgetting a lot of it with time.
Watch me turn the best, freshest ingredients into absolute slop. I'll post links of the recipes I try and photos of my shot at it.
I'll post my banjo dittys and what methods I use to make people who don't play instruments think that I am good. I mostly play clawhammer banjo. I particularly like songs from the mountains of Appalachia.
Write ups on new server software and configurations on my home network [basically what am i using an rpi for now]. While others are making their homes smarter, I am working hard on making mine dumber.
A place where all my horrible horrible code lives [including the code for this very website]. I'll link to it in associated tots posts but feel free to peruse.
If a picture is worth a thousand words and a video is worth a thousand pictures, then a thousandth of a video is equal to a thousand words. Therefore a video is equivalent to 10^(6) words. That's a lot o' words!
