Training my second batch of half marathoners.

After running the Newport Liberty Half Marathon for the 5th time and achieving my PR 2:10:07 (was targeting sub 2 hour) and helping setup a plan with my running troupe, I've decided to help a bigger bunch this year. Started a Whatsapp group with a few friends who I know are interested to run.

The target race is NJ Marathon, and the race plan is Hal Higdon Novice 2.

Here is the link to the calendar; webcal://p01-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/fu-t5G7dbn4SZSMVR37o2GbYQgDQ7b6wJBdqP3tIorzT4OMKqF1DiJf9on6oETcBaNbPY9QaUQl0j82-i0ZEP-5x-LVQ5EEGoA3qDuSzkfo

Feel free to download, import the ics and join the schedule!

The only benefit of the Whatsapp group is I spew some running experience based general knowledge and ideas to help the group train better.

See you guys at the shore 2016!

Install motion eye on Raspberry Pi for surveillance.

Image
Decided to go on a month long vacation leaving the home all by itself. This was the perfect opportunity to put a home surveillance system in place. There was nothing I could do remotely if anything happened, but would not want to let go the jackasses who broke in! Hardware in use Raspberry Pi 2 (will work with 3 too!) Logitech 720p old web cam Sony PS3 Eye 480p web cam 64GB SD card for OS and data capture.  I tore the "Easy carry Ziplock" box on the sides for the cables to pass thru. It was placed near the window, and I did not want to leave the pi running naked, since I did not have a proper enclosure, put it in this box. Placed two cameras around the room, one on the lamp, which would monitor 4 entry/exit points in the house, and the other one near the porch to monitor if anyone was approaching the front door.  Steps to install MotionEye

2 DTO or not 2 DTO

Since the new project began I've been think about this over and over again reading as many posts and taking ideas from different posts and blogs. The more I read, the less I knew. Below is a collection of few links I've come across which have some conclusive and non-conclusive decisions/arguments, some of these post lean towards POJO's and some towards DTO(Data Transfer Object). Frankly I was not been able to convince myself on what to use. (Leaning more towards POJO's as detached objects).
