  • Doesn’t your college have a good jobs program? Part of the job of a good college is to have some program to help graduates get a job. You should find out and reach out. If your college doesn’t, that’s a sign that they’re a bad college, and I’m sorry you picked the wrong college… Make sure you review your college in this case and point out that they’re lacking good help.

    That’s it. Unfortunately right now the economy is not in the best shape and so it will be hard for you and all I can say is best of luck. (well, beyond what others already mentioned, there’s other good advice. Read it all, don’t give up)


  • When IPv6 was first created, the dream was that your machine would get a new IP address any time the whole network felt some need for that. The idea was, as someone added a network, we may need to change the way your systems are numbered in order to make the backbone routing a lot easier to fit in memory. This hasn’t seemed to work out, but that was the dream.






  • The problem is people don’t want a focused community. They want a broad community so when they have a question they can ask and find an expert - but not so broad that the noise means they can’t follow anything. We do focused communities because the world (or even internet) has too many people and so the noise of all the discussions is too much. However that isn’t what we want.








  • General advice is smart switches, dumb bulbs. Switches mean that you can control the light without getting out your phone, or whatever it is you use to control the bulb. Sure HA can talk to many bulbs, but only if the switch is on. Guests will not have the ability to control your bulbs - either there is too much work to install an app for a short stay, or the system is a security nightmare (often both). Use a smart switch because they have a control on the wall that guests can use to get what they want done without having to worry about apps.

    Most often you can choose bulbs with the right color temperature, but if not some dimable bulbs change color temperature. If this is not good enough two lights: a general room like, and a separate special effects light, don’t combine them (HA can control both, but they are separate systems generally not used at the same time)
