Last year I purchased myself an Ender 3 V2 3D Printer. It was a logical purchase, to compliment my home automation hobby, allowing me to design and print custom enclosures for miscellaneous ESPHome and Zigbee nodes. It turns out having a CoreXY 3D printer allows you to do more than just 3D printing if you’re willing to get creative. For example, adding on a laser engraver . In my case, I was…
Over the space of 6 weeks, 100 Warm Tunas collected a large sum of data and chugged away at it to make some predictions about what the Hottest 100 of 2018 would look like.

We tallied 58,463 votes across these entries (12.9% decrease since 2017 🔻). 3.00% of votes were collected via Instagram direct message. Triple J counted…
100 Warm Tunas has found a new home this year! This year’s results, along with the past 2 years can now be found at 100warmtunas.com . The existing domain ( 100-warm-tunas.nickwhyte.com ) will simply perform a 301 permanent redirect to the new domain, so all existing inbound links should be unaffected.
Over the space of 6 weeks, 100 Warm Tunas collected a large sum of data and chugged away at it to make some predictions about what the Hottest 100 of 2017 would look like. Along the way we encountered a bug in the collection process, however data was backfilled and showed that I had collected a sample size around the same as in 2016 . Summary 100 Warm Tunas collected 7,216 entries (7.3% less than…
100 Warm Tunas has been happily chugging away for the last month or so. I’ve obtained a fair amount of media coverage too. A couple of days back, I posted the site to the triplej subreddit . Someone replied to the post telling me my vote count was significantly less than what they had been counting by hand, which made me somewhat suspicious – was there a bug in my Instagram scraping library that I…
Last year I predicted the top 3 in Triple J’s hottest 100 (ignoring order). This year I’m back at it once again with an updated webpage and a Spotify playlist .

Feel free to check out the results from 2016 , 2016 results analysis…
It’s been a long time since the Hottest 100 of 2016 was aired. Unfortunately, I never really got around to publishing some analysis I performed on the prediction results . Fortunately, I managed to find some time recently! Looking from afar, the results don’t look fantastic (when you compare them to my results from 2015 at least). The prediction unfortunately predicted the top two places out of…
I’ve been doing a fair bit of DIY home automation hacking lately across many different devices - mostly interested in adding DIY homekit integrations. A couple of months ago, my dad purchased a bulk order of RAEX 433MHz RF motorised blinds to install around the house, replacing our existing manual roller blinds. Note: If you are based in Australia, you can purchase these in bulk or individually…

You can read about the process last year here . However, vote…
As a casual bike rider, I enjoy tracking my rides with Strava so I can take a look at how my ride went and how well I performed throughout. However, very rarely the Strava tracking application randomly crashes, or gets killed by iOS on my phone, during the ride. This means that the data was never recorded between the point at which the app died and the point when I became aware the app had died.…
