Been working on writing a 'better' library for talking to Kamstrup meters using the KMP protocol. This works using the IR 'optical eye' module which does bidirectional communication.

And... I'm getting there! 😃 Decoding variable-length floating point registers is uh oldskool... 🤯

Next steps: getting this into Telegraf/InfluxDB & HomeAssistant!

@DavidNielsen On your recommendation, I started listening to #BTB ‘s podcast and I’m currently in a “blow my mind” state listening to “the zizian” chapters.

Man! So much lovecraft, Neal Stephenson (Snowcrash & Anathem mainly), Asimov and other postapocalyptic fiction that is getting harder not to be amazed by the convolutedness of it all.

Transcript from the Interview

Kerry Kulp: I’m Kerry Kulp, founding member of Velaspan.

Tom Hollingsworth: And I am Tom Hollingsworth, event lead for Mobility Field Day. We’re here with Kerry, he is a brand new delegate to Mobility Field Day and we are very excited to meet you. So why don’t you tell us a little bit about who you are. What’s your job role and what do you do?

Kerry: That’s a great question. I wear a lot of hats. As a founding partner of Velaspan I still have to fulfill some business leadership roles, business development roles, presale goals. I have a team of my own that I lead. Also still handle consulting, so some of the more technical side of things. It’s definitely the definition of a man with many hats.

Tom: How did you get into IT?

Kerry: So I started in IT doing computer training. I was actually in college for, of all things, criminal justice and sociology. Had every intention of going into the criminal justice field, planned to be a cop, maybe the FBI or Secret Service, something like that. I kind of always had a knack for IT and things like that and I had the opportunity to do some computer training, and I was good at it. From there I went into network engineering at a local ISP. From there, all the way back in 1998, is when I got my first job in the wireless and mobility industry.

Tom: That’s back in the day, that’s kind of around when it started.

Kerry: I was very much around when it started. That was still proprietary radio systems, we were doing a lot of prox and range LAN, deployments in hospitals. It was kind of crazy, we to deploy a proxem access point and put a proxem radio card in the device. Those were the days.

Tom: You’re taking me back. Now what are you most excited to see at the event this week?

Kerry: besides the people, because I’ve gotten to know, at least, a handful of the folks, the other delegates. I’ve known them for many years. Besides that I am just really excited to hear the presentations, learn more from, some of them that I know a lot about, like Cisco, Juniper, some of those. But maybe more importantly some that I don’t spend as much time with. I think those are going to be the really interesting ones, and that’s the Fortinets, the RUCKUSes (RUCKUS Networks), things like that that I just don’t spend that much time with on a daily basis.

Tom: That’s awesome. You’re in a very unique role in Velaspan, what are some of the challenges that you face regularly?

Kerry: Some of the challenges… We’re lucky. A couple of my partners that run our service delivery team have done a tremendous job of building a process for onboarding new resources so they have a tremendously successful process to bring in really green engineers, folks that might not have any experience in the industry and then build them very quickly into folks that can go out and do site surveys, do some basic design. Obviously some higher level leadership to guide them and mentor them, but they do a great job on that side. On my side, the kind of the consulting and managing services side, we really haven’t figured that part out as well yet. It’s a little bit harder to find the folks who have the depth of knowledge to kind of roll right in and start doing things meaningfully. So really its personnel, right now, and it’s trying to find folks that have enough experience on both the wireless side, networking side, security side, ranging across so many technology platforms and vendors, its just hard to find.

Tom: I like that approach because it cultivates the right mindset, it cultivates the right training set to someone to where they need to be in their career. It lends well to the fact that so many people speak highly of the work that you do. Putting yourself in a different set of shoes, If you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing, what is your dream job?

Kerry: Wow that is a tough one. I tell people I cut grass, but I do that because if I tell them what I really do, they always have home network questions that they want answered so when I say I cut grass, nobody really has any questions. But that would probably rank pretty highly up there as something I would like to do. It’s kind of, it’s immediately rewarding. You take a messy grass field and turn it into something nice. But all kidding aside I would probably still do something in technology. We’re branching out a little bit into some cybersecurity stuff. We’ve always kind of done it for you know, probably about two thirds, three quarters of Velaspan’s history. We’ve been doing some cybersecurity stuff but not formally. We’re formalizing that now. It’s kind of got me excited. I’d probably still be doing a lot of the same things, just maybe with a cybersecurity focus. And that’s if I’m not cutting grass.

Tom: I appreciate the time today Kerry and thank you for teaching us a little bit about who you are and a little bit about what you do. For those of you out there that are interested, you can check out more of these Meet The Delegate interviews on our website at Gestalt IT dot com.

Crackpot #physics theory of mine - On our trouble defining formally what an Observer is:

My hunch is that an observer is a selection of a partition of phase space (or maybe configuration space) in the set set of all valid partitions. For some notion of validity.

(Not) Coincidentally tied closely to how phi is computed in integrated information theory #IIT Which may provide a hint to how observers may relate to #consciousness via a functor between appropriate categories

Happy #Wolfenoot to all who celebrate 🐺🦊🐶
Taking doggo fra en extra long walk in the woods today, and finding one of the real good treats from the freezer when we get home ♥️

Gotta admit that I am really enjoying the #MurderBot series adaptation. That is a rare thing after reading the books!

BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT NOW is a #SanctuaryMoon series adaptation. That stuff looks absolutely amazing 😍🤩💣🔪♥️😤

Friendly reminder that the month of May is #umay where we celebrate the Japanese cuisine. Umai! 🍡🍱🍜🎌 Make some, or buy it, either way is good! #itadakimasu ♥️🙇

Cautiously excited by the discovery of #toponium. See fx https://www.science20.com/tommaso_dorigo/toponium_found_by_cms-257373

I have many questions! Maybe the fediverse can help? ♥️🤓

Maybe most central: I thought the top quark is a fermion? And if so, must obey the Pauli exclusion principle. Then how can 2 top quarks occupy the same point in space? Does that not imply it must be a new fundamental particle on its own?

#toponium

kamstrup @kamstrup · 2024-05-06 · 15:33 UTC

New tradition on the block. We celebrate #umay or #umaj which is a combination of May and the Japanese exclamation Umai.

You basically eat Japanese for the entire month of May. Let's get the word out!

Itadakimasu! ♥️🍜🍙🍣🍡🍱🍥🍢🇯🇵

Knold is very distraught that his humans have, once again, left him outside with no way to get back inside (apart from the cat flap almost right next to him that he uses regularly).

I know I have posted similar pictures before, but since this usually happens several times every day.

Today, this fluffy fella turns 10. It’s amazing how much joy he has brought us😻

Knold was served a nice helping of birthday snacks right after these pictures.

Today has been a scary day for Knold🙀. We’ve had a couple of carpenters running around both inside and outside, while Knold was confined to the upper floor. When they didn’t make scary noises, Knold was observing them from the cupboard.

There are no photos from when he was hiding under the bed - too many dust bunnies😏
