Field Trip to Henrietta Prairie, Hirschi Prairie, and NPAT Board Meeting

Filed under: — Stormwind @ 7:22 pm

When: Saturday and Sunday, July 28th-29th
Where: Clay and Archer Counties, TX

Come see large amounts of native prairie in and around the Henrietta Prairie!  See native grasses, native flowers and other native plants, and probably grassland birds, butterflies, and other native pollinators.

The Henrietta Prairie region is the western part of the Cross Timbers and Prairies (Clay and Archer Counties) in a transition zone between the tallgrass prairies of the region and the mixed-grass prairies of the Rolling Plains.

Jim Edison says "this area looks like the Flint Hills [of Kansas/Oklahoma] in terms of scale" of the amount of native prairie that still exists, so it should be an impressive prairie trip for fans of native prairies, grassland birds, and native plants! (more…)

MisterHouse Using 100% CPU? One solution is…

Filed under: — Stormwind @ 1:39 pm

MisterHouseI’ve had a problem where MisterHouse was slowly growing and eventually using 100% of CPU time.  I was very irritated by this waste of CPU and electricity, and I think I finally tracked down a solution.

If you are not using MisterHouse triggers, disable trigger_code.pl and triggers.mhp.  (I also disable every single file whose functionality I am not using.)

Go to MisterHouse’s web admin interface.  In MrHouse Home -> Setup MrHouse -> Common Code Activation, disable trigger_code.pl.  In MrHouse Home -> Setup MrHouse -> User Code Activation, disable triggers.mhp.

Disabling these two files stopped a periodic five minute reload of all user code, and has seemed to stop the CPU and memory growth of MisterHouse.
