[57north-discuss] Stuff in the space

[Calum Chisholm]

Hi Rob,
I brought the pyrometer in, but dumped it on Hibbie prior to my departure -
best to check with him first, but I suspect it's up for grabs it anyone
wants it.

I had originally intended to use it for "Rule zero" compliance, having it
serve an "Am I On Fire Yet?" web page - a nice IoT starter-project for
someone perhaps? Another thought was to monitor UK Government
communications and warn when the temperature reaches 451deg F. (or if it
drops back below 451, depending on your worldview).

It would be a shame to see it binned, but I'm not in a position to do
anything with it at present, so...

C.
