Mark Gjøl

Coder, photographer, grump. Average Home theater nut.

Been at programming professionally since 2007, currently trying to get to keep doing it rather than getting stuck in meetings. Once was Java, dabbled in Android (Floating Image notable mention), now focused on C# and Azure. Clean, maintainable code and doing the right things right is my jazz (or techno or metal).

Posts in Danish if only relevant to Denmark, English if relevant generally.

Don’t be rude, follow basic netiquette.

  • @avidamoeba I kind of use it. The interface isn’t as intuitive as Tidal - which isn’t great to begin with. Wiim, which is another step down, is also better. It’s nice that you can play the same music across multiple systems, but since it cannot sync the music across players it’s not quite good enough for any use case I have had.

    I do use it for automating my kid’s alarm in the morning on her Sonos speaker. Which also has an alarmingly high failure rate, but that’s because the speaker turns off and needs a prod to wake up again.




  • @spaghettiwestern The two that made me dive into the home assistant rabbit hole:

    1. When the rabbits are out around sunset (door sensor on their cage) lights turn red and my and my wife’s phone get a notification. Too many times we remembered that the rabbits were loose while it was pitch black. Not too good with black rabbits…

    2. Fixing the mess that is my Marantz receiver, communicating with my TV over hdmi and lately my wiim streamer. Turn it on and off depending on need, controlling zone 2 as well as turning on power for the zone 2 amplifier when it’s used in the receiver. The ridiculous part here is that it’s necessary - these things should just work!
