Chimenea - the World of Things



A chimenea is a freestanding front-loading oven with a bulbous body and usually a vertical chimney typical make from volcanic ash and clay originating from Mexico.
Traces of human life in Mexico go back 20 000 years and differ in development from early western culture by having hieroglyphic writing, commerce and trade, an extensive knowledge of astronomy, a highly accurate calendar system, and religious beliefs featuring a pantheon, a ritualistic ball game, and human and animal sacrifices.
We have a chimenea on our stoep. Excellent for winters and perfect to enjoy warming your body from the outside and a whisky from the inside.
Important dates: 1472 (start of the Aztec empire); 1519 (height of the Aztec empire before being defeated by Cortez); November 2017 (launching of PowaINFRA - an awesome Internet of Things).

Using OPENDNS on a Mikrotik

At the office we use a Mikrotik which is connected via fibre to Cool Ideas.  We use OpenDNS as a Information Security tool.  It prevents ransomware and bots from becoming major incidents within the office.

The router is scheduled to do a daily update via script of the OpenDNS settings.  Below is the example:

:local opendnsuser "user@domain.co.za";
:local opendnspass "itsprivate";
:local opendnshost "office";

:log info "OpenDNS Update";
:local url "https://updates.opendns.com/nic/update";
/tool fetch url=($url . "\3Fhostname=$opendnshost") user=("$opendnsuser") password=("$opendnspass") mode=https dst-path=opendnsupdate.txt
:local opendnsresult [/file get opendnsupdate.txt contents];
:log info "OpenDNS: Host $opendnshost - $opendnsresult";
