Campfires

Stay Warm, When You Need It Most

Bonfires, Fire Pits, Camp Fires and Lasting Memories

Lab Work – 1Fyr, Campfires and More

Lasting Memories: Do you miss those days down on the farm, sharing smores, fishing, fireworks, campfires and stories by the lake?

Way, way back when, farm fires i.e. bonfires at the fire pit, were a weekend treat. After a long week of hard work, sweat and dirt, a campfire by the lake was where we would be. Family, friends, most have come and gone. Remembering those days is just as important as looking ahead to the days we spend around a future fireplace, campfire, bonfire, or firepit.

I wanted to do a throwback post about the days of the past, only to quickly refocus that energy on the future, a future time with friends and family. In the new year, stay safe, be well and enjoy time with the people you care about most. We thank those of you who support our efforts, our vision, our families. We will be bringing back 1Fyr videos once the pool cage is complete… It’s been along time, some 8 months since our last video post to 1fyr.com. So, if it’s a campfire that brings back a memory (a fond memory down on the farm), it did for us. Enjoy the New Year, be safe, be well. Happy New Year.

We miss those days, sharing with friends and family around the campfire. In the meantime, here are some of our favorite stories by the campfire via YouTube, One, Alfie’s The Long Fire, or Dan’s Self-Feeding Fire. Have a favorite story or campfire activity?

Projects Forthcoming

Projects In Flight, On The Way

We are on it, see our output

Tech | Tools – Projects Forthcoming

Output Updates, more Projects Forthcoming. You’ll find new Gear, Gadgets, Games, Lessons and more… We produce more content!

Many moons later, after months of hard work, revisions, and a touch of magic, voila! Projects Forthcoming! More content, ready to be read, viewed, and enjoyed on the interwebs. Coming your way in mid ’21. We’ve got some exciting Star Wars content, including cartoons, one-offs, action figures, toys collectables and comic books. And if you love Star Wars, remember to check out the source code or as they say “Use the Source!” Great holiday gifts include the Seinfeld series, power tools, hosting issues (Hostgator, BlueHost and NewFold/Endurance experiment). Speaking of fun things, Dogeminer2, the second greatest – mouse click game. First, being Dogeminer in my opinion, IMO.

Other Projects On The Horizon

How about tinkering with the Raspberry Pi – RPI4 Touch (featured image for this post)? Maybe dive into GA(Google Analytics, WordPress features, or explore some fire videos on 1Fyr.com | mbemo.com. Oh and by the way, MBEMO fell to some hackery, so I’m moving it forward and repurposing it as a PHP reference guide. Future updates will include moving old topics.

MBEMO has been moved and repurposed; now a PHP reference guide or resource. Anyway, It’s back up, running… Favorite part of Projects Forthcoming or ‘keeping up with the new’. Likewise, BurmPy is in build, as I’m able to focus on the old and retro! Some new stuff coming this year. Anything from iPhone | Android game apps, tools and ‘hackery’. Some might be good, some bad, but most will be interesting. Stay tuned for more updates!

This is a good time to share other articles on the way and by the time you read this article, we’ve posted updates and more than a few articles on similar topics. Legos – Board Housing and Tablet support.

1fyr Bootstrap

Versioning Update, 1Fyr.com

1fyr Bootstrap v3

Lab Work – 1Fyr

**UPDATED** 1FYR.com – 1Fyr TWBSv3 Update

It’s time, time to update the version for 1Fyr, 1Fyr Bootstrap v3. Like many things in this world, it was time for a tune up, we are moving 1fyr.com to Bootstrap v3. So, what does that mean?

Tune up includes, code clean up, the removal of any deprecated elements, code and/or elements no longer being supported moving forward. WP jargon went out with the ‘bath water’ as did some of the bloat. V3 added a framework of sorts, adding Bootstrap framework to this site. With the code change, we’ve made some website improvements: show/hide div’s on the latest fire, archived videos presented in a more favorable fashion and the Jumbotron…

While the yard is being worked on per say, (2 months now) the fire concept has been put on ice to say the least. Again, which aloud me to refocus on the site, code tweaks and more. We kept it simple using TWBS v3. Once we get the backyard up and running again, we will post videos…

While we wait, or in the meantime. For the sake of historical reference and ultimately, how we got here. More information can be found here, about campfires and family time on 1fyr.com. Or, you can stay here, and read about the 1Fyr build and/or 1Fyr updates.

1FYR Update

Updates, Website Moves and Outdoor Fun

1Fyr.com And More

Lab Work – 1FYR Update And Other Work

Update: The move to Bootstrap V3… in coming soon. Stay tuned for that. But for now, back to the test case, SOLVER. Let’s get you up to speed…

(<< REWIND) We were exploring ways to play around with our cameras, light/exposure, and enhance our film during dusk. Dusk, after twilight, is being the most challenging time. You might not know, but some of the best light is during twilight . The sunset light here on the coast offers dramatic colors, landscapes, shapes, and textures to capture in images or videos. Texture refers to the subtle and stark contrasts of color. (>> FF) Our experiments continue as we have some fun along the way. Campfire, music, food… what more could you want?

As you will see, fires can be unpredictable, especially at dusk. We enjoy the process of building, stoking, enjoying and extinguishing a fire every month or so. We cook up some burgers, grilled sandwiches, hotdogs, and s’mores if we’re lucky. And there you have it – INTERNET CONTENT!

1Fyr Updates

Fire At Sunset

Islane Fire

S’Mores Time

I’d like to see us get to a point where we can post more videos, more often, weather permitting. Anyhow, the goal of this test was to capture and correct lighting affects. We use Adobe Premiere (Not A Sponsor) and share with you via the interwebs. We’ll post some Premiere content in next quarter or so. That might make some good content as the video/editing process is hit or miss as a noob. You know the sunlight, sun angle, twilight and how/what device captured the subject; meaning what device or camera was used to capture said subject. 1FYR Update, we chose fire, of course. A caveat, (loophole) we don’t see snow here in the South… Snow can be fun to film. All too often I forget/fail to mention the rainy season as well. Pre/post rain storms can create dramatics, drama that’s what we need! Before I move onto the subject of this post (yes, side tangent…) Don’t forget to check out 1fyr.com.

The next test case will include steel, torches and welders, yet to be purchased… Still trying to iron out what that might look like on ‘film’. But we have a few contenders to start, need to fix the campfire tool set. Specifically the shovel has all but worn through its welds and sits in two. The campfire brush is worn out to say the least, adding that to the refresh pile. The campfire grilling surface (an old repurposed baking rack) might need a little attention as well. There are more, but hopefully we’ve captured your attention.

Lastly, we will probably review some gear, welders, torches, protective clothing etc etc. Leaving you with a cliff hanger of sorts. More to come…

Family and friends, come and enjoy the outdoors; 1Fyr.com! We are currently waiting for new content as our resources have run dry for the moment.
