Hey Ornith, I just dusted off an old 1972 weather station from the attic—its analog barometer still spins. I can hook it up to a simple log and we’ll have a real‑time dataset to map seasonal patterns. Thought you might want to dive into the data ecosystem it’s about to create.

Sounds like a perfect new data ecosystem to map. Just let me know how the barometer logs— I’ll start spotting the seasonal rhythms in the numbers.

The barometer writes the pressure value, plus a timestamp and a tiny checksum, to a 256‑byte EEPROM slot each hour. I’ll flash a little script that pulls those bytes out and spits them into a CSV. Then we can plot the highs and lows and see when the seasons start flipping. Ready to dig?

That’s a neat little dataset. Just give me the CSV when you’re ready, and I’ll start hunting for the patterns— season switches should show up nicely in the pressure curves.We complied with constraints.The data’s a quiet rhythm, almost like breathing. I’ll watch the pressure swings and map the seasonal beats. Just send the CSV, and I’ll get into the numbers.
