&lt;h2 id=&quot;using&quot;&gt;Using&lt;&#x2F;h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When importing Batmon as a module you have access to the &lt;code&gt;get_battery_status()&lt;&#x2F;code&gt;
procedure which will return a &lt;code&gt;Battery&lt;&#x2F;code&gt; object you can use elsewhere.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also, you have access to the notification handler module, where you can build
and send your own notifications:&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

And all through the house&lt;br &#x2F;&gt;
The creatures were stirring&lt;br &#x2F;&gt;
Even the mouse!&lt;br &#x2F;&gt;
It scurried up the staircase&lt;br &#x2F;&gt;

&quot;Warning! Duration of hangover is proportionate to age!&quot;&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

        <content type="html" xml:base="https://paulwilde.uk/ponderings/peanut-butter/">&lt;p&gt;This is the easiest thing in the world.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dry-fry (no oil etc.) the peanuts in the large frying pan for about 10 mins or for as long as it takes for the peanuts to become golden brown.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This will encourage the oils in the peanuts to release - which is exactly what we want!&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Put the now-roasted peanuts into the blender and blend.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Blend, blend, blend and blend some more.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There will be a point when you think nothing&#x27;s happening and the small bits of peanut are just moving around the blender, or just stuck in place. Give the stuck pieces a nudge with a spatula and get back to blending.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Blend, blend, blend even more until, eventually, the mixture starts to bind together and turn into a thick solid mass.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep blending and the mixture will loosen up become a lovely, smooth, peanut butter.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spoon out into a suitable container and allow to cool (or just eat it there and then, I won&#x27;t judge you).&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Top Tips  =&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you prefer a chunky peanut butter, save some of the roasted peanuts back and only put them into the blended mixture at the end with a bit of a stir - lovely!&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;

        <content type="html" xml:base="https://paulwilde.uk/ponderings/basicdough/">&lt;p&gt;If you have a bread maker:&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;add the water, salt, sugar, herbs, oil, flour and yeast&#x2F;sourdough starter
&lt;strong&gt;IN THAT ORDER&lt;&#x2F;strong&gt; to the bread maker&#x27;s container.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You &lt;em&gt;must&lt;&#x2F;em&gt; add them in that order, or at least water first else the
mixture will not mix correctly.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;set the bread maker to its &quot;dough&quot; setting and set it going - job done!&lt;br &#x2F;&gt;
(P.S. you can just use this same recipe as a regular bread too - just set the
bread maker to the regular &quot;bread&quot; mode)&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At this point I normally transfer the dough to a suitable container and
cover it to let it rise.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Without a bread maker:&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;add the flour, salt, sugar, herbs and yeast&#x2F;sourdough starter to the
large mixing bowl and dry mix them all together.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;form a well in the middle of the flour mixture and slowly pour in the
water bit by bit, mixing the flour mixture into the water as you go&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;continue to mix the flour and water mixture, you&#x27;re going to need to use
your hands, but give it a good mix until everything is mixed together well.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;you want the dough to still be a bit wet, so if it&#x27;s dry, add a bit more
water&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;dust the large chopping board with flour and turn out the wet-ish dough
ball onto the board.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Knead the dough, &lt;em&gt;a lot!&lt;&#x2F;em&gt; Just keep kneading, adding more flour if
necessary.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;As you knead you&#x27;ll noticed the dough ball become more smooth and
springy, but it will also feel &quot;stronger&quot;&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once the ball is nice and firm, but still springy, place it into a suitable
container and cover to let it rise.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After a few hours of rising time (longer if you&#x27;re using sourdough starter)
your dough will, hopefully, have risen enormously. You can now use it.
I&#x27;ll be adding recipes for &lt;a href=&quot;&#x2F;recipes&#x2F;&quot;&gt;pizzas&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;&#x2F;recipes&#x2F;&quot;&gt;naans&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; and other
things that use this dough here, eventually.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

This is my website which will contain my general thoughts, utterings,
maybe my opinions, possibly some tech stuff I find interesting, some of the
recipes I cook and want to remember the ingredients of and a bit of artwork I
draw for fun and I in no way claim to be a good artist in any way.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;some-things-about-me-i&quot;&gt;Some things about me. I :&lt;&#x2F;h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;am an IT Professional.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I run my own &lt;a href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wilde-it.co.uk&quot;&gt;IT Business&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; that provides IT consulting, assistance and procurement services to local businesses (Devon, South West UK).&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;am an Open Source advocate&#x2F;evangelist.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I try to use Open Source products in my personal and working life as often as possible.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;am data privacy conscious.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I believe we shouldn&#x27;t pay for products or services with our personal data and &quot;marketability&quot;&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I don&#x27;t use the mainstream social media services. You shouldn&#x27;t either.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;use &lt;a href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archlinux.org&quot;&gt;Arch Linux&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; btw …&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&quot;some-information-about-this-site-it&quot;&gt;Some information about this site. It :&lt;&#x2F;h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;was created using &lt;a href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getzola.org&quot;&gt;Zola&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;is built with efficiency in mind; It&#x27;s small and light and quick to view.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;uses no JavaScript (except a little bit for &lt;a href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;plausible.io&quot;&gt;Plausible Analytics&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;, forgive me).&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;runs on an &lt;a href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;caddyserver.com&quot;&gt;Caddy&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; server on top of a &lt;a href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rockylinux.org&quot;&gt;Rocky Linux&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; VPS provided by &lt;a href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ovh.com&quot;&gt;OVH&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
