Planning for a Cocktail night

2011-07-24 fash Leave a comment

I love making cocktails for my ladies, but for the occasional drink, now for a cocktail night.

See my other post about my cocktail bar in another post.

30th Juli I’m entertaining Arja, Coline and Monique by serving cocktails.

So i made a little list of cocktails to choose from.
I say choose, i could not have guessed i’d have to make them all!

One page of the cocktail list, with scorecards

So i made a little generator

Using a blank template png and a bash script i generated above.

#!/bin/bash
cp cocklist-leeg.png 1.png
xstart=450
ystart=300
xspace=30
yspace=40
# deze straks uitrekenen
nextitem=170
nextrow=550
ls drinks | sort -n  | grep -v totallist | while read drink; do
if [ $(echo $drink | cut -c-2 ) -gt 90 ] 
then 
	color="#ffcc00"  
else 
	color="#ff7406" 
fi
convert -font Impact.ttf -fill "$color" -pointsize 43 -annotate +$xstart+$ystart "$(echo $drink | cut -c3- )" 1.png 2.png
echo $drink
xstart2=$[$xstart + $xspace]
ystart2=$[$ystart + $yspace]
convert -font Trebuchet_MS_Bold_Italic.ttf -fill black -pointsize 30 -annotate +$xstart2+$ystart2 "$(cat "drinks/$drink")" 2.png 3.png
cp 3.png 1.png
echo -n "       "
echo $(cat "drinks/$drink")
lines=$[ $(cat "drinks/$drink"|wc -l) * 36 ]
lines=$[lines + 65]
ystart=$[$ystart + $lines]

if [ $ystart -gt 1900 ] ; then ystart=300 ; xstart=$[$xstart + $nextrow]
fi



done
cp 3.png cocktailist.png

Directory structure

makecock        # above script
Impact.ttf      # used font
Trebuchet_MS_Bold_Italic.ttf # used font
cocklist-leeg.png            # Empty template
drinks/01Alien (shooter)     # Drinks dir
drinks/07Half and half (Shooter)

Files in the drink directory have the short list of ingredients.

Blue curacau,
Whisky cream

Run the script and you end up with the above images. Have fun.

Some drinks that evening:

I made a better cocktail bar after this adventure.
Well .. i gave three ladies an orgasm this night, not bad 🙂

I made a very bad playlist .. but I was even dancing the Macarena at 4am.

Maybe you also have a white area to fill, here is a suggestion.

For years we collected picture frames, weird and ugly.
We wanted to have a collection of images in our staircase, to fill the white area.
The images are all something we like, have interest in or are personal.

It needed to be on 3 walls, so here was my first design.

Beer crate bottle counter

2002-05-17 fash

Post in 2002 due to screenshot .. dont know when i build it, some years before.

Using 24 pushbuttons and a IO expander, i could count the bottles in a crate. Probably used something like a hef4067 ??

Now i probably use a weight sensor or a beer cap counter using a webcam image.

Notification to email and shopping list printer.

Every bottle had to be placed back upside down so the opening of the bottle would not press down on the button. Later i used springs which could hold a empty bottle elevated above the button. The weight of a full bottle would press on the button.
