A Simple mDNS Responder for the esp8266 and their SDK Version 0.9.3 and above.
mDNS aka Bonjour, avahi, etc. Helps with resolving .local to IP addresses on your local network.
It allows multiple host names and ip resolution (up to 5). It utilizes one (1) UDP connection (out of the 4 that the SDK supports)

Added a button and a page flip, for a second page to the #PiClock #PyQtPiClock running Python #PyQt on the #RaspberryPi.
Goodbye #PiClock hello #PyQtPyClock

So I decided I needed to learn #python to where I can write, not just hack it. So I needed a project, and decided to rewrite the #PiClock on the #RaspberryPi. I used PyQt as the gui.
The previous version was built using a static web page, stored on the file system. It made extensive use of JQuery, and Ajax. It took me a while to decide on the gui. I had to do several proof of concepts trying Tk, Gtk, wx and finally Qt. I settled on Qt because it was the only one that supported transparent backgrounds, and was supported on the #RaspberryPi, but let me develop it on my Windows PC.
