Going a bit more public

Posted on 30 May 2014 by matthannan

I have been thinking about what a time-sink FB is and how I really don’t enjoy providing them with data to monetize. If my data can be monetized, shouldn’t it be me that gets those monies?

» Install Debian Squeeze/Wheezy on the Pogoplug E02 – Innovations by VinnyMac Productions

Posted on 31 October 2013 by matthannan

Thinking that a small Linux server might be a handy thing to have around. I’ve moved all of my data out to Bitcasa, so having 1TB of local storage is not as necessary as it used to be. In addition to just having a nifty toy to play with, I am thinking of actually using my Arduino and lashing it to the oil burner so that I can see how often it is used.… Read the rest
