Anniversary
Today is the one year anniversary of my first date with Isabelle. It will be a great day.

I recently purchased a Synology DS409 (more on that another time). This has prompted me to restart work on something I have wanted to do since I moved into my apartment three years ago: build an infrastructure to house my e-mail, web, various media, and other content all in one place, all under my direct control. I also want these technologies to allow me to access everything as if I were home. This is not a difficult goal to accomplish– given the right equipment– but does require a number of moving parts that all need to work together. For example, the DS409 will now contain the web root for my web server which will run on a separate box. This not only unifies everything but also allows for RAID protection and backup of a single entity instead of worrying about monitoring several scripts on several boxes.
The following are the products/projects I am looking to employ:
Most of these are open-source and free.
At the Singapore Robotic Games where “automation is a key factor towards advancement… to a technologically sophisticated country” some people have built a maze for robots to run through.
This is very similar to something I had done in high school except my maze and robots were virtual. With the introduction of the LEGO Mindstorms things that were the domain of nerds in academic labs before are now accessible to a wider audience. This audience includes people of a younger age than was commonly seen before. I often wonder what technology that I drooled over a year ago will soon be inexpensive enough for me to buy and screw around with.

This post represents a paradigm shift.
What was once a repository for the everyday crap floating around in my brain is no more. This blog is now a repository for B- everyday crap floating around in my head.
Most posts before this point– minus one or two decent posts– are to be ignored.
No, that subject is not a mistake. I was being clever, doink.
