Have fun For the first couple of weeks, I was finding it hard to actually enjoy myself. While working in an office, there are plenty of entertaining things going on. You hear side conversations that interest you, you bump into colleagues that you enjoy, youtube links are dropped into chat, etc. All of these things […]
I had a bout of insomnia last night and decided to play with Docker. For the uninitiated, Docker is a like chroot on steroids. It allows for applications to be force to run within a specific context, disallowing them to break out of that context (where context can be CPU allocation, hardware allocation, filesystem scoping, etc.).

We now have a working WebUI (though it is a bit minimal at the moment), […]
My wife and I both have Google Nexus 5 phones (maybe I’ll write more about that decision later) and couldn’t be happier. However, prior to our current setup, we had a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGS3) we passed around for a while until the screen broke: Beyond the screen having cracks in it, everything works perfectly […]
