| I deal with preserving older technology in operational status lately and previously used a PowerPC running Lucid Lynx. I utilize a kirkwood-based [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheevaPlug|SheevaPlug]] for back-end operations at home where tasks are either repetitive or are not necessarily interactive. As Ubuntu does not support the kirkwood variant of ARM I end up gaining proficiency with [[http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/|Debian]] using Squeeze on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheevaPlug|SheevaPlug]]. My principal desktop computer is a [[http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/texas-instruments-beagleboard/685|BeagleBoard-xM]] that is running the armel release of Oneiric Ocelot. | I have currently bricked a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheevaPlug|SheevaPlug]] and am hurriedly repurposed my [[http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/texas-instruments-beagleboard/685|BeagleBoard-xM]] to bridge the gap. Thanks to the SSH client I found for my [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_e71x|my old-timey Nokia smartphone]], I still have remote access to a number of things including machines in-house. The desktop is a hand-me-down that has outright crashed booting the LTS live CD but yet somehow booted the installers for [[http://www.vectorlinux.com/|VectorLinux]] Light 7.0 and [[http://www.mageia.org/|Mageia]] 2 successfully. My desktop provides experience in other Linux traditions to help broaden my horizons. My netbook from System76 runs Xubuntu 12.04.1 and travels with me frequently. |

| Tiered service levels is how I describe my view of computing at home. My operations are split among [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_e71x|my smartphone]], the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheevaPlug|SheevaPlug]], my netbook running Xubuntu, and the desktop that is based on the [[http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/texas-instruments-beagleboard/685|BeagleBoard]]. No one device alone covers all that I want to do. In keeping a presence in differing processor platforms I can help serve my community by providing a knowledge base of experience. | Currently I am looking to acquire another ARM board to balance load as well as at least one Arduino to build a bit of a smarter recording radio receiver to put into unattended deployment at a central location in Ashtabula County.

About Me
I am the Head Writer at Erie Looking Productions and present The Burning Circle, the podcast of the Ohio LoCo Team. The podcast now has over sixty episodes and has been active for over a calendar year. Outside the Ubuntu realm I have presented since December 2007 LISTen: An LISNews.org Podcast which deals with more general issues in the realm of library and information science.
I have currently bricked a SheevaPlug and am hurriedly repurposed my BeagleBoard-xM to bridge the gap. Thanks to the SSH client I found for my my old-timey Nokia smartphone, I still have remote access to a number of things including machines in-house. The desktop is a hand-me-down that has outright crashed booting the LTS live CD but yet somehow booted the installers for VectorLinux Light 7.0 and Mageia 2 successfully. My desktop provides experience in other Linux traditions to help broaden my horizons. My netbook from System76 runs Xubuntu 12.04.1 and travels with me frequently.
Currently I am looking to acquire another ARM board to balance load as well as at least one Arduino to build a bit of a smarter recording radio receiver to put into unattended deployment at a central location in Ashtabula County.
I have been an Ubuntu Member since March 15, 2012.
