While I was looking at a few things while the girls were napping today, it struck me that I still have the same old default favicon I had when I initially set up my account. So I built a new one at http://www.favicon.cc.

Arch Linux (and ownCloud) on a PogoPlug POGO-E02
Update: Please see my newer articles about getting Debian running on the E02’s as well as a functional ownCloud instance.
PogoPlug hardware seems to be notoriously mislabeled as to the version it is running. My experience was no exception. I ordered a POGO-P21, the label on the box showed it was a P21, but the label on the foot of the device shows that it’s the Kirkwood-based E02. A good hint to this is the following output from ‘cat /proc/cpuinfo’ when SSH’ed to the device while running the native Pogo software (credit to the thread at http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=2133 for this information):
Processor : ARM926EJ-S rev 1 (v5l)
BogoMIPS : 1192.75
Get your basic Arch environment installed using the instructions at http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray for the E02 version. For other models, you’re on your own. For my E02, I was operational in the Arch environment after following these steps and rebooting.
Next steps are as follows (currently incomplete, but a good start):
#Update your base system
pacman -Syu
#Install Apache 2.2
pacman -S extra/apache
#Install PHP (I think this will include several of the required modules for ownCloud, as commented below)
pacman -S extra/php
# Confirm installation of php-json later using:
# php /usr/include/php/ext/json/
# php /usr/include/php/ext/json/php_json.h
# php /usr/lib/php/modules/json.so
# Add “extension=json.so” to /etc/php/php.ini
# per http://chakra-project.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=7928
# May be same for PHP XML per http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/php/files/
# ^ also mbstring
# ^ and gd
# ^ perhaps zip.so, but under modules.
pacman -S curl
# Say “y” to install
# php5-curl as usr/lib/php/modules/curl.so?
wget http://owncloud.org/releases/owncloud-latest.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf owncloud-latest.tar.bz2
mv owncloud /srv/http/
Right now, I have a working HTTP server, but that’s all I have the time for this evening. PHP is not yet operational, permissions are not yet configured, and there is nothing in place to lock things down. With a little luck I’ll have an opportunity to revisit this article and post some additional information to finalize your setup in the near future. Good luck!

Oxygen Cloud

Interesting idea for storage, something to keep in mind and look into a little further.

Livefyre | Powering the World’s Conversations

Looks interesting. It has sometimes felt like there’s a lack of bidirectionality between blogging and social media accounts, and Livefyre looks like it might be one piece in completing the circle. Of course, there are other things that would help with that as well, but finding the time to learn and understand them is sometimes challenging.

Cluster build environment
This is quite an interesting build sheet linked from the screenshots at http://netkiller.sourceforge.net. Most of my design doesn’t get into this kind of depth – and in fact, stays almost exclusively at the layer 2/layer 3 level, below what’s generally reflected here. There’s just a zen-like aura surrounding this diagram, and as I reviewed it, a feeling of peace came over me. So, I thought I’d mark it in case I do need to design at this scope at some point in the future.
