Information
I have a redmine install that I am using for my personal projects. It helps me log tasks/features that I want to implement in my projects while I think of them instead of “Oh, I really need to remember that for later!” (The remembering never actually happens).
Redmine.llamabyte.com
I am using a pretty standard sendmail configuration to allow redmine (and some other programs) to send emails easily.
Redmine also has the ability to receive emails as well, and add them as issues/tasks to projects.
That way, I can send an email to redmine@NotLlamabyte.com with:
Add a new feature to allow sending emails if the program crashes.
Project: myNewProgram
Tracker: Feature
Priority: Urgent
And, redmine will parse that and create a new Urgent feature request on “myNewProgram” project with the text “Add a new feature to allow sending emails if the program crashes.”
This will be great for creating tasks from my phone, or as a “Feature Request” button in my actual programs themselves, so my users can easily request things.
This is a post that will try to document my sendmail configuration since I have spent a few days trying to make it work properly.
I have setup sendmail such that email to [anything] @ llamabyte.com will forward to my personal gmail account. However an email sent to wwolfe @ pulsar.llamabyte.com will remain in my local mailbox.
DroidLockBox Build Log
This is my post about the technical details of building the box. Hopefully I will provide enough information for someone else to build their own, or gather some knowledge from my mistakes and triumphs.
DroidLockBox
What is it?
The DroidLockBox is a small wooden box that locks and unlocks using an application running on an android based cellphone.
Why?
Well, there are a few reasons why I chose to build this box. First and foremost, I wanted a fun and unique (read: geeky) means of proposing to my (now) fiancée, Heather.
I had read The Reverse Geocache Puzzle story awhile back and thought it was a fantastic idea. As I was thinking about a creative way to propose, this Reverse Geocache puzzle came to my mind. I thought to myself, “Hey, self, you might be able to do something similar.”
And, of course, the other reason I wanted to build it: To see if I could.
I just installed WordPress and I plan on using it for my whole website. Still getting used to a few things, but so far so good.
Found a nice theme that I like, and a couple neat plugins that should help keep the site nice a tidy.
