I finally made it to 3D Camp on Saturday, Ireland's last remaining BarCamp-style event. Fantastic group of people talking about interesting fun things. My presentation was called: Hacking by Google Search - Building hardware with no electronics knowledge.
It literally took 5 minutes to remotely control the Efergy RC mains sockets using the brilliant Cloud Pebble and Simply.js
Now that I can control the Efergy RC mains sockets easily with a DigiX Arduino, it's time to make the same thing work on Node.js running on a Raspberry Pi. Turns out it's not quite so easy!
Take some simple RC electric sockets that arrive in the post from Electric Ireland and make them web-powered, with almost no effort.
It wasn't easy but I'm now nearly happy with my all-new GitHub-Pages-hosted HarpJS-generated static blog. Here are all the gory details.
WordPress enabled a huge number of people to get their blogs and web-sites online with almost zero effort. But the ongoing effort of maintaining it has many people, including me, reverting to more complex tools like HarpJS
Asking the question 'I wonder if you can run Node.js on Android'
