Coworking spaces in Portland, OR
Three collaborative spaces I know well enough to recommend, written up in response to a friend’s search. Collective Agency Open floorplan collectivist space, with lots of community facilities including a full kitchen and side rooms with whiteboards and phones. Some have reported eerie quiet in the main area during the day weirds them out but you should try it and see for yourself. They host an all-day open house once monthly.
FUSE vs the Temp Files
I moved my Documents folder into camli (on my home ARM server) and have been accessing it via FUSE for 10 days or so. Overall, the FUSE filesystem has been unstable. 1. FUSE exits occasionally without explaination This is probably an easy fix, I haven’t looked at the code yet. 2. writes block until everything has been uploaded successfully This is painful over slow links. Not only does the writing app (VIM/sublime) block, but also things tmux (not sure why, maybe only one thread in FUSE somewhere?
Beaglebone Storage Server
install debian My Beaglebone (shipped March 15) came stock with Angstrom, which I replaced with the official BB Debian image. Beaglebones are now shipping with Debian preinstalled. http://beagleboard.org/latest-images http://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/beaglebone-black-installing-operating-systems.pdf trim down The Beaglebone Debian image comes with a bunch of useful stuff (Git, tmux) but it only leaves about 120MB for installing application packages, log files, etc. To see a list of manually installed packages sorted by size, open aptitude and

Grid systems research https://wiki.thingsandstuff.org/Grid/rhythm http://fourkitchens.com/blog/2013/10/14/singularity-grids-without-limits Prioritize result over process purity I am using Harp to build my pages. However, it is sub-optimal when it comes to CSS and JS builds. For CSS, I think I need to be using Ruby Sass instead of libsass, which Harp doesn’t do. For JS, Brunch or Grunt I think. They are purpose-built for that. Maybe something like this makes sense: Sass -> public/styles Brunch -> public/scripts Unfortunately, Harp doesn’t support –watch for compile mode.

Camlistore
Background Last Friday Don Park pointed me at the project, which started as a Google 20% project and has since been open sourced (when?). There’s a lot to like about Camli for content producers concerned that about the erosion of control over their digital legacy due to “leaking” of their various creative works into content stores controlled by third social providers, ad networks, and spying agencies. Social network TOS typically grant the network provider with various rights over your content, while ad networks and spying agencies never asked your permission in the first place.
