  • Maximizing Cloud Computing

    I’ve always been interested in IoT and today I learned more about Fog Computing, which is the intersection of cloud computing and IoT edge devices. The nodes are closer to the edge devices, minimizing latency and allowing for greater capacity for data storage. One can see security vulnerabilities, though- possible DoS, hijacking, bottlenecks, and so…

  • RaspberryPi and Hardware Control

    This post is going to be somewhat rambling without a clear destination, as this is my initial foray into configuring the Rpi to interact with sensors and such, and thus will be filled with my pokings and proddings. Here we go! First, I have been using the book ‘Make: Linux for Makers’ by Aaron Newcomb,…

    Today I worked on configuring my Raspberry Pi Zero, which has been tucked away in the recesses of my workarea, along with my 5″ Elecrow monitor. Here’s what I did to make the magic happen: First, I downloaded the simple Raspbian OS 32-bit and flashed it to a 16gb SD card. Following this tutorial, I…
