About this site
MyDogHatesTechnology.com was born out of my frustration with my dog Marley. No,
she wasn't named after the book or the movie. When I first got her she was destructive,
but only towards expensive electronics. The whole story is in my blog, "Raising a dog after college."
This site used to be my attempt at making puzzels, games, and other random web applications
on a semi-regular basis. Now it's just a dumping ground for random thoughts, and a small web presence.
Newsflash! I've decommissioned my old Windows server, and replaced it with
an even older, less capable ARM based Linux plug computer!

- 1.2GHz Kirkwood 88F6281 processor
- L1 Cache: 16K Instruction + 16K Data
- L2 Cache: 256KB
- DDR2 400MHz, 16-bit bus
- 512MB DDR2: 1Gb x8, 4 devices

This plug computer pretty much takes care of all my needs. I can host webapps like this (legacy), host my svn repos, and it satisfies my Linux tinkering desires.
