By frequent maternal request

A picture of our sofa, with no humans or dogs for scale (technically, dogs aren’t allowed on the sofa, but sometimes a loophole is exploited, as the rule doesn’t specifically prohibit the sofa-as-springboard technique).

Back to my old theme: fire escape + rain + houseplant(s). (I know this isn’t really what you were looking for, Aunt Alice, but we’ll get some interesting news up soon. I promise.

The TFH Power Project: Adapter Audit

Running the TFH takes some juice. So does keeping it connected to the wider world. Where would we be if we couldn’t, say, dial up a two-year old news package from Knoxville? Or use the Tiny Fun Server as a dedicated remote desktop connection to Reston, Virginia? Or stream music via Melissa’s iPod touch?...
