A very very few of you might possibly have seen that I “like” pogoplug on facebook.
Which isn’t strictly true, it’s just what you get for pressing buttons at random.
I do have a pogoplug but I’ve not had it quite long enough to say that I “like” it yet. That said, it seems to do what it said it would. So that’s definitely a plus point.
Another plus point is that you can install extra software – if you’re fairly tech-savvy and prepared to faff around trying to find out how.
It seems there’s two ways of installing extra programs,
- Method A: do some faffing and then just install stuff. Your little pink pogoplug works as before with extra bells on it.
- Method B: do some faffing around and then jsut install stuff. Except your pogoplug is now no-longer really a pogoplug, it’s another linux box. You lose the my.pogoplug function!
Guess which one the “community” has opted for? Now guess which one I went for?
Yup, I bought a pogoplug, and I kinda want it to keep all the original functionality, apparently unlike the real men out there.
Anyhow, so I’ve got this thing and I’ve installed a webserver, all it displays is “hi”, but from little acorns…..
Except, I have a webserver already thank you very much – you’re looking at it. So what do I do with all the groovy programs I can install on the little 4-watt box?
