I was looking for something to do with this Ardunio Nano that I had gotten. So I decided to create a clock in a steampunk style with copper and analog gauges. [More]

Today we learn how to use an ssh client to port forward some tcp/ip traffic through an ssh tunnel. In this case we are going to make a connection to a remote vnc server across the internet. [More]

Just what is a binary clock? Instead of using numbers like 1,2,3,4 etc to display the digits it show the numbers in binary format. Unlike standard numbers which are base 10, binary numbers are base 2. [More]
