Let’s continue with our computer-themed Anki decks! This time I’m dropping a deck of words and short phrases dedicated exclusively to interacting with our computer desktop. I find when I’m trying to explain how to do something on a computer, I have to resort to English too often simply because I don’t know the vocabulary for something I use everyday.

In our last tutorial we registered a domain name and set up dynamic DNS. Today we’re going to go over the relatively easy task of adding a subdomain to our website. Continue reading Raspberry Pi Apache2 Web Server on Raspbian, Part 3.5
Nearly every American child at one point during their primary education was made to sing at least the first verse of the song Yankee Doodle. And though we may have dutifully sung it, few of us knew at the time, or know now, what the song is about. Continue reading Dandy Macaroni

Let me begin by saying that nearly every guide on how to set up a web server on a Raspberry Pi isn’t written for the intended consumer market of the Raspberry Pi — noobs. The Raspberry Pi was made to help noobs (like me) understand the basic concepts behind computer science. The assumption of most tutorial writers is that the reader is comfortable using the … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Apache2 Web Server on Raspbian, Part 1
