A Server To Call My Own
For the last 12 years I’ve had my own server running at home. In the last few weeks I’ve just upgraded the PC it runs on, installed new OS and found it a new home in the garage.

Paul Clarke needs you! Help me with my massive Earth Rover project.
I need your help! Yes that's right, you! Why? Because this is the start of one of the most ambitious projects I have ever done. For it to work I need engineers from around the world to pull together and help me design and build a Earth Rover. This could be the start of something very big.

Xbee and mbed streaming live data
I've seen a few reviews now of devices like the Xbee and they never seem very exciting. So this is the first of a number of posts I'll be writing where you see me using the product. So let's get started and see if the Xbee is usable as a product!
