Install once, use many.

With the internet you can access so many applications say a cooking program to help you prepare meals.


The network configuration is pretty simple. It might look something like this:


But then you can actually set up your own home web server and the network might look something like this. I have separated the web paths from the internet and the local web server  to make things a little clearer.


Now that means you could have even more interesting web applications such as a web desktop. Some with a tablet could still generate documents without having any special applications on the tablet. You even set up many other applications without having to use the web. (http://www.instructables.com/id/Uses-for-your-own-private-cloud/)




So now you have double the pleasure. But what if your internet was cut off or you needed to limit your bandwidth. The the network might look something like this, but you would still have access to your local server. This is sometimes known as an intranet.


Sometimes this is called redundancy. You can actually duplicate sites (where allowed by law) from the net on your own systems. With what is called virtual hosts, you can have multiple completely different web sites on your local server. For example:




Really neat possibilities! One thing, I might also mention is that a lot of companies want you to put their web application on your phone or tablet. It means they truly do not understand the "cloud" concept. Those applications waste space and lessens the control and security over your devices and it's installed applications. Real web designers know how to do craft pages that will work with your tablets and phones without you having to download anything. This makes your local server so much more valuable. Also too, web server generally works just fine on older equipment. So there may be no reason to chunk that old computer.


Yes, it is a web server! To tie everything in, you can use a web applications many, times on many machines but only have to install and update it once as the need arises, Have fun!

You actually can do a minimal windowing from the command line in Linux with dvtm. Dvtm is excellent for low end machines where graphics are not a priority. In the picture shown we have a working clock, SC a spreadsheet that you can easily export data to your favorite desktop spreadsheet such as Libreoffice, Links2 a web browser pointed to www.google.com, and finally nano a pretty decent basic text editor. I prefer vim, but nano has more of a user interface. Cheatsheet: `dvtm` is one simple, easy-to-use terminal multiplexer. Commonly used Options:     -v         prints version information to standard output, then exits.         -m <mod>   set default modifier at runtime.         [cmd...]   Execute cmd after dvtm is started. KeyBoard Shortcuts:     Mod    Each keybinding begins with Mod which defaults to ^g but can  be               changed in config.h or with the -m command line option.                       Mod-c  Create a new shell window.            Mod-x  Cl

Web.com and Network Solutions, the Walmart of the internet.

Web.com bought Network Solutions last month, and also has bought Register.com . Web.com picked up Network Solutions for $405M plus some stock. I have been using an e-commerce package form Network Solution for two years. I wouldn’t have noticed the buy out as the Network Solutions site has not changed. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that Network Solutions was offering some new products such as Gorilla Online Marketing . Soon after that we received a sales call about Gorilla Online Marketing from Network Solutions. When I returned the call the phone was answered by Register.com, I was confused at first but quickly found out about the buy outs. They seem like a good fit, they all target the same types of small to medium size businesses. Network Solution has always had great customer support in my opinion. Their sales people are a little irritating sometimes but they beat the heck out of GoDaddy.com and Comodo.com and you can’t beat the prices. If you can beat the prices ask them for a
