Copy all of these into a single directory, make sure you've got a recent version of Vagrant and Virtualbox installed, then just... vagrant up

Vagrant will start a "simple" Windows 2012r2 box, created (presumably) by the fine folks at OpenTable and then it runs the provisioning sequence:

• This will first run the ChocoBootstrap.cmd file to load Chocolatey onto the box (via InstallChocolatey.ps1)
• It then uses chocolatey to install BoxStarter using the InstallBoxStarter.bat script
• Lastly, it copies the BoxStarterOperations.txt file to %temp% and then executes it via RunBoxstarter.bat

This was all made a lot easier due to these blog posts

Using this script

Place this batch file and the text file into the same directory, edit the batch file to specify the key server and the text file to specify the names to encrypt.

If you hit an issue where an individual has multiple keys against their name, the script may well complain and ditch responses. In this case, uncomment the line in the batch file which says: REM %COMMAND% --recv-keys <KEY ID>

So it should say instead: %COMMAND% --recv-keys DECAFBAD

runas for Unix-like Systems

Download these two files, and place them in /usr/local/bin. Chmod them to 755, and chown them to root:root.

Then, perform the following command:

runas -u someuser command

Use your Debian System as an iBeacon for Home Automation

Introduction

I have been playing with using the https://Home-Assistant.io system at home to play with Home Automation.

One thing I've found is that the Raspberry Pi is perfect for quite a few of the monitoring things that I wanted it to do (see also https://github.com/JonTheNiceGuy/home-assistant-configs for more details of what I'm doing there!).

I'm using the http://OwnTracks.org application to talk to an MQTT server, but I could also do with it knowing where I am in the house, so I looked around for some details on iBeacons.

iBeacon is an Apple standard, but it's very easy to configure on Linux systems. I took some pointers from this article and wrote up this script. When I later went to deploy this on another system, I also needed a pointer from [this PDF](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/pibeacon-ib

The following scripts are tools I use on a regular basis to run simple activities on the K5 platform. They can fairly easily be modified to work with OpenStack (and, probably in many cases, will work without modifications).

These are all written by me in my spare time, and are released under the WTFPL.

Redirector

This script is a simple script to redirect you from your site to other locations. It's a very basic short-link generator.
