Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption

How to make your own Xanadu demo

Twitter informed that a demo of Xanadu had launched, so I went to have a look. The demo only works in Firefox and it seems to be a cut down version of demos that I've seen Ted Nelson give in the past. But still: running code in the wild.

I met Ted Nelson once when we both spoke at an STM Innovations conference in 2006. I suspect he wouldn't have agreed with my much of my talk which looked at the web as a hypertext system and compared it with earlier approaches. My point of view was that we could bring those features back into the web by creating new services and by exploiting Javascript and web browsers to upgrade our experience of using the web. Evolution doesn't need to happen in a coordinated centralised way.

(When I say I met Ted Nelson, I meant that I shyly sat next to him at lunch while he expounded on various topics and fiddled with the tape recorder he was using to record all his conversations. So maybe, "met" isn't the right word (he won't

With the new theming in AppCompat, a lot of assets are tinted automatically for you via theme attributes. That has often led me to wonder "where the hell did this color come from?" You can replace your normal theme with this debug theme to help figure out the source of that color.
<!-- You can change the parent around to whatever you normally use -->
