About timmorgan

Website (one of many): https://timmorgan.dev Email: tim@timmorgan.org

I like Ruby. I'm building my own Ruby, called Natalie, for fun! Come join me: https://github.com/natalie-lang/natalie

I'm also an amateur radio operator (ham), amateur photographer (B&W film developed at home), and trying my hand at gardening (flowers, not food, yet). I guess you could say I don't really enjoy being the best at one thing -- I love being mediocre at a lot of things! XD

    I was hoping for a floating point rounding bug in performance tuning or some such. This is just plain ol mis-management.

    My wifi password is "there's a space in it".

    Yeah, Rails would be a long ways off, if it ever happens at all. But I could see a use for a compiled Sinatra app, and that seems attainable in my lifetime. :-)

    Right?!! It’s just so much fun to use. I have even more appreciation for it after working on my own. :-)

    Thanks for sharing this. I’d always wondered how NAT works and this explanation worked well for me. Nice bit of investigation too!

    I’m on mobile, so this page confused me. My eye skipped right over the button at the top of the page to launch the browser. But reading the comments made me look again. This is rea…

    I’ve been wanting to learn scheme. I think this would be a good opportunity! Question: should I go with Racket or Chicken Scheme?

    Cool project! I will check this out. Note: you have a typo on your home page: "never loose a bit" 'loose' => 'lose'

    No, it’s not documented. I feel bad. It’s basically four keys: name, image, min_size (optional), and config. The config key contains the cloud-config, tutorial here: https://www.di…

    Well, hello! This is my project -- I didn't expect to see it posted here! It is as jgh said: "it's basically just a script that provisions a new digitalocean instance via the DO ap…

    This is great. Good work! My entire family is currently using Path as a small social network and share a lot there. I'd love to move us to something we can control and where the da…

    You might be more interested in installing our church app OneBody. You can do that by clicking the "Install on DigitalOcean" button in the readme here: https://github.com/churchio/…

    If you have an ssh key set up in your DigitalOcean account, then that is the key set up on the root account. If not, you should have received a password email from DigitalOcean -- …

    There could be a standard, but I don't think it exists today (at least not one that is supported by the services I hope to use, e.g. DigitalOcean, Amazon, Google). This is a tool t…

    I agree somewhat, though OneBody does have church-specific features built-in, such as favorite bible verses and prayer requests etc. It is specialized for church communities, thoug…

    Thanks for this comment -- reminds me I need to look into CoreOS some more.

    For OneBody, we have 6 different ways to install the software.[1] We're definitely not forcing anyone to pay DigitalOcean to host our open source app, but it sure is nice to give p…
