I have just installed ownCloud on my laptop as a testing ground. I am soon to be buying a new computer off a friend and will be using my current one as a personal server.I decided to go with owncloud because it seems to do everything I need it to right out of the box. Cross device file syncing with as much storage as I have on my computer. All I had to do was install owncloud via the ubuntu terminal following these steps.I am starting using it on version 8.1 and first impressions are that it is very nice. It has a clean UI and straight forward settings controls. This is going to be a big step in me taking control of my own data and moving away from services like Google and Dropbox.The big job now will be to import all of my photos out of Google as well as re-downloading all of my music from google play music.

Trying to get ownCloud installed tonight. Firstly having to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu.
Thoughts on The Tale of Peter Rabbit
My thoughts about the Beatrix Potter book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was an enjoyable little read. One thing that did stand out to me was the fact that out of the four rabbit siblings, the three girls were the well-behaved ones and Peter, the only boy, was the naughty little one who snuck on to Mr McGregor’s land. Was Beatrix Potter biased or am I reading too much into it? Nonetheless an enjoyable read.
Beatrix Potter Challenge
Although not a challenge in the typical sense, my girlfriend has said that I should read all of Beatrix Potter’s books. I’ve only ever read one, which was ‘The Tale of Jeremy Fisher’ – and that was recently.
So I accepted the challenge.
With each one I read I’ll add my thoughts.
