What have I been reading this week? (20160424)

Another short posting for the week. Passed the certification test, then focused on writing Traccar code. Prototype is working well enough this morning for me to notice that a friend's phone has an almost-dead battery (Dave!!).

Next class starts tomorrow, I still have two read-aheads to finish, so...

Still messing with Traccar this week. Did a packet capture and noticed that the content is not encrypted or authenticated. I'm disliking the server end enough that I'm likely to write my own version (in a language other than Java). Much depends on friend's acceptance of the tool. Certification test is tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

I ignored it at the end of last month/first of this month because I thought it was an April 1st joke. Apparently it (Bash on Windows) wasn't. Now the only thing that I can think of is that they've successfully ported the Vi vs. EMACS wars to Windows. (heh)

Have spent a LOT of time studying for my GMON certification test. Still more to go. Will be taking it either this week or next..

Playing with Traccar this week. Have it running on Hypriot (on a RPi2) and in an X86 VM. Looks interesting.
