so.. back in the dim dark ages of before the event i used to have an electronic photo frame from kodak. it worked brilliantly, you upload photos to a website, then they appear on the photo frame next time it is turned on.

then kodak decided they wanted more money.. and killed it.

needless to say, it pissed me off a bit. so i looked for alternatives…

i found an interesting piece of software called pisignage, is it overkill for what i want.. hell yeah but i can’t be cut off from it again. will i keep it around if it gets discontinued, only until i find a successor.

last night i powered it up again for the first time in a while, freshly burned sd card and it really was a case of type in the server address. it connects to the server, using a hardware id to check licencing and download the image playlist, then off it goes.

it automagically pulled in all new updates and lurched into action.

it’s going on my list to be ansibled.

so, yeah
