For the last few years the fantastic chaps at GreenQloud have been hosting my automated builds for OpenELEC. Sadly (for me) their business is shifting from running a cloud to selling their ‘QStack‘ cloud platform to others, so GreenQloud are shutting down their IaaS (so that they’re not competing with their customers). I’m pleased to say that […]

Moving house
For a few months now I’ve been offering OpenELEC release bundles and SD card images at openelec.thestateofme.com, and more recently I set up resources.pichimney.com to host a broader range of Raspberry Pi related downloads. The servers that I’ve been using were part of the BigV.io beta, so I’ve not been picking up the tab for […]
