Beaglebone black with LCD: useful

Uploading Files
So far I have ported two of my programs to the beaglebone black so I dont have to look for a computer to do common tasks---there are some kind of bugs still, such as the display freezing but hopefully I can figure them out eventually.

The programs I loaded so far that I would actually use are:

1.  A picture uploader.  I have a custom website for my digital pictures.  A long time ago I used to have a computer with an lcd in front of it so all I had to do was put the camera card and press a button and out the pictures go into the website.  Now I have the uploader client ported to beagle bone black so I can upload pictures from anywhere with an internet connection (wired internet, for now).

2. A generic memory card copier.  You never know when you just have to backup a card.

On a related note, the 8x2 character LCD has looked good enough to win me a beaglebone case in a contest :-)
