Hey Jeff, (great name!) Have you posted the specs for the low cost/power nodes you've built? If not, would be interested in doing that? (parts, cost, anything interesting)
I noticed in your Future Steps section ( http://jeff.jke.net/2011/12/14/future-steps ) that you were looking to add an administrative dashboard for things like node status. While I assume you'd probably like something custom, have you looked at riak_control yet? It's still being developed, but does a really good job presenting node and ring status right now. It's quite pretty too. :) You can find the riak_control repo here: https://github.com/basho/riak_control It's part of the current master of riak, so you probably already have it. I've been using it with the distributed mud I'm building on top of riak_core (mostly to learn riak_core), and have found it quite useful. Going to read through your tutorial more carefully now.
