I (and probably a lot of you) run my scripts (templogging, watering plants based on temperature etc.) scheduled, but I rather not be dependent on my home PC to do this.
An alternative is to run a virtual server in the cloud, but this is usally rather expensive, but amazon is currently letting you try their service for 1 year for free!
It's only a micro instance so it's pretty slow, but it works for running small apps/scripts, you can choose between both Linux and Windows servers.
So now my plants are actually getting watered from a cloud
