How to reuse that old computer of yours...W

What about that old computer you have in the closet? Still works, too slow, tiny hard drive. But you just can't bring yourself to throw it out or put it on craigslist.

Google+ means nothing to me but sticking stuff in Google's cloud? OK! I'm assuming given how tightly it's tied to Gmail that it'll use HTTPS. Please oh please tell me I can grab a public URL for anything I stick up there. HTML & XML/RSS included. PLEEZE!
