Are you near Sydney? I noted a possible link to the Central Coast. I will contribute a smaller device if you're game to host it.
PS. You may be unaware that your shortened domain name 'benren' from your whois-available real name means "stupid person" in Mandarin. Only noted because there is a company registered with the same name since 1999. On the off chance it's yours, probably not the best marketing in a global world. Just throwing it out there.
It could be self-deprecating! Plus, I would more readily read it as 本人 (this person/me/myself) - than as 笨人 (stupid person).
Also, Pinyin is more susceptible to accidental interpretations than most writing systems due to ambiguity and tonality. For example, “mana” can be parsed into 32 different syllable-tone combinations (man/a or ma/na times 4x4 tone combinations for each syllable), and while most aren’t meaningful, that still gives you a ton of potential words to match against.
