Connecting to bitcoind from a remote machine on my network. Mostly thanks to Pete Corey
http://www.petecorey.com/blog/2017/09/04/controlling-a-bitcoin-node-with-elixir/
and quite a few other people - 'getinfo' has to be replaced with 'getblockchaininfo', and the bitcoin.conf file has to contain 
rpcuser=NOT_MY_USER_NAME
rpcpassword=NOT_MY_PASSWORD
gen=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.x.x 

The picture is of the results of implementing another Pete Corey project,
