Computing / Hosting from the house?
« Last post by Weave on August 21, 2010, 04:40:59 pm »Thinking about using DynDNS and the old laptop to host a site. Anyone up on servers and the like that can be fairly secure and run under VisTA?

Computing / Garage Sale Network
« Last post by hotrats on August 07, 2010, 03:32:52 pm »I've been busy. I thought I'd post up what I am referring to as my "Garage Sale Network". This haul was a good one.
one Fortinet - Fortigate 200A
two Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrators
one Cisco Catalyst 2950 Switch
one Nortel BayStack 450-24T Switch
one Cisco SRW224 Switch
one MPC 1u server with Intel SE 7520 JR2 Server Board
I love picking/collecting geek crap up.

Computing / Back on the old Acer
« Last post by Weave on June 27, 2010, 10:12:37 pm »Did a bios update and it solved the overheating problem. It did zorch my XP install, so I retried the original Vista disks - they would hang on disk 2 of 9. And I made it all the way through. Windows update still in progress, but I am glad that this worked out. I needed a bit more arse to do some things than my netbook could provide.

Computing / Greetings from Sprint HTC EVO 4G
« Last post by digiSal on June 05, 2010, 05:09:40 pm »For the past five or six years I have owned every top of the line Windows Mobile phone Sprint carried. When T mobile and Google released the G1 maybe two years ago I got one but held on to the Sprint Windows Touch Pro phone.
I however, fell in love with Android. Sprint has had two other Android phones but they were not to my liking.
Then came the EVO. And here I am. More to come.

TV / Blueray w/ NetFlix and YouTube
« Last post by Weave on May 29, 2010, 11:05:48 am »A friend kept talking about NetFlix and their streams - and I tried it out on the netbook. Very good video, the quality surprised me. So... I started looking into ways of getting NetFlix to my 19 inch lcd in the mancave. There's Roku and then various ways of hooking your laptop/desktop to the tv ~ OR ~~ many Blueray players now have networking and the like built in, and ways to tap into various online video services.
SWEET!
I nailed a Sony Blueray player for ~ $150 and activated the services. From there, you load things into your Watch Instantly Queue, they show up in your Netflix deal on the Blueray player, and then you have MUCH stuff to watch. The Netflix does a free trial, but when that ends for me I will have a way to watch much commercial free stuff for only $8.99 a month. Liking it, so far.

Music / Re: Vinyl Conversion
« Last post by hotrats on May 07, 2010, 09:49:07 pm »Oh yeah. No shuffle, just straight through the side. There was always art in the order.
Double or triple album sets were set up for the multi-platter drop mechanism. First LP had side 1 and 4, second LP had sides 2 and 3. That way you could load the set, play 1, drop 2. Flip play 3, drop 4. I never used a drop turntable but they set up the LP sets that way. I avoided cueing in the middle since that was a great to introduce a nicked track.
