Virtualization is an important tool when working in an IT environment. It can be really useful to troubleshoot issues with users for servers. In an all windows studio environment it can be critical when it seems almost everyone else is using OS X. Virtualization is a powerful tool if you have a motherboard that supports […]

Deluge as a daemon for always on torrenting with XBMC
Having an HTPC is great and can replace cable (in my opinion) if you set it up in such a way that it takes care of itself and manages media for you. Generally, one must sort movies music and tv into different folders so that XBMC can scrape the appropriate websites that catalogue tv and […]
Ubuntu HTPC
I started wanting a computer for viewing movies and television because I like to have a seperation between my workspace and leisure time. I first installed XBMCbuntu which is a pretty good way to go if you have lean hardware. Lean distro’s like the Raspberry Pi oriented OpenELEC. has fewer frills to save cycles for […]

Giving You the Business is a hidden camera show where the contestants are candidly recorded by robotic cameras.

Asus RT-N16 Shibby Tomato Firmware DLNA Server

New knock off Arduino board
Well after having difficulties uploading my first sketch to my new OSEPP UNO R3 Plus I learned I was the proud owner of a knock off. But hell, Now I kinda just want to get messy with it and fry it. It came with a very small kit with limited documentation, a few cheap components […]
Rack Mounted DAW
I haven’t posted much lately but here is a project I just started piecing together. It’s a 2U rack mountable DAW which fits tightly into a 3U carrying case. The idea was that it fits within carry-on baggage limits at airports and can travel safely above you in flight. K series optimization abounds in this […]
