    this one also

    Let the search engines be unleashed!

    I urge everyone to copy these two files....
    Even hide them someplace on your website so search engines find them MULTIPLE times but people can't see them! :) Teach Verisign a lesson.

    Hi,
    In reference to the small home network and metal shelves that fjordboy talked about above. Here are some pictures of the stuff:


    Our Server and such

    Our UPSes on the rack

    All that this is is a metal shelf, but it works great to keep the batteries off the floor (wetness is bad for batteries), and it's all good!

    another thing...rather than spending all sorts of money on special wiring or even the wireless stuff, x10.com has some great cheap ways to make all sorts of household appliances and lights wireless..it even has an interface for your computer, so you can turn the toast on and off from europe if you needed to. :)

    it also works as a great annoyance to someone who is upstairs reading and didn't realize you installed a bunch of x10 modules.

    to add to my previous post....my friend matt has pictures of our in-house network on his webpage (with the picture of our jury-rigged computer rack) at matthoppes.org

  9. coincedence or the matrix is hard at work. by fjordboy · · Score: 1 · on Bone Marrow Can Grow New Brain Cells

    This is sorta strange..my friend MattH and I were just having an arguement about braincells growing back this afternoon. He was trying to feed me some line about cellular phones causing braincell depletion in small children...and I told him that now they learned braincells can grow back, so I wouldn't care if a small child used a cell phone (though I can't think of a good reason for them too) and he was telling me that braincells never grew back...I argued that I had seen some article in a magzine about it and how that could possibly prevent the onset of alzheimers disease....then I just got an email from him telling me to look at this article (admitting his dumbness. :) couldn't be a better time for it :)

  10. a semi perfect solution by fjordboy · · Score: 2 · on Remote Telemetry With Your PC?

    Actually, and interesting thing....my friend MattH does a radio show online (an on the radio) and last year we did spots that included On-the-scene reporting (for instance...outside for the weather and such) we actually used FRS radios. We used a small, 2 channel mixer, and it worked really well. I would be outside with one radio, and he would be inside with the other. I would talk through the radio, from whatever location I was at (up to 2 miles away) and he would recieve it all on the computer and stream it using shoutcast and winamp. It was sorta interesting and could certainly work. It would also be fairly cheap...50 bucks for a coupla FRS radios (which almost everyone has nowadays) and 75 for a cheap mixer (or run it straight into your line-in jack).
