Install LinuxMCE and have it actually work
Monday, 20 August 2007
linuxmce.jpgI have been playing around with a variety of Media Centers lately.  I started off with LinuxMCE and failed miserably.  After a few different systems I settled on WinXP and GBPVR and was relatively happy for a while.  I had a few features that refused to work right so it was not making me happy.  I then saw a new LinuxMCE video and figured it was time to give it another attempt.  After all, it had 2 updates and a major revision since I failed, it had to be better by now.  This article shows my 2nd attempt at making LinuxMCE work.

Dedicated torrent box server edition (hard version)
Tuesday, 03 July 2007

ubuntu-server As if setting up a brand new computer, operating system, and various network tweaks wasn't enough, I decided the basic BitTorrent computer box I built wasn't robust enough for me.  I really wanted multiple users and a better interface.  I wanted a total replacement for Azureus and uTorrent clients on the individual computers.  I wanted something central everybody could use and contribute to. 

Unfortunatly this meant I had to install Ubuntu server and I was going to be doing far more terminal typing then GUI clicking.

Dedicated torrent download machine (easy version)
Sunday, 01 July 2007

bittorrent-4.jpg I recently saw a write up on Digg about how to make a dedicated machine do nothing but download .torrent files.  That seems pretty stupid to me until I really thought about it.  With this setup I can have the torrent box use a different internet connection, but still keep it on my network.  I can crank the share speeds up and not affect VPN, VNC or other things I use.

Now I have one in my server rack and I love it.  This was the first build of this server.  After using it I decided I needed a bit more features and rebuilt it in a different way.  So, this article is for the "simple way" and the next article will be for, "the slightly harder way".

Read more to find out why I did it, and how you can do it as well.

Pet Pig

pig

While I was at work today I was knocking on a customers door for their scheduled appointment. The customer never answered the door so I made my way back to my van.  Sitting in the van talking to dispatch I was ooking around the neighborhood since it was there and I had to look at something.  

I saw a pig.

Feels good to ride again
Saturday, 05 May 2007

dscf0072.jpg I have been sick for at least a week now and it has SUCKED.  I don't get sick too often due to being around the public so much.  I think my immune system has superpowers against all the people I am around. 

It seemed really funny to me I got my bike and started to ride a lot, and after one whole week I got sick.  It sounds like trying to be healthier got me sick.

Read on to see a few pics of me riding with my buddy Scott.

Scott doing some MTB freestyle
Saturday, 05 May 2007

dscf0044.jpg My friend Scott rides freestyle, and I ride more street.  Two different styles of bike riding that share some similarities but the differences in bikes prevents people from being able to do both on one bike.

Well Scott has been having perverted thoughts about my bike so he is always taking it from me and trying his freestyle moves on it.   Read on to see pictures of how me molested my bike and even a video.

Back on a bike after 6 years
Tuesday, 17 April 2007

dscf0012.jpg It has been six long years of not riding.  I recently was re-bitten by the bug and went out and bought a bike to get back into shape and vent some of my energy.  I was never terribly good at riding....
