The delivery guy showed up a day earlier than expected with my HP EX470 MediaSmart Home Server. A nice surprise, indeed! Taking it out of the box the first thing you notice is how tiny it is. The proportions are about the same as your typical mini-tower but this baby isn’t even 10 inches […]

Home is where your server is
29Nov07Happiness is…
27Nov07…an Inbox with 0 unread items:
I would like to thank Google Mail’s IMAP support for finally making it possibly for me to efficiently deal with the thousands of unread emails in my personal mailbox.
Scope’d
25Nov07Cooler weather is finally coming to South Florida. Right now it’s pretty pleasant, almost cool enough to keep the windows open all day at home. And that means it is time to start equipping my Bushmaster Carbon 15 Model 4 for use at the outdoor range. As much as I enjoy shooting indoors and air […]
I’m not a big fan of the holiday crowds. In general I try to avoid stepping into retail stores from the week before Thanksgiving until well into January. But… I wanted to gift some gizmos this year, and I wanted the chance to make sure that they didn’t suck before sending them to their intended […]

My previously jailbroken and pre-anySIM unlocked iPhone is now fully functional on 1.1.2 […]
Can’t Win
15Nov07My vacation last week in Houston started off well enough. Aside from the stupidity of choosing a flight that had me driving out to Katy during rush hour on a Friday. The Texas Renaissance Festival is something else, they have a massive site complete with permanent structures. Going to the South Florida Ren Fest in […]
Houston
04Nov07Houston is much more pleasant when the sun isn’t trying to melt everything in sight. Went to a motorcycle show yesterday where I learned that my legs are just a bit short for all of the sport touring bikes that interest me (Honda ST1300, Yamaha FJR1300, etc). They all put me on the tips of […]
Must. Resist. Eee PC.
01Nov07Shortly after getting the iPhone I thought that I might actually be able to get away with not carrying a laptop on my next real vacation. The e-mail is good enough, the web browser is great, battery life is awesome. Except there’s no way to offload pictures from my cameras and get them to Flickr. […]
