2 hours in

After 2 hours and 18 minutes.  We are at 78% with high usage.  About to switch to my tablet to watch some videos though.  The data speeds on the bus suck usual. I won't start with that explanation today.  Maybe on my way back I will break it down. 

Trip day chronicled

Started at 96% @ 11:46. Wifi on, battery saver on with all options enabled and auto sync turned off. Let's see what I can get out of my one year old note 2 with jelly bombed custom rom installed.

Back to the future flash back.... One word, AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I feel like building one of these for myself.

New server hardware sector emerging!

Hopefully, one day I can own one of these:

John Considine, the Verizon chief technology officer pointed out that " Verizon has been working with SeaMicro for over two years on its new service, and that should show you just how long the gestation period is for this sort of computer hardware." The technical details pointed out in this article are very interesting and ground breaking. Not only is the technology getting better faster but it is also using less power to do more work. Sounds like a win win situation to me.

Handy Man Day September

So today, I will start with a disclaimer:

Warning: Do not attempt to install any type of wiring without being properly trained to do so. I have an Electrical Engineering Degree and I have several years of experience handling, installing and troubleshooting electrical systems and circuits. Serious injury can result from incorrect wiring or instillation, including death and loss of property. 

Now, that being said, I will try something a bit different this time. I took a ton of pictures so I will be using them to outline what i did and if anyone has any questions or comments, please post a reply and I will reply to your posts with more details.

Above Pics are the before Images. 

Yeah, Terrible placement. Needs to be relocated ASAP but for now, it stays.

Final Product.

 Just posting everything, will be adding comments as I go along. A Lot of comments to add as you can see.

I'm still here

It's been a pretty busy month for me and everyone involved in my projects.  I am working on a new handyman post.  It's s lot of pictures and it's taking me some time between work and home to get our finished and posted. 

The iphone launch came and went.  Samsung announced its note 3 and smart watch. More gun violence in the news.  Winter is coming! !!!!!!!!

Server OS instillation finally completed.

           It has been a long road to get to where we are now. We ended up using Debian for the OS. After getting a compatible Graphics card, it was only a matter of time before we were able to get the hardware and software to function properly together after effectively setting up the software parameters.

Log in screen up and running. secured and all. Found a few important application packages and updates that I applied immediately.

Here is the Desktop. Nice, simple and fully functional. Will keep you up to date with the blog setup and instillation. Now I can start concentrating on some hardware work. I have to prep the final home for the server and setup the security system for The Lab.
