I have been cleaning up my computer room since we moved into our house last year. It is one of those slow processes as I have limited space and not the whole house. It is coming along good and the servers are working good in the closet. I just need to clean the work bench …

‘Aging’ by a 26 year old
You know you wonder where time goes when you think about how long ago you graduated high school. I happened to graduate in 1997. What kind of scares me is that I remember it like it was yesterday and I have trouble remember what I actually did yesterday. All kidding aside, I have never been …

Setting up RAID 1
If I get time this weekend I plan to throw two 30gig drives in an older computer I have sitting around and use one of the Promise RAID cards for binding them together. I then plan to Install Windows 2000 Professional. It will be a backup server and backup workstation for my Dad to use. …

Laugh and share a bit…
I had to laugh at this yesterday and decided to share it with you. Scary enough is that some people out there are that way. I know it would be tempting but I do not think I could wear a Superman shirt as my undershirt. My undershirts tend to be either alcohol related tees or …

Grandpa Smock…I miss him…
Oh yeah, when you get a chance check out the tribute site my father has been working on about his father. Some of his siblings have been submitting their own stories and I might put pen to the preverbal paper myself soon. Here is the link http://rip.smock.com/ Yes, there is a story behind the ‘Rip’ …

Updating phpBB2
If anyone is in doubt or outright does not know, phpbb2 is a message board system. I had to update it on two sites today. One of them I used as a test since it is not being used yet. It is www.digitalsheep.org. The other is used a lot so I did it second which …

Stepside gets my teeth wiggling
Yes, the title made no sense. I figured I would step away from the cold and logic side of things and just cut loose, as it were. I am actually thinking of installing Windows 2k on a machine for my father for his server/backup computer. I was thinking of setting up RAID since I have …

Firewire it was called, and it was good…
I recently got a 3.5″ hard drive enclosure that has both Firewire and USB 2.0 connections on it. I did not want to use the usb side of things for a perm. solution so I went ahead and got a Firewire card. One thing I can say is that it may not be hooked directly …

Went to the movies
I went to the movies with my wife on Wednesday to see ‘National Treasure’. We actually walked away liking the movie. I would watch it again if it came up. As I am not one that is good at reviewing but I would recommend that you see it if you have some free time. When …
