Well, I haven’t had much time to work on any projects except the renovation going on in my living room!

I am finally getting rid of the cute, but somewhat disturbing ‘Pinecone’ motif that adorned my living room…  It will be finished in a more formal fashion, with some nice lights and drapes, along with a new HT setup!  Gonna be cool!  I haven’t been at it alone though.  I have help:

She was very excited to help daddy paint!  She even helped me vacuum up the dust and sand the wall!  But there have been bystanders too…

Cyanogen Mod is a Win!

Posted on March 10, 2013 by

Well, I finally did it.  I figured my phone was out of warranty anyway, so what the hell right?  So I installed Cyanogen Mod on my Vibrant finally.  It was a piece of cake really.  The part that took the longest was the silly download.  I had already rooted my phone and put Clockwork Rom Manager on it awhile ago with titanium backup so I could back up apps and remove the cruft that comes pre-installed, so it was as simple as putting the zip on my SD card and loading it up!  Worked the first time!  now I have to learn how to use my phone again…  It is so nice though!  Samsung and T-Mobile can bite me for not wanting to keep my phone up to date…  I hope to have some project updates here soon.  It has been crazy busy, so not much time to do anything but keep up with the essentials really…  So, any of you wondering if you should put cyanogen on your Vibrant, Just freaking do it!  It’s easy-peasy now!  It used to be a hassle with risk of bricking, but not anymore!

HDD POV Clock Project

Posted on February 20, 2013 by

Well, on to the projects.  I am working on a few currently, the Laser Trax, a HDD Platter clock, and some other small sundry things.  I will post some info about the POV clock soon… Pictures of the build, and maybe some mockups or renders of the final appearance as I hope it to be.  It will have some features that I have not seen on others.  I am definitely not the first to do it, so there is a lot of info available around the web on how its done.  I do believe my implementation has some unique stuff in it though that I have not seen in many, if any, others.  My code is nice and modular too, so I may be brave enough to post it on Github or something…  We’ll see…  Stay tuned…

Wow.

Wow.  What a whirlwind couple months…  First off I guess, some major changes, one of which directly affects this page:  a new hosting setup…  I must say that I love vmware!  After playing with it for a bit, I was able to set up a virtual machine to manage the web page.  It works pretty well!  I have not had any major trouble as of yet, and now I just need to get a DNS server running, and I will be able to have a few pages up and running!  Its pretty neat how it all works really…

Aside from that, not much has changes around here, except that I have been wonderfully laid out by a powerful cold for the last little while.  One of the joys of winter I suppose, but it seems to be blowing over now, so things are looking up.

Hopefully, I should be able to get back up and posting about the current projects soon here, so stay tuned for more…
