Yet Another ATCS Monitor Experiment

Interested by a website left in a comment in a previous posting about ATCS Monitor I decided to see if I could get sort of the same thing going myself. While the site in the comment apparently used VBScript, and no longer works, I decided to go the ghetto way of doing things, running the [...]

ATCS Monitor on the iPhone

Recently I became the owner of a iPhone, I know, right now AT&T and Apple are the devil, I’ll see how things pan out in a year or two. However I have to say I have been enjoying the fact that I actually use the phone more often then I thought I would, especially for [...]

Seeqpod Is Gone, Now What?

So if you’re like me you were pretty pissed off when Seeqpod shutdown back in April. If you don’t know what happened long story short is that the RIAA went ahead and sued the little man into oblivion because they couldn’t play ball with the big boys like Google or Yahoo, seems to be a [...]

Networking At DeVry

For those who don’t know I am currently going to DeVry University for a Bachelors in Network and Communications Management, known within the college as the netcomm program. So recently me and friend decided to go into the college’s network lab, again shorthanded to netlab, to mess around with their switches and routers for a [...]

Pastebin On RSN

Thats right, I have setup a pastebin on this server. For those who do not know, Pastebin is a PHP webapp created by Paul Dixon that allows you to post your code on the website and the website will display the code in a highlighted format depending on which language you select. The pastebin is available [...]

Mount Samba Shares Based On WiFi Networks

This is probably a common occurance amongst Linux users like me, you have a share you want to mount every time your computer or laptop starts up on a WiFi network (my desktop connects via WiFi), you write a handy little script to do for you at start up only to find the script is [...]
