Cleaning up My Password Security

September 2, 2016

It seems like there is an increasing amount of hacks and leaks lately.  These also seem to be larger and higher profile targets more and more.  Recently I’ve been seeing stories about Last.fm and Dropbox accounts apparently being compromised as well as a vulnerability in vBulleten, a popular Message Board hosting tool.  For the most … [Read more…]

August 30, 2016
Skype Logo

As part of the recent Windows 10 Anniversary update, Skype was updated to Skype Preview.  Part of the preview is the new Skype Bots system.  Bots are the new Apps, which are the new Websites, or something…  Everyone is doing Bots these days.  These early bots are about what you might expect, simple interactions that … [Read more…]

On My New Acer Aspire E15

August 16, 2016
Acer Aspire E15

So, right up front I want to say, I’m not trying to sell this as the most amazing machine ever or anything.  I mostly just want to give some thoughts and sort of initial impressions.  I’ve been previously using an HP 311 Netbook as my laptop.  I would argue, at the time, that it definitely … [Read more…]

My DIY Dance Dance Revolution Hardpad

July 18, 2016

Something like ten years or so ago, I built my own hardpad for use on Dance Dance Revolution and Stepmania.  Most of the pads that are easily bought are “soft pads”.  These vary in quality, I have a couple of pads that are pretty light weight and plastic I used ages ago.  These pads tend … [Read more…]

Saving a Slice of Raspberry Pi

June 22, 2016

So of all the things on the network, the DNS and DHCP server are pretty important.  Especially because my experience has been the router the ISP provided is kind of mediocre at doing the DHCP job.  So when the Raspberry Pi I’ve tasked with doing the work started flaking out I was a little worried. … [Read more…]

Internet of Things, Internet of Stuff

June 21, 2016

I wanted to take some time to touch on my every changing collection of Internet of Things style devices.  Honestly, it’s kind of iffy what constitutes an “IOT” device, but for the most part I’m sticking with “cheap” and “non traditional computing devices”. The chief player among these are of course… The Raspberry Pi I’m … [Read more…]

I Screwed Up

June 10, 2016

So, for a little while now, one of the sites I host on my VPS has had some sort of malware.  I have no idea how it got there but I have ideas about fixing it if I could find it.  There are plenty of sites that will tell you that your website is infected.  … [Read more…]

Pentax K-3

May 25, 2016

I’ve recently upgraded my DSLR and have had a bit to play around with it and get a feel for it. I went for an upgrade over my old Pentax K-7 to a Pentax K-3. I already have lenses so I saved money by buying Body Only I like my K-7, it just got worn … [Read more…]

NextThing CHIP and Raspberry Pi Zero

May 10, 2016

I’ve already briefly discussed my NextThing CHIP computers before. A few weeks ago I was purchasing a Raspberry Pi 3 and found that the store had Pi Zeros in stock as well, so I tossed one on because, hey, $5, and they are apparently hard to find. These two little devices are pretty similar, but … [Read more…]

RaspberryPi as an Ad Blocking DNS and DHCP

February 23, 2016 / 1 Comment

I’ve been at a bit of a loss for a while on what to do with my RaspberryPi B+.  I have a B+ and two RaspberryPi B 2s.  The B2s are so much more useful and powerful than the B+ that the poor B+ has kind of been tossed to the wayside.  I was using … [Read more…]
