HOW NOT TO REMOVE PEOPLE FROM YOUR ROOM

Personal — acosta @ 8:42 pm

1) Listen to them try to sell you various products they’re working on

2) Actually sign up for any of those products

3) Invite people over who need to reinstall N > 2 computers

4) Have absolutely nothing else to do

Merry day after Christmas. Cheers.

DANCERBOT 5000 AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Music, Personal, Reviews — afischer @ 11:42 pm

Since I have been home in Indy and driving around in my brother’s car which doesn’t play nice with iPhone tunes I have been listening to a bunch of satellite radio while cruising around. This coincides to hearing the Killers about once an hour. I just wanted to point out they seem to have a massive structural misconception in “Human.” Merry Christmas kids…

yes there are categories for cyborgs and dancer cyborgs as well

PS: The classic “NORAD tracks Santa” can be seen here: NORAD Santa Tracker (note that Iran is on the bad list… but the ISS was over Iran when Santa hit up that crew)

YOUR HOME NETWORK

Personal, Technical — acosta @ 6:23 pm

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to how crappy my home network has become. Of course this has gotten me to think about what my ideal home network would look like. So, for all of you out there, let’s do a little thought experiment. Say you have the money to put together your “perfect” home network. What would it look like? What major components would it use? What services would it run? How would it be organized?

This has been a pretty fun little experiment for me, and I’ve come up with configurations anywhere from relative modesty to incredible setups which would cost tens if not hunders of thousands of dollars and include substantial modifications to wiring and home configuration (network closet anyone?)

Maybe some of you have some ideas. Cheers.
