Media Sharing

I do a lot of media sharing from Shiden, my desktop/server, to my XBOX360 and Shoki, my laptop. Both computers run Windows 7 Enterprise which makes things somewhat simple. Never-the-less, there are a few essential tools and tips which make nearly flawless media sharing a possibility.

The core of sharing is creating a VPN to […]

Purple Hair

So a while ago I dyed my hair purple. I finally got around to taking proper pictures so here goes.

The first time I did it I used Clairol Basic White Normal Strength bleach, and Clairol Pure White 10 volume developer. My hair came out this crazy red auburn color. Apparently my hair is actually […]

New Registrar

On the recommendation of Chris from MOAP I have switched registrars to omnis.com. They give me near full control over DNS records so that I can have unlimited subdomains. Unfortunately, in the move I’ve lost my mail servers. So Shiden is now running one. However, because of downtime Shiden has, I have decided to minimize […]

Absolute Boyfriend

So I was avoiding the cold, while waiting for the mall shuttle to come, in the Coop, chilling in the manga aisle of course, when I picked up this cute little title called Absolute Boyfriend. I read like two chapters and was totally hooked. Everyone should read this manga!

I ended up reading scanlations cause […]

Touhou

So, Bapa from moap, who doesn’t shut up about catgirls, was being annoying when I was trying to get him to read Absolute Boyfriend, which you all should read, and going on and on about Touhou fanart.

Naturally, I wanted to see the actual manga, because, while artbooks are nice, we all know it’s about […]

A/V Setup

Astronomy Field Camp 2010 (12.411)

During 2010 Astronomy Field Camp Robert Arlt Jr. worked with Travis Barman on two projects. The first, a pointed search of 2MUCD 10529, an M9-type star, for Mars-sized-extrasolar planets. The second, a search for an ejected planet or stellar companion of HR 8799. Focus was given to the second project, as data for it was […]

New UPS

Well, the old UPS that I was running the server on died today. So I bought a nice shiny new one, it even has an LCD screen.

It’s a giant 1500VA model yet still only has the ability to run the server for 21 minutes (its rated max is 164 minutes).

New Site!

Hi everyone. This is a new site, with a new theme, which I customized pretty heavily. I lost the images that were on the site before. I don’t plan to reupload everything, so if there is something you want please let me know. Shiden (the server) was upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise and has some […]
