BitCoin now being accepted here.

June 26, 2011

A few months ago, while listening to a security podcast (Security Now – With Steve Gibson) that I got into the world of virtual currency. I’m really liking the world of BitCoin right now and will be using for more projects that I do. If you want to get into the world of BitCoin, just go to http://www.bitcoin.org and download the app for your operating system. I’m also posting here my BitCoin address so if you want to donate to me you may. If this currency takes off, could this be the new currency of the internet? Let me know in the comments.

All the new tech still can’t beat old school tech.

January 4, 2011

In the last few days, I’ve been playing around with Ubuntu Linux Version 10.10 on my MacBook Pro. Even with all of the GUI enhancements that are available now days, I still find myself going back to the old school way of using a computer. The Good Ole Terminal. The reasoning behind going back to the Terminal had to do with a bunch of DVD’s I bought back in ’09 with Old Time Radio programs on them. I wanted to start copying them over to a hard drive for save keeping. However, If I used the GUI way of drag and drop (or copy and paste) that I would have to sit still at the the computer and wait to see if there were any errors that I would have to tell the GUI to skip. This is when the Terminal comes into play. Knowing where your DVD shows up on the file system sure helps out. And with the copy command (cp) and a few variables thrown in to read all of the folders on the DVD, you can copy the whole thing and walk away from your computer.

Do I mind not having those mp3′s that didn’t get copied? Not one bit. I will soon get another set of these DVD’s to copy soon. Of course that’s after I order them.

There shall be more coming soon. I have finally finished a mobile media server on the cheap and I will post it as soon as I can.

Back to Writing on the Site.

October 5, 2010

http://www.facebook.com/widgets/like.php?href=https://kb8ild.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/back-to-writing-on-the-site/

Well, after a few months of not writing on my site. I’m back in business. Moving several times and work has kept me away. Now that we are getting into the holiday season, you would think that being a truck driver I would have less time. Well, that’s true. However, I will be able to add posts once I shutdown after a delivery. I have several things planned to show on the site like, “how to install a FreeNas box,” and “how to add a second hard drive to a 13 inch MacBook Pro.”

Your comments and questions are always appreciated.
