TV Wall Mount
So after reading an article that stated that #1 cause of toddlers going to the hospital for injuries is caused by flat panel TV’s falling on top of them I decided to mount my TV on the wall. At first I wanted to mount it and put a conduit in the wall to run the cables so that you will not see any cables but when I looked at the wall I found a fire-block. Since I do not have tools needed to go through the firewall being lazy and all I just bought a nice flat cable runner from… Continue Reading

Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer. *Toy Test:* Obtain a 55-gallon box of Legos.

Curtains and Curtains and more Curtains
I have found that looking for curtains is a very hard job. There are many choices but 99% of the selections out there are very ugly. Hanging the curtains on the other hand is very simple as long as you can level it correctly which I can not do. We went to various local stores and mixed and matched few sets and so far I think that these are looking good. So we decided to put up curtains for our son’s room with some bright colors so after much looking we found a very colorful set and installed it.. bought… Continue Reading

NFS share XP to Solaris
I had a hell of time trying to share files and folders from XP to Solaris. Solaris does not play well with samba mounts so your only choice is to use sharity which does not work well. Also since XP did not support NFS natively this was hard to do until SFU!  Now what is SFU ? Services for Unix for Windows XP/2000/2003/etc  It installs various services that you can use from your windows like NFS!  BACKGROUND INFORMATION : My web server runs as user webservd:webservd and I am wanting to share 2 directories from my windows server and have… Continue Reading
The original computer mouse
This “X-Y position indicator for a display system” is better known as the world’s first computer mouse invented by Douglas Engelbart. With a shell built from wood, two wheels tracked the movements of the device. It’s too bad the patent expired in 1987 before the real money came rolling in. Other interesting factoid: Engelbart’s team nicknamed the device a “mouse” and the on-screen cursor a “bug.” One term took off while the other died a gruesome, lonely death. Hit the jump for a bonus pic. Â
