It’s amazing how much time I have spent just staring at the 36″x36″ poster of this image on the wall in my room.

Power of Two’s

New file server is in the process of being put together. I have all the hardware, I just need to install the OS and get this baby online.

What’s with the Power of Two’s?

  • Dual 2.4GHz Xeon Processors
  • 2GB PC2100 ECC Registered RAM
  • 2TB RAID5 Array
    • 4×400GB
    • 2×500GB

I plan to backup all my music, files, etc. Should be great! I’ll take some pictures later.

Extra High Latency Problems?

November 28th, 2007

Hey everyone, I just wanted to write a little quick entry on how to fix latency issues.

Do you ever create games and then your friends can’t join because of “Latency was Too High” error messages?

Do you want to know what this means?

Look no further!

Most of the video pranks from freshman year at Furman.

November 27th, 2007

So, I used to run a website on campus where I hosted all these prank videos from Freshman year that we did.  We used to stay up until 4:00a.m. daily just to do a prank or two.  Well, I’ve dug them up from an old hard drive and posted them on metacafe, an online video site.  Check them out!

While I’m on the subject of Firefox add-ons(You need Firefox first, check to the right):

Last weekend at my dad’s house I was helping him understand how to print images from websites even when they try to block you from doing so. I learned a great deal in the process so I thought I’d share it with you.

How to Manage Multiple Gmail Accounts

November 27th, 2007

Great new Firefox add-on that will allow you to manage multiple Gmail accounts. Whereas before I used Gmail-Notifier, now I have all my accounts in one simple interface in the lower right corner of my browser window. With Gmail-Notifier I was only able to stay current with one of my many accounts, so now I’m happy.

I’ve always got a browser open so that suits me perfect anyway.
