Not much new here

07 Jun

Not a whole lot going on here.  Just relaxing a bit.  Corinne and I watched Avatar (Bluray) and it was amazing.  Great movie.

I received the last order of sprinkler system parts (hopefully) to finish the drip irrigation for the front landscaping.  I will most likely attempt to install it in the next week or so.  Whenever it isnt too hot outside.

My parking sensor is awaiting one more ultrasonic sensor and some brackets.  I think its ready to go.  I should have it mounted for testing by the end of the week.

I am modifying my homemade router/firewall at home to run Pfsense 2.0 beta on a hard drive instead of a flash card.  This will allow me to run squid (http cache proxy), havp (anti-virus scanner), and other network monitoring tools. They cannot be run on a flash card since the card has a finite read/write life.

New projects. WARNING – NERD ALERT.

08 Mar

My 3 new projects that i have decided to take on are the following:

1. Changing the surveillance camera system to utilize better cameras that are night sensitive.

2. Building my own firewall device including a DHCP server. I will be using an ALIX 2D2 board and pfSense software for the firewall.

3. Migrating some data from my 13TB WHS to an UNRAID solution using a new Atom dual core processor.  This will allow better usage of the hard drive space and the atom board will cut power usage by ALOT!

I will post more about each project as they progress.
