  • Home Network Virtualization Project, Part 2

    When I wrote part 1 of the home network virtualization project, I didn't realize that I actually had an updated network diagram available. I created it last October, but never posted it -- for reasons which completely escape me right now. I suppose that I was waiting until I actually performed the upgrades at the end year before I would post ...

  • Time For Virtualization at Home

    Although I really need to upgrade my network diagram to reflect some major changes since 2006, it is effective enough to indicate the need for server virtualization even on a small network.  I currently have 4 servers which are operational, and another which I want to bring online shortly, but I would be far better served if I put in a couple ...

  • Father and Daughter Time

    ''Daddy, can you show me how to build a computer?'' That was the request I received today from my 11 year-old daughter.   I guess it helped that I had a whole lot of computer parts laying about, with some unfinished systems.  I've been pretty busy of late, but it's all good busy -- nothing to complain about. I still haven't ...

  • Minor System Upgrade

    I was forced to upgrade one of my systems this week because the motherboard (or CPU) died.  Rather than mess around trying to figure out which specific component was impacted, I ran over to NewEgg (virtually, of course), and picked up a new AMD Sempron 3400+ CPU and a Gigabyte Socket 754 motherboard for cheap to replace the previous Athlon ...

  • Computer Hardware Upgrade Methodologies

    Over the years, my perspective on computer upgrades has changed significantly. There was a time back in the mid-to-late 90s when I would go out and obtain a new motherboard and processor every 15-18 months, and swap out the components on one of my systems. In the early going, this wasn't too bad, as the performance improvement was substantial ...

  • Adventures in Wireless Media Entertainment

    I just upgraded to v0.9.56.2 of TVersity which manages the content for my wireless media player.  Around Christmas 2005, I finally obtained a wireless media player, the D-Link DSM-320. I guess I should have looked at the TVersity site earlier, because there was a bug which would occasionally freeze my DSM-320 when playing certain video ...
