Travel NAS 2024
- 04 May 2024
Last year I made up my mind to move away from Austin and sell all of my belongings, though I swear I’m not a minimalist. This included my homelab. However I still wanted to keep my data with me and ruled out cloud storage or a simple portable hard drive. I wanted a portable NAS for resilliency and I’ve grown to like TrueNAS.

Got my kickass APC SUA1500 UPS! Weeks after getting it the house had a serious electrical problem and caused a brownout on my computer’s circuit. It would have been destroyed if it weren’t for my UPS. I also dabbled in the world of iptables and IP masquerading with my Linux router on a floppy.
Desk Photos 2003
- 15 March 2003
Started by a thread called “Where You Rock” on Big-O-Software Forums in early 2003, I began to take pictures of my desk to show off. Since then I have tried to take pictures of all my desks after significant changes for nostalgic purposes.
ImageCFG
- 30 November 2002
ImageCFG is a utility that probably does a lot of things (I cannot find any official documentation), but the only reason I use it is to fix old games (UT99 for example) which have problems on multicore/multicpu systems. It does so by assigning an executable to specific logical CPUs permanently (by modifying the .exe file, so backup the original in case you want to restore it).
