Buffalo TeraStation
March 30, 2005 – 12:52 pm
Lots of buzz about the Buffalo TeraStation this week. The Register has a story, and I’ve read about it in a couple of other places (that I forgot to bookmark). With impressive specs like 1TB of storage, a 266MHz Freescale PowerPC processor, 512MB of SDRAM, a Realtek gigabit NIC, a RAID controller, and Linux-based firmware, [...]

The Neat and public services
March 30, 2005 – 12:38 pm
Working for a public school district, I found this article from the BBC interesting. I think they are right – in the end it’s the quality of service, not the method of delivery that is the most important. Tweet
High School students’ “Stinky” robot beats MIT in underwater bot championship
March 30, 2005 – 12:09 pm
Wired has a great story about how four high school students built an underwater robot for $800 and beat the pants off of engineering students from the likes of MIT and their $11,000 robot. A great read – definitely worth reading through until the end! Tweet

Using USB Drive with ZENworks Imaging
March 30, 2005 – 10:11 am
Very simple clear instructions for using a USB Drive with ZENworks Imaging. Worked for me, although on some machines I had to replace “MOUNT /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd” with “MOUNT /dev/sda4 /mnt/usbhd” or sometimes /dev/sda3. Tweet
Power-hungry PCs cost users
March 30, 2005 – 6:56 am
The BBC reports on the cost of not shutting computers off when not in use – “”Most people could easily save £100 a year and a small-to-medium sized company should easily cut £5,000 off its bills just by following our advice,” said Mr Ross.” For those of us in the US, that’s $9170. Our Middle [...]
Cell-phone complaints: A sorry picture for Cingular/AT&T
March 30, 2005 – 6:54 am
Consumer’s Union (publisher of Consumer Reports) has released their annual report on complaints against cell carriers. The data seems to match my experiences – with Cingular, we have had few billing issues, but have had a fair number of service issues. It’s too bad, because I believe that most of the problems I encountered could [...]
VNC via cell phone
March 30, 2005 – 6:48 am
KDDI and Hitachi Systems and Services have teamed up to bring “micro-VNC” to KDDI’s au phones. I’ve played around with VNC on palm/pocket pc’s and found it barely useable. I’m not sure what benefit porting it to a cell phone brings, but it’s still somehow impressive! Tweet
