How to share an Internet Connection in Windows 7
May 29th, 2010After returning home from college for the summer, I wanted to get my desktop computer online with the wireless network. Unfortunately for my Internet addiction, the desktop computer didn’t have a wireless adapter. I ordered one off of NewEgg, but in the mean time I was left without the glorious internet on my desktop computer’s big screens. What do I do?! The laptop could connect to the wireless network, so there’s a start. Windows has the ability to share the Internet connection of one network adapter over another. Bingo. I describe the process in the following video.
This is why you double check things
January 27th, 2010After months of blaming my i7 desktop computer’s tendency to overheat on it’s high performance and small size, I discover that… the CPU fan was on backwards. fail. It’s temps used to hover around 50°C, now they’re down to just below 40. Recently, when transcoding a DVD with HandBrake, the temps got up to 80°C, but now with the fan reversed, and all of that dust removed, it rises to a reasonable 65°C. Happy days!
New 30″ monitor!
September 30th, 2009I just got a new LG Flatron w3000H 30″ monitor in the mail. Along with the fanless Radeon HD 4670 that I got yesterday gives me a total of 8.704 (that’s ((2460*1600) + 2*(1920*1200))/10^6) megapixels to work on. 
Here’s my new setup!
Windows Home Server (NEED MOAR DATA!)
June 9th, 2009I’m really behind on posts. I couple weeks ago I built a new i7 computer, leaving my old (ha!) Core 2 Quad computer lonely and unusable. To remedy this sad situation, I bought a 1 terabyte hard drive and a copy of Windows Home Server to convert my trusty ol’ compy into a happy new home server. I’m not going to go too deep into the project in this post, but rather I am simply going to post this picture:
Lotsa windows (100) on my new compy
May 31st, 2009I thought I would test out my new i7 computer, so I opened up 100 programs (which includes a virtual machine running XP) and tiled the windows with Switcher. There are 50 programs on each monitor, vuala!
