Disk Management in a Small Office

Disk Management in a Small Office
Originally uploaded by dewelch

A client called me in today to do a clean install on one of their Windows XP boxes. Usually this entails me diggings through lots of dusty boxes trying to find the right disks for Windows, drivers and other software.

Imaginemy joy when I was presented with this amazingly organized collection of CDs. This rebuild only took me 2 hours from start to finish and I give a lot of the credit to having everything easily at hand.

If you want to emulate someone when it comes to organizing your computer life...here is a great place to start.

This DIY domino clock tells the time using three LED-lit tiles via Arduino Blog

After coming across Carbon Design Group’s Domino Wall Clock, which uses electronic magnetic coil motors to reveal white dots, Instructables member “Kothe” decided to create a simplified version of their own.

Unlike its inspiration, Kothe’s device uses addressable RGB LEDs as dots that allow for a variety of colors to shine through.

Onion Pi makes your web traffic anonymous via Open Electronics

Hmmm, might be an easy (and relatively cheap) way to play around with Tor and learn a bit more about this anonymizing service. -- Douglas Adafruit’s Onion Pi is a Tor proxy that makes your web traffic anonymous, allowing you to use the internet free of snoopers and any kind of surveillance. Follow Adafruit’s tutorial on setting up Onion Pi and you’re on your way to a peaceful anonymous browsing experience. Tor is an onion routing service – every internet packet goes through 3 layers of relays before going to your destination. This makes it much harder for the server you are accessing (or anyone snooping on your Internet use) to figure out who you are and where you are coming from.
