My original H4 Bi-Xenon kit back in 2006 was great! It was plenty powerful and the light cut off was decent using the stock reflector, making it possible to aim the lights a bit higher, and get better road visibility. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case with the next set of H4 bulbs I purchased, after […]
GTalk issue for Android devices on CYTA network
A couple of months ago, I came across a very weird issue with Google’s chat client (GTalk) on my Android phone. After installing a new custom ROM, I have full Internet connectivity over my service provider’s 3G network (Cytamobile-Vodefone), except for GTalk. GTalk kept failing to connect over 3G, but it was fine through WiFi. […]
MDaemon to Microsoft Exchange migration
CarPC v.2.1 Project
This is just a minor update from my previous CarPC v.2.0 setup, but I decided to document it in order to add further details and photos missing from my original post. The only hardware changes in this new setup are: the removal of the laptop DVD drive, since I never used it all these years. […]
CYTA… Insecuring people
Before I start, I would like to emphasize that i am not a “hacker”, neither a security expert. I am just another judgmental, pretty-disappointed Cyta subscriber, who enjoys messing around 🙂 It hasn’t been long since CYTA received a serious security blow, when all of their subscribers’ DSL Access and Cytanet credentials, including email […]
Spiceworks network inventory/monitoring tool
While looking for methods for making an inventory of the Windows/Office licenses in a 100+ PCs network, I came across Spiceworks. A free inventory and monitoring tool, rapidly developed over the past years. After using it for the first 10 minutes, I had to stop because I was salivating on my keyboard, out of IT-happiness […]
Ubuntu in my life
A long time ago (Windows 95 long time ago), I attempted experimenting with Linux (Red Hat), with no particular success. After going through an odyssey to install, I finally managed to boot Red Hat… but my experience ended there more or less. My crappy modem (MWave 28.8K, ISA… good times! 🙂 ) wouldn’t work under […]
A little something for my friend Yianna (ॐ)
My dear old friend Yianna turned… 24 ( 😉 ) lately. Knowing that she enjoys uniqueness…I decided to make something special for her. Since she has a thing for the symbol ॐ (wikipedia’s explanation wasn’t very insightful on this matter I can say), I focused my design around it. Basic parts/tools of the whole design […]
Retro/Redundant Technology
I finally got some days off work, so I decided to go through my messy room (aka chaos, lab, storage place, etc) and put some order. So far it’s been very tiring and very time consuming, but very entertaining… thus I decided to write a quick post to show my findings. It feels so great […]
A year with my SLR camera
It’s been a year already since I purchased my beloved Canon EOS 1000D which despite being an entry level model, it never stopped to amaze me. As I expected when purchasing back then, it’s hard indeed to carry around with you all the time, thus I kept my good old Fuji F30 compact camera. But […]
