Wow, the past few weeks have been insane with Christmas and my grandma’s hospital visits. But the good news is she’s all better now and back at home relaxing. I’ve been keeping myself busy too though, working on my home network and getting my website, computerhacking101.com, set up on it. I’ve even got a new subdomain, links.computerhacking101.com, where I can easily update affiliate links and other stuff. And on top of all that, I’m almost done with a script for a couple of videos I’m planning on releasing this month. Continue reading

I am going to be buying a new tripod from amazon. I should be getting it in a couple of days. [KINGJOY 75" Camera Tripod has an adaptor to use a camera or a phone on the tripod. It is only around $33.00 to buy it. I will tell you more about it on this page when I play around with it. I will be using it to hold my phone right now and later on I can buy a camera to do my videos on. Continue reading

So far so good with the mic. The test I did with it seems to be working better than my old mic. I will be posting a few test videos soon and will be posting them here. Continue reading

I started to move my Proxmox server to my 1u case and ran into a couple of problems. One is easily fixed and for the other one I will have to wait for a while. I am going to have to move the stand-offs for the motherboard. I just have to get a different wrench set. I lost the one I need of course. For the other one, I will have to wait until the heat sync company sends me the correct heat sync. Continue reading
