  • Finally! An internal DNS server that works (for me)!

    So it’s been much too long since I wanted to do this, but thankfully, I have finally discovered the solution for which I can serve up my own DNS server for internal LAN things, but still have an external host that administers my public website! My scenario and quandry was this:

  • A Domain!!

    At last!! I tucked in my shirt, tightened my belt and made the plunge. I am now the proud pseudo-owner of ppsstudios.com! For that reason, I’ve created this Google Sites …site, and then in addition linked THIS blog to blog.ppsstudios.com (mostly because I wanted to try subdomains, to see how easy they were). All the…

    AR.Drone – Infrequently Asked Questions

    Just recently (like, yesterday), I received my first (and hopefully long-lasting) AR.Drone 2 from Parrot in the mail! This thing is a four-rotor remote-controlled copter operated with an app on my Android! So far, I can say I’m fairly happy with it, save for the stock battery which, in short, is really really sad. However, with a…

  • PLC and Hardware Control

    Take a survey related to the following Aha! Thank you, Dad for my new Arduino hardware controller (and the partially-outfitted Craftsman toolbox to make my life simpler when building stuff)! Easy easy to program, and easier to wire up! There was a time a few years ago that we were playing with a Seimen’s PLC at my old job,…

  • Cell Phone to Sound Board for only $20!

    I have successfully finished yet another garage-shop electronics project that actually WORKS! Tuesday, Pastor Mike at Rez announced that in two weeks, when they’re on their short-term missions trip to India, they’ll be performing yet another Skype call in to 6:33 pm. However, the last two or three times they’ve been anywhere, they’ve tried this,…

  • Filehost

    I’ve created an Apache-based filehost. This is generally for short-term downloads that I want to make available to certain people. Really, I don’t expect to leave files in this folder up for very long, but only long enough for people to download. How many ways can I say this? Anyway, you’ll find the filehost at http://ppsstudios.myftp.org.…

  • DSL and Networking

    I’ve always hated self-help books you find at B&N or the library on how to set up your own home network. In short, they always would assume that you had high-speed internet coming into your house and that you could create a standard configuration. However, up until about 30 minutes ago, we were using dialup…

    Here’s what we did BEFORE all those pictures of the media center were taken (on December 12): Driving up to the National Forest near Redfeather Lakes

  • Media Center

    Here is a set of photos of the church media center production area (not including store and duplication, which everybody can see if they just come in and buy something).

  • Free Websites Lost

    Somewhat disappointing news: The “Summer Home” of PPSStudios (hosted on WebSamba) closed down on me, as WebSamba decided they couldn’t keep free hosting alive. So I’m down to one free website, and they’re high enough on the Google listing that I don’t think I’ll have any problems from them any time soon. They’ve closed me off…but remember…
