  • Expired Domains – A Headache (but a learning experience)

    Hey all! It’s been a few months, I know. But I wanted to share an experience I had with my recent domain name headache. So as you may or may not know, I’ve owned ppsstudios.com since May 2013. I purchased it via Google Apps which in turn set my registrar to eNom. Both are useful services and work…

  • 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).
