Not too long ago I had made a post about the pi-top and a child-hood dream I had of creating a modular "testing" PC for developers. With the joy, and success I had creating the previous pi-top. I decided to buy another one, this time in black! The Idea My day, to day job(s), consist of programming in JavaScript, and C# as well as managing…

I always have been, and I always will be an avid gamer. I've long accepted the fact it's just part of who I am. You also won't find me directly supporting too many games on my Blog. However, around the first of this year, I stumbled onto a game on the Steam platform called Screeps. The description then read, "Screeps is an open source MM…

I've had an interesting view of the security industry. Being a software engineer for over 20+ years in both the application and web space. I have had the pleasure of both hacking and being hacked on many occasion. I would absolutely agree with many industry professionals that security is nothing more than a cat and mouse game. I will add…

Roughly a year ago. I found an interesting project on Indiegogo. Typically those that know me. Know I'm not a fan of Crowd-funding. While it's a very powerful tool. One I've tried to use myself.

This one got my attention because it's primary computing source was a Nexus 5. Which, happens to be my phone. The robot was called MobBob, and…

In 2013, i purchased an Orion DELTA 3d Printer. I justified the printer to myself because my materials construction skills are non-existent. I'm writing about it now. Because of the quality of the product it's self. This printer with very little maintenance has lasted me 3 years. The only thing I've had to do is grease the rails, and, re-…

The new blog is hosted by Microsoft Azure, protected by Cloudflare, and, powered by Ghost, Node.js, and, SQLite3. I had to bring all the previous posts, images, and, videos over manually. Some of them where clean…

Found something interesting today. Inside of Windows Registry, Microsoft, will keep a copy of all applications that require compatibility settings. While this is obviously a requirement (has to be stored somewhere). It looks like windows does not actually purge this information. At all… In fact, it may even create duplicate entries for va…
