Build My Own Cell Tower

Since Sprint won’t come to me, I’ll just boost their signal. I just bought this cell phone booster that you install somewhere in your home that improves signal. And guess what, it really works! I can actually make phone calls in my house on my cell phone. I of course installed the antenna on my tower at about 35 feet. I may put it higher to make it even better.

This is again in preperation for my office. When I move into the office, I am moving my “home” phone line to the office and only using the cell phone. Jessica’s should work on the booster also.

Anyway, if you’d like a system like this, let me know, and I can set it up for you!

New(er) Server

In anticipation for my move to the new office, I need to shut down my IBM Xeon server for a short while. This server will in fact be moving to a datacenter at some point in time in the future. I however, would like to keep full control of this site and am moving it to a different server which I will keep at my office. It’s not really a new server. It is actually my old server. It is a dual 1.0GHz PIII with 1GB of RAM and a 36GB RAID1 (with an extra drive waiting for a failure). It is over 6 years old, but continues to chug along. This will be my play server. If you are reading this, then you are reading it on my new server. Congratulations!
