Oh yeah, I’m practically running the planet from here. ;’)
I’m examining some prospects like getting a Mac mini, probably the base model, to replace this PPC behemoth, which btw makes almost no sound at all. Kinda creepy. :’) The Mac mini with OS X Server is more money, and is tempting because I’d like to run my own cloud from here, but I have other ways of doing that anyway.
Consolidation of all these machines and capabilities is going to take time now that I’ve got broadband settled. Tonight I’d like to get the rest of the electronics settled in — they have built-in wireless, and I can’t figure out how to make them hook up. Probably needed to get my initial setup taken care of, get the hotspot registered (once i got a steady signal, it wouldn’t let me do anything else, and I got stymied a couple of times, leading to lots of blue air and pledges to take everything new back for refund and become a monk).
Oh, forgot — /thread hijack
Was tinkering with a Net10 android. No luck turning it into hotspot yet. They've got a great pay as you go plan at $45 a month for unlimited everything over 3G. Most coverage too.
