Post:Projects, Projects Everywhere

From Fozzee.net

It's been a while since my last update (16 days to be exact) but I've been crazy busy with stuff. In the past few weeks, I've got the new file server up and running (complete with 1.8TB of formatted, RAID5'd space), done some general home improvements (They didnt bother to finish resealing the windows after having replaced them last fall) and done some other stuff around the house. Perhaps more interestingly, I've made additional progress on my bike, having fabricated and installed a working chain tensioner and the battery box this last few weeks. On the downside, I learned that at least one of the batteries I had earmarked is trash, drawing down under a volt under the motor's load. So back to the battery pile to try to find a pair... At worst, I'm hoping to salvage some batteries in the process of my Datacenter Remodel, as my current UPS isn't terribly functional ATM. I'm considering ordering a 2nd APC BR1500, so I have one upstairs and one downstairs, but that's another project.

On an unrelated note, I noticed a $9.99 charge on Becky's Sprint bill for "SJA Mobile". A Google search quickly turned up that something was fishy. I "chatted" Sprint's customer service to inquire as to what it was for, and before I even got my question fully out, the rep was offering a refund and to block the charges. Fishy indeed. I found this Skydeck report, which formed the basis for my suspicions.

In the next few weeks, watch this website, as I've got plans to make some major improvements to the front page.
