Flat Screen TV Mounted!!!

Butch — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 23:19:26 +0000

So today I completed a freelance project I was working on which included building a powerpoint presentation, mounting a flatscreen tv, and installing a computer which could interface with the tv to display upcomming events, announcements, or promotional ads at Lejoy Uniforms. One thing I learned from this experience is always measure… The TV install side went great, we measured, and double measured and leveled and all was great!. The side which was not visible (power locatione and HDMI cable entrance on the other side of the wall was not so great… We drew our box directly on top of one of the studs… It actually would have been fine if we would have began cutting on the right instead of the left as you can see in the below pictures. Everything turned out ot be ok though, they are having a painter come by and do some patch work and that shouldn’t be a big deal. On the hardware I installed a Dell Studio Hybrid which is crazy small yet has an HDMI out what we here looking for. As for the TV itself we found a blackfriday deal that was out of this world. Digital Lifestyle 42″ 720 for 550.00 (after shipping). Most hardware was purchased from Monoprice including the TV Mount, Power kit so the electrical wiring would be up to electrical code, In wall HDMI cables. The rest of the hardware was picked up at home depot. We used Toggle bolts to mount the TV to metal studs. 4 Toggles did the trick, and it is as sturdy as anything. Overall it was a great experience and it feels so good to have completed that. PLUG - If you are ever in Downtown Birmingham, AL you should go check it out. Their website is listed here - http://www.lejoyuniforms.com, and they sell Scrubs, shoes, and pretty much any gear a nurse or doctor would need. If you want any more details or links to what I used just leave a comment and Iwill provide. Now for a pic of the finished product.

Sharepod - Manage your iPod on the Go (no iTunes Required)

Butch — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 16:29:03 +0000

Just finished an article at MP3 Buzz about my favorite program on 2008. It is called sharepod it basically allows you to manage your iPod (any flavor) with a small .exe file which you can load and run from your iPod. The coolest thing about this program is that you can back your music up to your computer, aka copy your music from your iPod to your computer in a really easy way. Everyone should check it out if you have an any sort of iPod.

UPDATE Thanks to Jaymoon - Floola is also another great program that can be used and stored directly on your ipod. Not only will Floola run under windows but under MAC OS X and Lunix.

Xbox Live through a Laptop and wifi

Butch — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 04:16:14 +0000

For all the people who got xbox live this Christmas, this is for you. I was recently asked how you would go about connecting to xbox live using a laptop and a wifi connection. This process seems pretty simple just get on wireless and plug in the xbox right? EEAAHH (I guess that is how you would type it). It is simple but not that simple. The process for windows XP and Windows Vista is pretty similar, but there are a few differences. For a detailed explination with pictures follow the link below.

The steps consist of going to your wireless connection in the properties sections - selecting “Sharing tab” and enabling Internet Connection Sharing. Once enabled disable windows firewall or open the xbox live ports as listed below.

TCP 80
UDP 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074
UDP 53
TCP 53

Once this is completed proceed to plug an straight through cat5 cable from Xbox Ethernet to Laptop Ethernet port and your xbox should receive an IP address. All should be up and running at this point. See you on live. Also for those of you who don’t know I am butchypoo on xboxlive but am taking a break from that account gold expired and using up a 2 month free trial as butchypoo3. Happy Fraggin’
