Build Your Own Personal Cloud Storage Server

noreply@blogger.com (Ananta) — Wed, 9 May 2012 21:07:00 +0530

We commonly post about Dropbox and other popular cloud services which seem to be all the hype as of recently. This is quite understandable, as cloud services are undeniably convenient. Not only do they allow us to push our favorite content to the multiple devices that we use, such as smartphones, laptops and tablets, but cloud storage also serves as a decent backup solution.
You can read our recent post on the differences between the major Cloud players such as Google, Amazon and Dropbox here. One con of cloud storage, however, is that the cloud isn’t a cloud, but rather a company’s server.

By creating your own personal cloud storage server, you can host your own data without having to store your files, media, and other digital content in a data collection center, but rather, your own setup.
A cloud service usually offers the following basic core features:

Quality backup solution. When things are stored in the cloud, they are considered to be backed up.
Accessible anywhere, even on the go. Not limited to a user’s at-home Wi-Fi network, quality cloud services can be accessed even when on the road using 3G/4G.
Accessible through smartphones and tablets, usually via an app.

Now, these requirements make a task like building your own cloud server seem quite complex. The backup part is not all that complex, simply incorporate a RAID configuration into the setup. However, it’s the accessible anywhere via 3G/4G and accessible via smartphones and tablets requirements that make this project a bit tedious.
There are some products out there that target this specific personal cloud market, some of the more popular being:
Western Digital My Book Live

The My Book Live and My Book Live Duo are the two main products that make up WD’s personal cloud storage lineup. The difference between the two is simply that the Duo has two internal hard drives which come default as setup in RAID mirror, vs. the standard My Book Live, which features a single drive.
These Live My Books connect to a wireless router and operate mainly via Wi-Fi. However, they are also accessible anywhere via smartphone, tablet and computer via some specialty Western Digital apps and services called WD2go.
Iomega Personal Cloud

Iomega’s personal cloud service is quite similar to Western Digitals, with a few unique features. Supported devices include their Home Media Network Hard Drive – Cloud Edition and their StorCenter products.

Tonido

Tonido is a bit different from WD or Iomega’s offerings in that it is more of a software-only solution. You supply the server, which is usually just a computer with plenty of hard drive capacity.
With Tonido’s exclusive apps, you can access your computer from anywhere you have an internet connection, which is ultimately, a very simple cloud service. Have a spare computer laying around? Have a spare hard drive laying around? Installing Tonido and putting the drive in mirrored RAID with the main hard drive could be a simple solution to a personal cloud and backup storage.
Pogoplug

Pogoplug offers several different options for cloud hosting. Their free, basic plan allows you the standard 5GB of free storage that most cloud services offer, which they host. However, they also offer a self serve plan which allows you to host and deploy your own cloud from a PC using their quality software. This plan does have a $29.95 one time fee, but the software is also available for free 30-day trial.
The cloud portion of Pogoplug is accessible on the go or anywhere you can get internet using a secure connection to my.pogoplug.com. Alternatively, for smartphone and tablet access to the cloud, Pogoplug provides specialized apps that can even stream your favorite media and digital content.
Open Stack
Open Stack might be the Linux Ubuntu of personal cloud storage software. Marketed as a scalable cloud solution for home and business users, open stack is a more customizable, but more complex personal cloud software that is open source and highly developed and supported by a community. This might be a bit of overkill for some people, but if you want to build a cloud from scratch (not quite from scratch), Open Stack may be a good starting point.

Time Capsule

Some people have found some fairly cool hacks and workarounds for Apple products. YouTube has videos of hacked Apple TVs running full versions of OS X, which is pretty awesome. Giga OM, more specifically Jenny Kortina, has posted an excellent piece regarding how to access your Time Capsule over the internet, which ultimately turns it into a server with similar features to the Pogoplug service mentioned above. Of course, this setup doesn’t include any dedicated iPhone or iPad apps, but if you are wanting a simple cloud storage solution, such as a hard drive that is accessible from anywhere there’s internet, definitely check out the article on Giga OM.
Thank you for stopping by the site for today’s post. If anyone knows of any other ways to setup a personal cloud server, feel free to leave a comment in order to help others.

How to Use Remote Desktop Sharing in NetMeeting

noreply@blogger.com (Ananta) — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 00:44:00 +0530

The Windows NT-Server CD-ROM includes under \CLIENTS\SRVTOOLS the
"Windows NT Server Tools" for both Windows NT workstation and Windows95
(which work on Windows98), allowing to perform some common administration tasks
from a Windows95/98 system (avoiding to have to walk to the server console).

However when a higher level of management is required (like: administration of an Exchange Server),
a remote Control program like "pcAnyWhere" (to be purchased from Symantec) or

NetMeeting 3.x.x included free with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x
( previous versions of NetMeeting do NOT include this functionality).

is very helpful.
However: compared to pcAnyWhere, it has limited File-Transfer capabilities,
and I did have some stability problems with it on my NT4/SP6a server (but it is free.....)

Usually NetMeeting is used in "Conference" mode, where it can be used to give support,
requiring an operator to be present at the remote system to accept an incoming call, but it is
also possible to configure NetMeeting for "Remote Desktop":

When installing Internet Explorer 5.x, make sure that "NetMeeting" is selected as one of the
installation options. You will then find it under: "Programs" / "Accessories" / "Communications":


	When you use NetMeeting the first time, it will go through a serious of screen for registration and calibration. You can change all these settings later under "Tools" / "Options". ( if you have done this already, continue to "Enabling Sharing" )

	You are forced to enter your name (first and last) and an e-mail address. You can enter your real address or a fake one (like I did)
	Microsoft offers the use of a "Directory Server" via the Internet. For simple use on a LAN, that is not required, so deactivate it.
	You need to define the connection speed. If you will make "Remote Desktop Control" only via the LAN, select LAN, but if you connect via a modem to the Server and then run "Remote Desktop Control" via this dial-up connection, then please select the modem-speed (usually 28.800) (and if you modem is not already at least 28.800, then BUY one now ! You need it to be able to work at an acceptable speed )
	I like a shortcut on my desktop.
	Since NetMeeting is originally a conferencing software, it assumes that you have a sound-card and a microphone, which it will now attempt to calibrate.
	If you do NOT have a Sound-card in your NT4-server (which you do NOT need for Remote Desktop), then just skip these calibrations with "Next"
	To enable "Remote Desktop Sharing", you must select in the menu: "Tools" to "Enable Sharing"
	It will install additional software modules (it did not ask me for the IE 5.x CD-ROM), select "YES". After that, you will be asked to reboot.

Configuration of NetMeeting as RemoteAccess Host:

Once you "Enabled Sharing",then you can select
the option for "Remote Desktop Sharing" to start
up the Remote Desktop Sharing Wizard.

	It is a very simple setup, mostly just information for you to read.
	An important note: To connect to a desktop of an NT-system, you will need to be Administrator.
	I strongly suggest to activate a password protected Screen-saver.
	Done. As stated on this screen: just exit NetMeeting, then use the icon in the taskbar to switch on/off the "NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing"

Once you have activated "NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing", you can log off from the
NT-system.

Using NetMeeting to access a Remote Desktop

NetMeeting is then connecting to the remote system:	To connect to a remote system, start up NetMeeting, and make a "Call" (in my example via the IP-address). For access to an NT Remote Desktop, you need to place the checkmark on "Require security for this call".
	Once connected, you will be prompted for the Administrator password, required to gain access to the NT-system (this is independent from a User Login) With a proper password, you will then see the desktop of the remote system.

You can select to display the remote desktop as "Full Screen"
windows, which is very handy when both systems have the same
screen resolution. Use the "Restore" displayed in the
top-right corner of the full-screen display to switch back.

Once you are connected, there may be a need to send from the menu "Control" a
"Control-Alt-Delete", as required for example to get to the Logon-window :

Once you are finished with your work on the
Remote computer, terminate the connection by

Antivirus for Android Phones

noreply@blogger.com (Ananta) — Sun, 4 Sep 2011 17:05:00 +0530

Android has gained huge popularity in the last year, and it has given good competition to iOS, Windows and Blackberry. However, this gaining popularity has also put Android on the hit-list of virus developers. Last week it was reported in a news that the notorious ‘Trojan’ may have hit the Android. Though, Android is based on Linux, it will be stupid to believe that this can be 100% virus free. Application developers may inject hidden code and deliver virus into your device.
Weather it is PC or mobile, it is important to guard against viruses by keeping a good anti-virus software. Here is a list of top 3 anti-virus software for Android:

AVG Antiviurs:

This is a free anti virus and can be downloaded from the android market. This app is from the famous AVG that provides security for personal computers also. AVG can scan your mobile (including the SD card) and find the malicious software. It can also help you locate the lost / stolen device via the GPS. AVG also provides protection against SMS spammers !
[ Download Link ]

Lookout:

Lookout is a very popular mobile security application. It can keep track of all the apps installed on your mobile and can easily scan them. This also provides a feature called ‘Find my phone’ that can help you find your lost/stolen phone.
[ Download Link ]

SmrtGaurd:

Just like AVG and Lookout, this also provides you the same features like scanning the applications and also helps you locate your lost / stolen phone.
[ Download Link ]

All these applications are free for Android, so you can download any of the above and keep your Phone secure.

Tips to keep your Android safe:

Install apps only from secure and trusted websites. Always install from the Android market. Do not install the applications from 3rd party sources because you never know what kind of code is inside it !
If you install applications only from the Android market, then you can be sure that Google has verified the security norms before publishing it on the market.
Always install ‘official’ apps for Social networking. For e.g. there are many apps for Twitter and Facebook which are developed by the independent developers. However, the official apps are also available from the Facebook and Twitter. All these apps will require you to login details. You never know if these details are secretly stolen by the developer’s code ! Hence, it is always better to use the official apps. You can identify the official apps by downloading them directly from the website, OR by checking out the developer’s email. For e.g. the developer of the twitter app has email: <some_one>@twitter.com –> Original !

Control Your Facebook Privacy in Firefox

noreply@blogger.com (Ananta) — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 00:43:00 +0530

Facebook’s privacy controls are notoriously dubious. Most users believe their posts and photos are only visible to their friends, but this simply is not true. And, even those users who have properly aligned their Facebook privacy controls can have their controls reset at any given time, with no notice, by Facebook.
Firefox users can take control of their Facebook privacy by using uProtect.it. This service allows Facebook users to decide exactly which of their friends can see each comment or status update. Not even Facebook’s administrators can see these posts unless a user specifically allows it.

While using Firefox, click the Connect with Your Facebook link on uProtect.it’s homepage. When prompted, click Allow to grant the service access to your Facebook account.

Enter the same password you use for Facebook, then click Create Account.

Click Click Here to Install uProtect.it. Firefox will likely prompt you to allow the software to install. After it has installed, the browser will restart.

Once the browser has restarted, click the next button in the bottom-right corner of the page.

The service then declares your installation a success. Click Default Permissions to set up default your privacy settings.

Click Permission Setting.

All of your friends are then listed with check boxes next to their names. From here, you can choose specific friends to allow to read your comments and status updates, or you can choose to allow all of your friends to read them. Either way, the general public will not have access to your posts.

Now, when you go to post a comment or status update on Facebook, the page will look a little different. uProtect.it’s logo will appear at the top of the page, and a green Encrypt button will appear where the Send button used to be.

Click Encrypt to send your message to the people you select for your default settings. Otherwise, click the down arrow next to Encrypt to choose specific people to allow to read your post. You can also set an expiration date for the post.

Even though the service currently only supports Firefox, it will work in other browsers—at least to some extent. We hope uProtect.it will eventually add complete support for at least Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer. The service has plans to add protection for Twitter and LinkedIn accounts in the near future.

Using Speech to Text on Android

noreply@blogger.com (Ananta) — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 00:37:00 +0530

While voice activated controls are nothing new to smart phones, Android has the most efficient and accurate voice controls of any modern smart phone UI. Not only can you access voice controls from the Android home screen, speech-to-text is available anywhere the virtual keyboard appears.
To have speech to search available on your home screen, add the Google Search Widget and tap on the Microphone icon.

For speech-to-text, navigate to an area where text is entered using the virtual keyboard. For example, enter the Messages app by tapping its icon.

Select a conversation from the list.

At the bottom of the screen you will see a blank text field. Press this text field to bring up the virtual keyboard.

On the bottom left-hand side of the virtual keyboard you will see the microphone icon again. Tap the icon to begin speech recognition.

A Speak Now window will appear. Talk slowly and with proper diction. Once you’re finished, stay silent and your phone will begin to process your input automatically.

A processing window will appear and shortly after, your input will appear in the text field.

Virtual Graphics Card - Play Latest Games without Graphic Cards

noreply@blogger.com (Ananta) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 00:23:00 +0530

Many times we are stuck up with a system that just doesn’t provide enough juice to run the latest game…the result being-

you either spend a pot of money (atleast Rupees 3500 or 70$) for getting the latest graphics card
or you just read reviews of games like Crysis , Far Cry on gamespot and feel like a noob,fully knowing that your system just won’t be able to support it.

Take heart ! Here’s a wicked software with which you can beat 128-256 MB of graphics card requirements with a very modest 1GB DDR2 RAM.
The savior is 3D-Analyzer.Click to download.
What it does is,it uses a part of your RAM as Graphics card memory. For example,if you got 1GB DDR2 RAM,then it’ll use 128MB of it as a Virtual Graphics card,and the remaining 896MB will be used as a regular RAM.
Cool right….so you can Virtually emulate NVIDIA GeForce TI 4600,NVIDIA GeForce FX 4900 ULTRA,ATi Radeon 8500,ATi Radeon 9800 PRO.Follow the given procedure:
After downloading the software,first install it.
You’ll see something like this:

3D Analyzer-Starting Screen

Next,click on ‘Select’ option.

Select

Select FarCry.exe
Next step,select the options as shown.Note that i have selected the VendorID as 4098 and DeviceID 20400 as i want to select the ATi Radeon 9800 PRO graphics card(use the index provided in the screen on the right). Click on Run.Doesn’t matter even if you don’t save the batch file.Your ready to roll ! Please note that the .exe file is to be selected from the main folder,and not the shortcut present on the desktop.

I got Oblivion 4 and Neverwinter Nights 2 to work using this. For running Oblivion however,you need to install a patch called Oldblivion.Click to download and follow the instuctions on Oldblivion site.

For Neverwinter Nights 2,you need to tweak the stuff a bit.

Go to Start->Run->regedit.Then press F3 and search for hardwareinformation.memorysize.Click on the file,and modify the binary values to 00 00 00 08.This fools the system into believing that you have 128MB video RAM.Then select only the ‘emulate hw tnl caps’ option.Do not select any other.Select ATi Radeon 9800.Click on Run.

Change Wireless Channel to Avoid Connection Problems

noreply@blogger.com (Ananta) — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:01:00 +0530

Having trouble connecting to your wireless router or your computer drops the connection to your wireless router often? There are a slew of reasons why you might not be able to connect to your wireless router, but one of them may be the fact that the wireless channel is being interfered with by other devices in your home/office.
Most wireless routers use the 2.4 GHz range to broadcast the wireless network. Unfortunately, there are tons of other devices like cordless phones, wireless printers, wireless monitoring equipment, etc that can also use that 2.4 GHz range. Some of the newer wireless routers have two broadcast signals, a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz. If your computer supports the 5 GHz signal, you’ll catch a lot less interference since it’s still new and not being used by every wireless device currently made.
Further breaking down the 2.4 GHz signal, there are 11 channels that make up the range. Most wireless routers are set to Auto and default to channel 6. Sometimes when you restart the router, it will automatically choose a different channel to boost the wireless signal.
If you have a large number of wireless devices in your home and are having trouble connecting or maintaining a proper connection to your router, consider changing the channel and see how that affects performance. You can also use this method to try and increase your wireless signal. If there is less interference on a different channel, you’ll be able to connect from a longer distance.

The correct settings page to change the wireless channel is different for every router, so you’ll have to browse through the web interface to find it. In my case, I
have an AT&T router and once I login into the web interface, I click on Settings and then LAN.

Since we want to adjust the wireless settings, I would next click on Wireless.

Under the heading Network, you can see there is a drop-down box named Wireless Channel. It also lists the current wireless channel, which is 11. There is also a rescan button, which finds the channel with the least interference and sets the current channel to that number. In my case, 11 seems to work best for all my wireless devices.
When you go into the web interface for your wireless router, you are basically looking for “Wireless Settings”. For a Netgear router, for example, they have Wireless Setup under Setup on the left navigation menu.

Clicking on that will give you the wireless settings, where you can change the channel.

My router is newer, so it has settings for both the 2.4 GHz network and the 5 GHz network. For the 2.4 GHz signal, your channels are 1 thru 11. For the 5 GHz network, your channel choices are 36, 44, 149, and 157.
Again, this is a simple, yet effective way to fix a lot of wireless problems that can be caused by interference from other wireless devices. If you are having trouble finding the setting, post a comment here and I’ll try to help. Enjoy!

Receive Emails Via Text Message

noreply@blogger.com (Ananta) — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0530

It is no secret that we love smartphones, but we recognize that there are still people in the world using plain, no-Internet cell phones. We envy their phone bills, but pity their lack of always-on connection to the Web.
TXTJet.com has found a way to give non-smartphone users at least a glimpse of the functionality we gadget gurus take for granted. By signing up with the service, you can receive email on absolutely any phone that can receive text messages.

To sign up, create a username and password, then click the blue Create my Account button.

Enter your phone number, without parenthesis and dashes, then choose your cellular provider. Providers are listed by country, with most countries in North America and Europe supported, as well as India, Singapore and Japan. Click Save and Verify when finished.

Within seconds, a text message containing a confirmation code arrives on your phone. Enter the confirmation code on the TXTJet Web site, and click Save and Verify.

Next, enter your email address and email password. Since the service works very similarly to Outlook and Thunderbird, it requires the email password and uses it in the same manner as these programs. Click Save and Verify when finished.

Finally, choose the settings for your emails. You can set a maximum number of text messages per email (if your phone limits characters, one email may take 5 or more text messages). You can set blackout times when the service is not to send you emails, like the hours you normally sleep.

One of the best settings is the ability to only receive emails from certain people, or to exclude emails from certain people. After you have made your choices, click Save and Verify.

A congratulations message will appear at the top of the window. Your phone will now receive a text within a minute of the time an email is received. To reply to the email, simply answer the text.

TXTJet is a great option to receive emails on a phone with no Internet connection. Our only concern is the vast number of text messages it would take to transmit the hundreds of emails we receive everyday. If you are going to use a service like TXTJet, it is definitely best to have unlimited text messages on your cell phone plan.

Using Internet Explorer 9′s ActiveX Filtering Feature

noreply@blogger.com (Ananta) — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:05:00 +0530

ActiveX controls are programs that add extra functions to Internet Explorer, such as the ability to watch videos and play games in your web browser. While they can be useful, they can also pose a security risk. Internet Explorer 9′s new ActiveX Filtering feature can prevent websites from installing and using ActiveX controls on your computer. ActiveX Filtering blocks all ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer 9. However, you can customize the feature so that it doesn’t run on websites where you want to use ActiveX controls.

Turning On ActiveX Filtering

ActiveX Filtering is turned off by default in Internet Explorer 9. To turn the feature on, start Internet Explorer 9 and click the Tools button in the upper right hand corner of the browser. Select Safety, then ActiveX Filtering. A check mark should now appear beside ActiveX Filtering when you view the Tools drop-down menu.

The website may give you a warning that you need to install Adobe Flash.
You should attempt to disable ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9 before attempting to reinstall Flash. To do this, click the blue circle button on the right side of the address bar, then click the Turn off ActiveX Filtering button. Repeat this step for each website on which you would like to use ActiveX controls.

Rotate Wallpaper by Keyword in Windows

noreply@blogger.com (Ananta) — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:04:00 +0530

A change of scenery is good for mental health, but most of us spend our days staring at our computer screens. The only change of scenery available to us is through our desktop wallpaper. In Windows 7 and Vista, there are several ways to rotate wallpaper automatically, such as with an RSS feed, but this only rotates the wallpaper once a day or so.
With Pulse, you can rotate wallpaper every few minutes by specifying a keyword and allowing the small program to run in the background.

Pulse downloads as a RAR file, which means it must be extracted before using it. We used WinRAR to extract it, but there are other unzip programs that will handle it. Once unzipped, double-click the Pulse.exe file.

At first glance, it will appear that nothing is happening, but Pulse is running. Expand the menu next to your clock and look for Pulse’s icon.

Right-click the icon and choose Options.

This menu allows complete configuration of Pulse. First, enter a keyword that Pulse should use to find wallpaper for your desktop.

Next, choose a source for Pulse to use to find wallpapers. You can use either Wallbase or Rewalls, but since Rewalls is a Russian Web site, Pulse uses Google’s translator to translate your keyword. If your keyword does not translate well, you may receive weird wallpaper.

Use the slider to determine how often Pulse should rotate your wallpaper. You can choose as little as one minute or as much as every hour and a half.

A series of check boxes appear next. Check the first if you do not want low resolution pictures as wallpaper. Check the second if you only want to use max resolution wallpapers. Check the final box if you would also like your wallpaper to appear as the logon screen.

When Pulse downloads wallpaper, it is saved to your temporary file. Choose how often you would like these files deleted.

Click Apply and OK to save your changes.

Your wallpaper will not rotate at the interval you specified. However, once you restart your computer, you will also have to restart Pulse—it does not start when Windows starts. This is our biggest complaint about the program. While turned on, Pulse rotates the wallpaper seamlessly in the background without creating any sort of lag. The wallpapers it finds are crystal clear and beautifully rendered. We just wish it would integrate with Windows so we did not have to keep restarting it.
