Free Stuff - Baby Formula

September 29th, 2008 — 09:35 pm

I recently found out you can get various free samples and gifts from baby formula vendors. Since it’s FREE, of course I’ll sign up. Furthermore, initially you may need to try out different formula until you find the one that your baby like and stick to it.

Here are the programs:
Enfamil
Similac
Nestle Baby

D-Link DNS-323 NAS

September 4th, 2008 — 05:39 pm

I have been thinking about getting a NAS device for home use for quite some time, I even bought 2 500GB hard drives a few weeks back during a NCIX weekly sale. Originally I wanted to build a DIY NAS with unused equipment using either FreeNAS, OpenSolaris (with ZFS) or plain Linux. However at the end I just got lazy and settled for a simple NAS enclosure from D-Link. My reasoning is simple, I do system administration during the day, when I am home I just want to relax and “enjoy” the technology.

RAID1 array setup was fairly straight forward once you navigate to the web administration interface. Default login is “admin”, password is blank. I changed password and then created folders, users and group. After these steps I was able to mount my new volume and folder via


mount -t cifs -o username=abc,password=abc //nas/Volume_1/stuff /stuff
