This has been on my mind for a while, and I've finally started to get around to doing it after getting frustrated with nokia maps on my n95. What is CGPS? CGPS is a community driven global positioning system based on OpenGPS, and a custom linux kernel. How will it work? CGPS will rely on community members to update its maps, POI, etc. This will hopefully lead to an increase in overall

Further my last post about keeping an eye on the servers, I decided I would reuse the display from my old palm vx, however it seemed like a waste being touchscreen and all. Now all my servers run ubuntu LAMPS server, having a good bit of knowledge of linux I knew it was possible to open a console from another computer over a serial connection, so all I needed to do was find and install a

Sure I could of used SNMP or perhaps even VNC to my servers to check up on them, but I'm lazy and needed a quick way to see if they are all good. So I started looking round on the net, considering using a small 2x16 LCD hooked up to the printer port (LTP), but I would still need to get up and read it. So I settled on using a simple display using LED's. The circuit itself is simple enough,

Alot of stuff has hit the market in the last few years operating on the 2.4Ghz range everything from Wifi to doorbells and even wireless CCTV camera's, but are they secure? Well for reasons unknown I picked up a AV reciever from ebay a few years ago, Its not brilliant but it did manage to pickup my nieghboors cctv camera with the aid of a cantenna. The uses for a portable AV reciever capable of

Well good news, I finally got myself a Nokia N95! What does this mean? Well it now means I can start posting some half decent pictures on the site, seeing as it has a 5 Megapixel camera which is alot better than my dying camera. And one of the more intresting things about this phone is it came with as set of RCA cables, I haven't tried it out on the TV yet but it will be intresting to find out

I was reading a forum this morning about transplanting a laptop into a aluminum briefcase, I desperately need a new laptop, but I hate the battery life of them. So why don't I just build a laptop to my own specifications? Well I'm going to.

When my PVR decided to die, I decided to go down the media server route. I already had a Mediaportal setup on a spare pc fitted with a DVB capture card. This time I wanted to pipe the video round the house. It occured to me that the best way to do this would be to feed the composite output of my graphics card into a Rf modulator, then into a distribution amp and finally though the coaxial cable
