DJ AM Dies.

Adam Goldstein, a.k.a. DJ AM was found dead in his New York apartment today along with some drug paraphernalia. Last year, he survived a deadly plane crash along with Travis Barker. There's currently a new Final Destination movie in the theaters. If Mr. Barker dies, I'm calling shenanigans.

Best Chrome Plug-Ins 2017

I haven't blogged in a while but I had a bunch of new Chrome extensions I wanted to share. 1. Crypt-Up . Emails are very insecure; they bounce around weird servers that you cannot control. And encryption has been very annoying. Crypt-Up is an extension that beautifully implements PGP encryption for Gmail. (Right now, it's only for Chrome but mobile apps are being planned.) Under the PGP encryption scheme, every user has a private key and a public key. The private key is kept secret, and the public key has to be shared.

Setting Up Phone Service With 8x8 (Packet 8) VOIP

I recently moved offices and decided it was time to have a real phone system. At first, I looked at expandable phone systems such as the Panasonic KX-TS4200B  but the reviews weren't too favorable, and it would require some new wiring to be run. Next, I considered the XBlue X16 , which sounded great. However, there was not a lot of information about the company so I decided to chose a vendor that would stick around and deliver customer service in the future. I considered running my own Asterisk VOIP PBX server, but that was just too involved and unreliable. Finally, I decided upon VOIP phone service with 8x8 (formerly known as Packet 8). VOIP is short for Voice Over IP, or phone calls over the Internet. I'm pretty comfortable with the technology, but many users may prefer to stick with regular copper phone lines for better reliability.

RAID on HP ProLiant Microserver

The HP ProLiant Microserver  has been a popular platform for small businesses and home users who want to run Windows Home Server 2011 . RAID is a technology that stores data across multiple drives for redundancy against hard drive failure or for extra speed. There are different kinds of RAID arrays. I will explain how to set up a RAID 1 array, which mirrors (copies) data on two drives to keep the data safe even if one of the drives fail.
