Fun with PVC pipe
by nathan on May.22, 2009, under Family
When I was a young I got a bag full of 3/4 PVC pipe cut to different lengths with a bunch of fittings for my birthday. It was such a cool gift! As a dad, I could not wait until I was able to do the same for my son. It only cost about $30 to get 20 feet of pipe, pack of 90^, pack of 45^, pack of Ts, 3 sprinkler heads, 2 3/4 valves, and a few other bits.
Joshua called it “Sprinkler Machine”

Several people asked me to put back up my US LATA Map. This was made a long time ago, back when there were 7 RBOCs.

Mounting a 2.5″ hard drive in slim floppy bay
by nathan on May.08, 2009, under Hardware
I have been looking for a way to move to removable 2.5″ boot/root disks on our servers. I am using all of the 3.5″ removable trays for storage leaving only a slim floppy bay in the case.
Supermicro 836S2-R800V
After much searching I found Thermaltake ST0002Z, a dual 2.5″ hot swap enclosure that mounts in a standard 3.5 inch floppy bay.

The two hot swap bays are actually 2 units that are bolted together making it very easy to take this apart and get yourself a nice 2.5 inch SATA bay that will fit in a slim floppy bay.
