My little place on the interwebs
Intel’s Next Unit of Computing, NUC as its affectionately called, is a 3rd gen i3-3217U processor in a small 4 inch x 4 inch x 1.5 inch box. Its size and power gives it great potential as a compact media PC. The model I opted to try was the D33217GKE (Black top) as it came with dual HDMI and Gigabit LAN. The DC3217BY (Red top), drops the Gigabit Ethernet and 2nd HDMI in favour for a Thunderbolt port.

This post is continuing on the new site now - geeklingo.net Want to run a HP N54L Microserver with 16GB ECC RAM for ESXi? It’s easier than you think. I finally got around to migrating my N40L ESXi setup to the newer N54L. Process was relatively simple, take the guts out of one box and add to the other. The only component that didn’t move across was the RAM. This is because I wanted to give the Kingston 16GB kit a go.

Like others, after spending a little time looking around for a good LEGO table I came up with nothing really suitable for my 2.5 and 4.5 year old boys. So, with some design tips from my wife I embarked on a short DIY project. The goal is to build a good size table that can be enjoyed by 2 – 4 kids. The idea was to have drawers accessible by both sides.
