Shoebox Computing

As I’ve stated elsewhere the name iLude came from a time when I installed a linux computer in my 1995 Honda Prelude. I used this computer for playing mp3’s and other geeky things that allowed me to vent some creativity.

Anyway that system was powered by a mini-itx board. I recently repurposed that board as the webserver for this site. Unfortunately that was short lived as the filter capacitors on the board had apparently dried out and they blew. Amazingly the system still ran but would become unstable after a time( shocking I know ).

So I replaced the board with a new Foxconn itx board. And installed it in a new “case”. Behold the shoebox server:

New Year, New Challenges

Just a short personal post.  Its a new year and I’m facing some new self created challenges.

     My first child arrived at the end of November to change my life and steal my heart. And although taking care of her and mom occupies a lot of my time. I still want to make time to get more posts up this year.

     So thanks for stopping by and I hope I have something to share this year that is helpful, entertaining and at least a bit educational.
