As my knowledge of computers and networks need to evolve for both school and work, I have created a small home network and lab setup both for practicing on and for running applications around my residence.

Currently I have several systems in place and more planned to be setup over the next few months. Today I spent about 3 hours setting up and tweaking a Plex media server ( https://www.plex.tv/ ) to watch content I have acquired over the years. Although still not perfect, I feel that Plex feels a gap in the streaming media market, that being if you already have the media, why do you need to pay someone else to stream it to you?

With more and more media companies setting up streaming services, I think we will see a return to higher content piracy levels again as users cannot afford to pay each individual company its fee instead of paying one fee to a central content distributor like Netflix or Amazon. Big media conglomerates seem to miss the overall scheme in their attempts to capitalize on the “next trend”.

Waking the long dormant dead.

Sometimes things just get away from you, you lose interest, or motivation to do things you wanted to do. That is what has happened to this website and blog. I was busy with other things in my life, and creating content for my online presence was not part of it.

Now, as all things do, I have regained both the times and interest to start on this again.

My plan for the future of the site is simple, get the content back, add the new interests and new content, bring back the joy I have left behind in creating and sharing information and to hopefully leave something useful to others down the road.

After a few years of neglecting the website, I have made a new years resolution to try and bring it back, we will see how long lasts, this time.  First of the updates was a new theme, followed by replacing the old gallery software ( still can be reached at http://sunaj-home.org/photos/ ) and starting a new menu layout.  A few of the other changes I have in mind are to begin to upload or link to my drawings and CGI models.  HAM shack needs work as well.

Still trying to decide if I want to publish some of the android apps and Enlightenment apps to the ‘net.

Static pages structure in place.  Some rough pages have been added.

Hacked!

In late April, the site was hacked to add a script link to a russian trojan website.  Since I need to fix that, I decided that I would also update the site at that time.  Check back as I add the old content back to the new CMS.
