Another HackSphereLabs<\/a> post…<\/p>\n

What to say…what to say.\u00a0 It has been a busy week.\u00a0 Getting ready for my move to AZ and general travel requirements.\u00a0 Past that, getting general stuff done.\u00a0\u00a0 A lot of tasks completed and I am sure there will be many more.<\/p>\n

I have been looking into USB 3.0 vs eSATA for the below Blu-Ray stuff and I would have to say that USB 3.0 opens up some possibilities.\u00a0 Sure there is hotswap eSATA but USB is a bit better for portability.\u00a0 The faster speed really helps and I can, if I want, use 1 to 2 TB drives to backup to…with parity of course.\u00a0 (bit rot anyone?).\u00a0 It looks like the Chocolatey<\/a> project is making progress.\u00a0 Hopefully I can use it soon to manage all this Windows machines that I need to update.<\/p>\n

Work is going to get busy, really soon.\u00a0 We have to move the project too.<\/p>\n

I have been messing with the tools to build an Archlinux live CD…I want to start making a custom live CD for my needs and hopefully others.\u00a0 I discovered that parted magic is no longer free.\u00a0 This sucks as it is a good product…it looks that the guy has even raised his prices.\u00a0 I was just looking into it because it has nwipe installed, but so does system rescue disk…so whatever.\u00a0 Gparted here I come…I may still purchase a copy.<\/p>\n

Blu-Ray
\n<\/strong>I have been doing some research<\/a> on Blue-Ray because I am about to purchase a Blu-ray drive.\u00a0 So confusing, not really confusing…but a decent amount of information from competing copy protections and formats.\u00a0 The standard stuff, firmware to unlock regions along with a neat riplock protection that on some drives will slow down the read of a video disc.\u00a0 How nice huh?<\/p>\n

Take a look at some of the notes on the page if you are interested.<\/p>\n

External Drive Box
\n<\/strong>Coming from my look into blu-ray I have decided that it would be best to get a full size drive.\u00a0 There is more support for them overall, they are faster, etc.\u00a0 I was looking for an in expensive esata drive case and I cannot find much in the optical drive range.\u00a0 40$ for the cheapest and $84 dollars for the good stuff.<\/p>\n

What a joke…I just want a metal box, power supply and a e-sata cable.\u00a0 No circuits.\u00a0 (Except in the power supply).\u00a0 I am looking into building my own here:\u00a0 http:\/\/wiki.hackspherelabs.com\/index.php?title=Optical_Drive_Box<\/p>\n

Looks like I am going to get WH16NS40<\/a> and a Vantec NST-530S3-BK<\/a>.\u00a0 After talking to the folks over at Vantec all I have to do is take out the USB to SATA PCB bridge and put a SATA to eSATA cable in<\/a>.\u00a0 Really.\u00a0 Simple.\u00a0 It will save me over 40$ on an enclosure.\u00a0 The only USB 3.0 enclosure I can find, where I can do the same thing, and still have USB 3.0 is the $83 Addonics enclosure<\/a> SESU3CS.\u00a0 It is nice, but too much.<\/p>\n

The next thing I need to figure out is media.<\/p>\n

Trailblazer
\n<\/strong>I changed a fuel pressure regulator in the Trailblazer and tightened up some pre vacuum lines that come off the resonator box and head to the regulator and crankcase….night and day.\u00a0 I think it has also solved my bucking and chugging with regard to cruise control.\u00a0 I have to update the post at gmtnation and a few other places.<\/p>\n
