This is my list of miscellaneous computer bits and bobs that I have. Things
that don't quite need their own page.
Tawil-at-umr: Gateway to Madness
Duties: Router
Description:
This is my Netgear router. Nothing much there, just your basic router with
wireless (802.11g). I should replace this with a more geeky/robust router/
firewall, but I'm more than mildly lazy, and it works. If it's not broke,
etc, etc.
Hardware Stats:
- Netgear WGR614v6 router
Cephalopod: Mp3s and tentacles
Duties: Mp3 Player
Description:
This is my Creative Nomad Zen Xtra mp3 player. Not as fancy as an Ipod, but
not as costly either. This carries mostly music, a few audio books.
Currently I have about 2000 mp3s on it, using about half the space. Mostly
I use it for music while I'm driving, more portable uses are covered by
the other mp3 player.
Hardware Stats:
- 30 gig hard drive
Pseudopod: This Pseudopod's made for walking...
Duties: Mp3 Player
Description:
Pseudopod is my SanDisk MP3/WMA Player. Much smaller and lighter (and cheaper)
than Cephalopod, so I use it to store audiobooks when I'm out walking. It's
very nifty, except for a weird issue with Windows XP. For some reason XP
doesn't see it as a valid device, however Linux likes it just fine. So
it gets mp3s via Shub-Internet.
Oh well, whatever works. It also can act as a voice recorder, but I haven't
tried to do anything with that yet.
Hardware Stats:
- 512 meg flash drive
Alhazred: The Mad Printer
Duties: Printer
Description:
This is the first printer I've owned since I had a dot matrix printer with
my Apple IIC during Jr high though college. It's your basic inkjet printer,
does everything I need out of a printer so far. Named after the Mad Arab,
Abdul Alhazred, it's currently not working due to ink problems, and the fact
that Ubuntu and Lexmark do not play well together.
Hardware Stats:
- Lexmark Z645 inkjet printer.
