Technical Musings: ObSrv: No Longer For Sale
http://techmusings.blogspot.com/2014/02/obsrv-no-longer-for-sale_24.html
Monday, February 24, 2014. ObSrv: No Longer For Sale. Thank you for the emails of support and kind donations. After a few minor changes and exchanges with Google I have managed to rectify the problem relating to inappropriate images on the detail pages. Because of your kind support, and the resolution of issues with Google, I’ve changed my mind and decided not to sell ObSrv. I plan to keep it running indefinitely. If you have any issues, or need support, please leave a message or contact me at:.

Technical Musings: DNS323 Formatting “stuck” at 94%
http://techmusings.blogspot.com/2013/12/dns323-formatting-stuck-at-94.html
Thursday, December 05, 2013. DNS323 Formatting “stuck” at 94%. Is a network storage device that takes two SATA disk drives, plugs into your local network, and acts as a file server for media and documents. We’ve had one for the last 5 years, and it has served us very well. It’s quick, reliable and easy to use. We had two 1TB Western Digital “Caviar” drives installed. When I booted up the unit with the new drive, the web interface told me it found the new drive, and was it ok to format it? If you don...

Technical Musings: March 2012
http://techmusings.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 12, 2012. Windows Home Server 2011. Incidentally, the OS only formatted up a 2GB partition on the 3GB drive, leaving a separate 1TB partition unused. I formatted this up later and added it to the pool. I encountered several problems, but have overcome them all, and am very happy with the result. 1 WHS provided Drive Extender Technology, but WHS2011 does not. This feature was dropped from WHS2011. I got around this problem by installing DriveBender. 2 Disk Errors caused backups to fail.

Friday, January 30, 2015. Enhancements to DIY iGoogle start page. I’ve upgraded the DIY “iGoogle” start page. You can see the latest version here: http:/ nbe.me/demo.

The major enhancement is that you can now embed html into the page – which makes it easy to add Youtube videos, or iFrame widgets. Posted by Neil Ennis.

Tuesday, June 18, 2013. ObSrv Bug Fix – Please read. I’ve fixed a bug with ObSrv that was causing empty image feeds to appear. There is a long term problem that we need to address, and I need your help to sort it out. The problem is that Google is limiting the number of image searches that ObSrv can do to 100 per day. The problem is that once we exceed this limit, no images are returned and you get a blank feed. But eventually they’ll start blocking excessive image searches as well. This way, any ObSrv f...

Tuesday, January 28, 2014. ObSrvcom is for sale. Is a web service which provides image feeds for any subject you like. The content is updated hourly, allowing you to provide high-quality, relevant graphics for any website, or feed reader. I’ve been able to maintain this site and host it because of the modest income stream I derive from Google ads that appear on the info pages that are displayed when a website visitor clicks on an image. This has been great because:. So I have decided to sell it. If you ...

Thursday, October 24, 2013. DIY Replacement for iGoogle. Will be gone at the end of this month. I love iGoogle. It was free, convenient, and worked well. But because it was provided free by Google, it’s their right to pull the pin on it if they want to. This event made me realize that any free service online may be cancelled. So if you don’t want the inconvenience of losing a free service that you love, you’re best off doing it yourself. 1 Go to https:/ code.google.com/apis/console. 8 Replace the red key...
