Do you like Wall-E? Of course you do – we all do! This little game controller connects to your television using a couple of cables. Join Wall-E and Eve on this amazing adventure!

Why am I playing this instead of being on the Internet? Well, I was in a hotel. We all know the type of luck I have with hotel Internet connections. So I decided to check out what’s what in my hotel room, and discovered this awesome little game gadget.

What’s The Best Network Manging Tool?

svtv — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:18:00 +0000

I know many of you out there have to manage a network. The folks over at PacketTrap have been instrumental in helping our community grow. They’ve now come out with Perspective – an excellent tool to help manage your network! Brian and AK from PacketTrap came to visit via Skype, in order to help me explain to all of you what PacketTrap Perspective can do for you! Monitor performance for routers, hubs, switches, servers, and applications in real-time – no matter the platform. Yeah, you can use this Windows tool to watch your Macs or Linux boxes! Plus, it’ll watch the health of your VMware servers (and guest Virtual Machines running on ‘em). And just in case you hate being tied to one machine, or if you have more than one person who might need to access this data, an unlimited amount of users can connect to Perspective via a thin client or Web browser (which means, you can access statistics FROM your Mac or Linux). There’s advanced email and SMS alerts for devices, too.

Capture traffic data for any device on the network to boot. You can see all of the web sites that are being served at your home or company. You can see who is loading what site! You can even see what impact this surfing is having on your bandwidth. Perspective will show you who is clogging up your network, as well as how they’re doing it. There’s a list of different tools and reports you can make use of.

You can view and manage every aspect of what’s going on within the network. I have tried so many network scan tools in the past, and haven’t had much luck. Perspective is very intuitive, and easy to set up (even for geeks like me). I’m not used to seeing a lot of these enterprise-class tools work so quickly, right out of the box. It’s definitely worth a look for network admins who haven’t found what they’ve been looking for as of yet. Perspective auto-discovers system resources and their metrics, including: hardware, operating systems, virtualization, databases, middleware, applications, and services.

Give it a shot – and that’s the link to use.

How To Send Big Files Over The Internet

svtv — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:14:13 +0000

I love my Dad, but we have the same argument every week on the phone. He wants to attach videos through email, even though they’re huge. I keep trying to tell him not to. Sending large files through email is considered to be bad netiquette! But, of course, there are times when you may need to send things like a PowerPoint presentation or other large file via email. What do you use to make this easier?

Filemail allows you to send up to 2GB of files at a time through your email. All you have to do is upload your files directly to Filemail. They are stored on servers located in either San Diego, or Norway. An email is sent to your recipient(s), telling them they have files ready to download. There is a clickable link within the email. Once they click the link, they are taken directly to the download page that was created when you uploaded the files. After a certain number of days, the files are deleted off of the Filemail servers.

You don’t even have to register, or pay anything! If you have to send a file over about 5MB, then you need to use this service. They even have a corporate level, for large companies who need to send large files. If you sign up for a corporate account, you will have a dedicated corporate upload box.

Don’t send any more large files! Now I can stop having this argument with my Dad!

Scamming Is Not Good

svtv — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 09:54:04 +0000

Scams Are sonething That Happen alot of people, Infact One of My Relitive Was Nerly Conned Out of $78.99 Because The Guy Was Trying To Sell Him a Membership o a Fake Club, So Here is The Most Recent Which Was Actually Hit By My Local Hotel Actually. So It Starts Off When Some Guys Where Checking Into the Hotel Then The Consererch Put There bags with all the other bags. So They Pretend They Got The Wrong Place and As The Bags Where In The Room Another Guy Was Hid In The Suitcase Needless To Say That The Other Bag Was Weighed In By Bricks and the guy in the bag was stealing people’s stuff and putting them in the bag Which was Weighed In By Bricks. Now This Scam Has Hapend and It Happens Mostly In Scandanavia, Infact What They Would Do Is Hide Somone in a case then while everybody was on the bus He Would Get To Work On Stealing Everybody Luggage Until It Was The Last Stop.

So you should always Check You Luggage To Ensure That It Is As Safe As Possible and If Not Just Carry It Yourself.

How Do You Add Files On The iPhone?

svtv — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 21:44:29 +0000

So you might have an iPod or an iPhone that has all this space. Maybe you aren’t filling it with Apps or pictures. Even with your media, you may still have space to spare. What if you could put files on your iPhone without having to use iTunes? Air Sharing allows you to do just that, for only $7.00 in the App Store.

Air Sharing allows users to mount their iPhone or iPod touch as a wireless hard drive, which allows you to drag files between your computer and iPhone or touch. It offers support for a wide range of documents to include iWork, Office, PDF, HTML, RTF, Plain Text and many more. In addition it also works with Mac (Tiger and Leopard), Windows (XP and Vista) and even GNOME and KDE on the Linux side.

Features include:

Familiar Finder-like file browser.

Prominent display of available space.

Use of Bonjour and WebDAV (like iDisk) for easy connection.

Extensive in-line Help with detailed, simple instructions.

Controls to prevent, or to delay, iPhone auto-lock.

Mac OS X applications displayed with their own icons in file browser.

Color-coded formatting of source code files.

If you don’t already have Air Sharing… get it. It just works. It’s so simple, and even fun to use. How else could you easily view a .PDF or .DOC file right on your iPhone? You know the iPhone can read these file formats, so why hasn’t Apple made it easier to do than by receiving them as an email attachment? Two thumbs up for Air Share. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth.

Happy Apple IPhone, Brand New For March 2008.
