As long as the 72" screen is an actual monitor and not just displaying a 27inch 2540x1440 computer screen at 72 inches.

There are some 34 inch monitors that only display 2540x1280. That's not good. The widescreen monitor that is the cat's pajamas is the 3440x1440.

its is an actual monitor. All the CAD lines are nice and crisp.

Curious as what the display resolution is then.

Stijn!!
 

My current computer monitor is a 27 inch 3840x2160 but the icons and text get small. I normally run at 2048x1152 and for my needs is perfect. The desk area is maxed out with that size monitor. I have my printer next to it on the right and the 14 inch crummy old VGA monitor on the left. It will be replaced if I can get to buy some of the equipment at my old office. I had some 17 inch monitors that at least ran higher resolution. I can get a better monitor new pretty cheap but I would rather buy some of the stuff from the old company for even less.

Holy Cow, I sometimes surprise myself.

Running a Mac Mini for my web/mail/ftp server. My mail and ftp server are different from the canned Apple stuff. It didn't matter because the Apple Server Manager let you set specific IPs for specific services. After Apple discontinued the xServe Rack mount servers they made a Server App installable on any Mac for just $20.

The problem with the new Server App setup was there was no way to specify specific IP addresses for specific services. Instead when activated it gloomed up all the IP interfaces on the machine and no other host apps like mail or ftp would work.

After digging around found that you could edit the apache config file and virtual host config file to restrict the web based services of the new Server App to whatever IP or IPs you wanted. The only hicky was that any time there was an OS or Server App update you had to go back and re-edit the two config files. No big deal, there aren't that many updates.

Now this is where I surprised me.

The last upgrades changed the Service App stuff. After the update I edited the two config files and the ftp and mail worked, BUT the Apache web server now reported nobody had permissions to access any of the web sites.

Put the original apache config files back. The web server worked again, but mail and ftp had turned their services off. Manually turned them on and low and behold they stayed on. The server worked each with their own IP like before. Apple changed something because before this upgrade trying to turn the services on the other apps it put up an error saying the ports were in use.

Then, restarted the server. Dang it, every time the server restarted I had to log in and restart the mail and ftp services. Not a good scenario. Thought it was weird mail and ftp wouldn't run at startup, but would start manually after the system was up. It didn't do that before.

Figured it had to do with settings at system start up. Dug around and found that the launchd program that starts up all the apps manages and reserves all the IPs and ports. Apache reserved all the IPs before the mail/ftp apps. In the startup preference file for Apache found launchd uses a httpd config file instead of the apache config file. In the launchd preferences Apache says it uses the ports/IPs only as needed. That means the httpd config was glooming up all the IP addresses then released the IPs Apache wasn't actually using. That's why I could login then run the services after everything had started up.

Edited the httpd config file to only use the one IP I use for web services like I had done with the apache config before. Restarted the computer half expecting to get the permissions error for the web server again but Bam..web and mail and ftp are up and running. And without having to login and manually start mail and ftp. Restarted it again, and everything is still hunky dory.

Don't know what Apple did to cause the permissions errors on the web server with the apache config files set to listen on a specific IP on port 80, or why it is using a different config file for initial startup. All I know is that it now works!

Am I a geek or what?

Fer sure a nerdy geek.

I am At the cars in the morning car show and Le Mans watch party.

One of the very first 930 Turbo factory slant nose is here. 1982 Euro car. It is one of 10 made and the only all original one.

I had enough of the group watch at the dealership so I bailed and came home. I ate the free lunch and had fun chatting. The dealership had a jeopardy like contest on Porsche trivia and Le Mans trivia. I won two of the questions and quit to let others play. One of the Porsche trivia for 500 was easy for me and I won a free oil change. The other question was for 400 and it was a $50 gift certificate at the parts counter. I got two oil filters and the plug for the Macan. So we are set for a while. The Macan only has 1450 miles and the first service is not until 5,000 miles or 12 months. It will be the 12 months change.

Sounds like fun glen! I don't know if our local dealer is doing that but I won't have time to go. :(

Sid, there was a change in management at the dealer and suddenly they are trying to support the club. Its a nice change.

Get back to work Sid! ;)

Not working today. At swimming with 1 kid now, heading to indoor soccer with the other after this, then a BBQ with Thuy's family.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise.

At 5am I call BS!

Wow, I must be a genius. ;)

It was HOT yesterday high 90s and full sun. Today is cloudy and cool. Mid 70s. Much better weather to mow the yard. It is mowed and edged and I tinkered on the sprinkler system. The sprinkler is doing a full run and it is dry here. We keep just missing the rain. East west north and south of us have had rain. We are in the donut hole and the rain just goes around us. The good news is the lakes are full from the rain in the north down the rivers.

Back to watching the Le Mans race. I have 6 hours to go.

Oil changed, new front rotors and pads on Ellen's Passat.
Why oh why don't they use a spin on oil filter:mad:

105 today, 120 later this week. Of course the start cap that I put on our ac last month has gone again. Suspecting that was just bandaid on a failing compressor. :(

Yep, replaced my cap just before replacing my whole HVAC unit.
The new one had a sealed fan on the outdoor coils and had to be replaced at 5 years. Easy, but arg only 5 years!

Did only pay $2100 for a 2 ton unit, installed. Gave me a good deal because he started on a Friday before Memorial Day Weekend.
He made a couple of comments about this job was going to eat into his going fishing over Memorial Weekend.
The temps were in the low 70's, so before noon I told him to get out of here and don't come back until Tuesday unless the fish aren't biting.
When he presented the bill it was much less than he originally quoted. Said he really appreciated going fishing.
Did some Googling and couldn't find the unit he put in for less than his total bill including the install.

Happy Fathers' Day to all the dads, step-dads, pseudo-dads, and never-dads! SmileWavy

We went for a drive this afternoon in the 964 plain white wrapper and managed to find a few twisties.

Sid, I hope you get the AC repaired asap. It sounds like it's too damn hot to go without. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...amingdevil.gifhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...s/fork_off.gifhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/burn.gifhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/burn.gif

Good Morning.

I'm awake, I'm Awake. Well, think I'm awake anyway. Must be Monday, hear the trash truck dumping the bins.

The benz uses a cartridge filter, but it's pretty convenient. It's located right up top, you just have to be gentle getting it past a vacuum hose cluster.

Looking at getting the AC in the benz running. Looks like I can get compressor/drier/exp valve for a hair over $200 Figure I need to get a seal/o-ring kit, probably do new hi/lo valve stems and some AC flush....then the fun of chasing down R12...hopefully for less than $40 per bottle. I'm hopeful that I can get this done for about $400.

Morning all. Looks like I'm stuck going to parade or stuck for the bill. They won't even talk about a late refund due to the circumstances. Based on that oops I forgot to mail in my dues for the year.
