So I'm attempting to build a linux media server and so far it's been pretty painful. The goals are to have it able to stream media to a variety of clients, including Pc's and hopefully my xbox 360, share files securely, and be accesible from outside the LAN. To expand this I would like to at the very least password protect everything as it's getting dumped into a University LAN environment.
Share Folder from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 10.04 Guest with Virtual Box
This is how I shared a folder from a Windows 7 host to a Ubuntu 10.04 guest. This is great for my overall goal of running a Virtual Ubuntu Server on my Windows desktop for FTP, DLNA, HTTP, and whatever else I find handy.
Wind Mobile/Telus/Bell/Rogers Phone support
With Wind Mobile now available and covering some of the Vancouver area I'm looking for an awesome android phone to work with their network(1700mhz), however I also need it to work on Telus/Bell/Rogers
(850/900/1900/2100mhz I believe)as during summer semester I will be out of their coverage and need to swap sims. So far the uberphones to contend with seem to be a Motorola Droid X, Motorola Droid 2, or a Samsung Galaxy S. Hopefully there will be a few more phones out by the time September rolls around and I can choose from. The other thing to contend with is making sure the phones support all the carrier frequencies.

1996 BMW 328i E36 Rear Wheel Bearing How to
So I just replaced the wheel bearing on the driver side of my car, having replaced the passenger side about a month ago, and the road noise I had before is completely gone. I figured if one was worn out they both would be, especially considering the mileage. So this is how everything kinda went, and apologies for lack of pictures, didn't have a memory card but I'll try to get some from the internet to illustrate along the way, but this isn't an easy repair. Also everything here is referencing from the driver side so if you doing the passenger side some things will have to be reversed, and there may be other slight variations.
1996 BMW 328i E36 Sunroof repair
So after buying a used BMW 328i, I have at this point replaced the automatic transmission (Bavarian Auto Recylcing), a wheel bearing (Pelican Parts), a few odds and ends, and now it's onto the sunroof repair. Luckily for me their is a great guide at BimmerDIY.Com. Once I get the rest of the pieces from Pelican Parts I will take photos and make a new guide up as I noticed a few things along the way that might help a less technical person or on the diagnosis side of things.
