		<title>Phone on the 900MHz Band</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been putting together plans to get G-NET2 working &#8212; a wireless data link between my house and my friend&#8217;s house 6-7 miles away. I tried a few different antenna designs to work with WaveLAN cards and no luck yet! Each antenna design was a learning experience &#8212; after making each antenna, I&#8217;d review what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roberts 808D 8-Track Capacitor List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My brother is a 1970s fanatic. When he was an undergrad, he had a disco ball in his dorm room and many 8-tracks to go along with it. For his birthday a couple of years ago, I decided to get him a hi-fi stereo component 8-track player/recorder. Now that my brother had an 8-track player [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bring Back Citizens Band!  (Or, CB + Jeep = Channel 4)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I miss the days of Citizens Band (CB) radio &#8212; back in the 1970s and 1980s, the &#8220;Golden Age of CB&#8221; &#8212; where everyone seemed to have a CB. I guess CB could be compared to a cross between Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and push-to-talk (PTT) cell phones today. There is something else, though, that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Installing UT2004 Special Edition (DVD) in Debian Sarge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I think it&#8217;s gonna be an UNREAL night!&#8221; I am an advocate for excellent games that don&#8217;t need the latest and greatest hardware to run. More specifically, a fun, networked first person shooter that can run on an Athlon with 256MB of RAM! Unreal Tournament 2004 is one of those few games. A few years [...]]]></description>

		<title>Billboard Time Capsule</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A coworker of mine told me about a billboard time capsule, so to speak, that is in an adjoining building to our office. The billboard had been in a hallway that had been locked off to card key access for a long time. A few years ago, that hallway was opened up for access to [...]]]></description>

		<title>G-NET (The Grange Hall Network)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been told I should write some &#8220;less tech, more anecdotal&#8221; posts. (Mostly by friends who are tired of reading posts like how to build a Commodore 64 RS-232 interface.) OK. So, in that particular post, I referred to a null modem network I designed called G-NET. G-NET was the answer to our frustrations with [...]]]></description>

		<title>RS-232 Interface for the Commodore 64</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been interested in computer mediated communication. When I was an undergraduate and should&#8217;ve been studying, I wrote a terminal program in PASCAL to get two XT clones to communicate to each other. This led to the creation of G-NET in 1992 (short for Grange Network, as I lived in Grange Hall at UConn). [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creating a Daemon in Debian Linux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There have been plenty of times where I want to implement a simple daemon in Debian Linux. I know, I know&#8230; I could just install a Debian package and have the daemon created for me (if it&#8217;s included). There are times, though, where I want to compile the latest version of an application (like Asterisk). [...]]]></description>

		<title>ddclient and a Linksys Router</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Honestly, where would rogue dynamic DNS servers be without a proper DDNS client to point users to? ddclient is an excellent DDNS client for Linux users who need to update their DNS name whenever their IP changes. Unfortunately, ddclient doesn&#8217;t seem to work &#8220;out of the box&#8221; when used behind a Linksys firewall. When ddclient [...]]]></description>

		<title>Daimonin and Mac OS X 10.3.9</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, Matt (of UConn dotmatt fame) has convinced us at work to jump on his Daimonin server. Daimonin is a free MMORPG client and server program that is based on the Crossfire MMORPG. I remember playing Crossfire once a few years back, but wasn&#8217;t able to devote the time needed to get deep into that [...]]]></description>

		<title>C64 Drive Emulation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a few C64 drive emulators available that allow your PC&#8217;s hard drive to be available to a Commodore 64. Usually, you can either assign .D64 disk images or a directory to a device number. I would like to set up a C64 BBS connected to the Internet, also known as a &#8220;TelBBS.&#8221; The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reviving a Radio Shack Digital Multimeter</title>

If you are looking for a decent DMM that you don&#8217;t want to spend a lot of money on because you sometimes fry them, Radio Shack is the way to go. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building the Cheap 915MHz Yagi Antenna</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post, I discussed the work Doug and I did, attempting to build some cheap 915MHz yagi antennas. Based on our tests, I was able to design a more accurate 915MHz yagi. Instead of using PVC tubing for the boom, I changed the material to a 3.8cm x 1.9cm (1.5&#8243; x 0.75&#8243;) wood [...]]]></description>
