Modbook and Computer woes

So my current Macbook Pro, an A1211 build is starting to get kinda old. Part of that is my fault however. The display bezel is cracking on either side of the screen, and I of course don’t have the 3 GB RAM upgrade. One thing I was considering doing in addition to replacing the bezel, is upgrading the Macbook Pro’s screen following this guide. However I’m also debating on if it’s possible to install a touch screen instead…

Back In Business

Well after much being quiet and brooding quietly in the background I found an interesting project by Development Seed. One of the biggest things I remember when working on projects in Capital’s Technology Department is the desire to elevate privileges and worked with the highest hierarchy of the game that I could. This and the desire

Well having gotten around since then and learning of certain tools including a JavaScript Terminal known as MindTerm. If a signed version could be created effectively it could be used over the web as many universities have demonstrated. Though they require a commercial license for such a large volume as a school, it would be worth it after someone (for personal use) managed to learn to create a self-signed certificate. And either way just the use of a Terminal that isn’t subject to a computer’s permissions is kinda nice. It’d allow students to play with SSH on a local level with their server on a stick, and is system independent thanks to Java. (unless of course Java is not installed on the system, but that’s not the norm)

Now that I see the potential for making a powerful tool set for a web environment, in a production environment with limited permissions I’m going to go through with it and see what comes of it. Another nice thing to do might be to set up Virtual Box images for various distros of Linux. Those would be interesting projects to provide for Capital and other educational institutions that would be interested.

We’ll have to wait and see where this goes.
