I started ordering the parts for my NAS build. You can follow the process as I put it together….or not. You know me, I don’t really care either way. This crap just occupies my brain.

NAS Build

I have a substantial network system for my house.  From dual Xeon workstations, MAC’s, PC’s, managed switches, over 50 TB of NAS based storage, CNC based machine toolsHaving some background in systems administration I tend to tinker around and seem to be updating constantly.  I like to make things and figure out how to do it. Sometimes I think I do it just as an exercise for my brain.

The biggest issue I deal with is the cost of equipment and software. I came from large corporations and led development projects so playing with the latest greatest was the norm. Now that I am required to pay for it all my focus shifted to open source and community driven designs and applications….

I have a pretty good network in my home and am constantly updating it. Nerding.

It’s what I like to do.

Here’s a link to one of my current projects:
