That biquad primestar dish antenna works pretty good. I used a gladware sandwich container for a radome. http://www.trevormar....com/biquad.htm Very simple and compact Bi-quad design
I've also built a "toothpick" omni which worked very well. Looked like a grappling hook.
I'm not a fan of the pringles cantennas, but a Malibu rum can works pretty well.
Ahh!! I hadn't noticed that. This should fix it. They're a couple foam "shocks" from an external hard drive enclosure kit. Though anything will work. You could even use the two feet you had to take off to get to the screws in the pineapple! They'll need to be stacked though, so you'll need all four. A piece of 1/4" weather striping will probably work as well. Should be squishy enough to still allow the top to go back on.
Well if you actually have scp on your windows box(it's not installed from the factory), the command would be identical from a linux box.
scp files root@172.16.42.1:/www
You'll probably need a usb Ethernet adapter as well. Though running from a virtual machine is adding a second layer of complexity, why not just run it from the host?
Cat-5 and cat-6 connectors are identical, at least every one I've installed are. You sure it's really a cat-6 cable?
It doesn't have these ends does it?
The battery packs have the protection circuit in them.
This is the inside of a Powerbook G4 battery. The circuit is in the upper right of the pack. There's also a thermister sitting between a couple of the cells for overheat protection.
The NYAN cat works on the IV. It's hosted on my /www folder. I'll play around with it tonight when I get home to see if I can swap out the gif for a jpeg.
