EdSolio

Some of you may know by my annoying re-tweeting of @edsolio that I’m 1/2 (the unproductive half, may I add) of EdSolio - an education portfolio software company. My good friend Peter French and I finally got to work together on this project- the first time since our work together at USF. The reason I’m posting this is that the blog for EdSolio is pretty active right now as we announce new features and show off each and every piece of technology EdSolio is built on. I want to invite you to come join the discussion!

NetflixFinds

Since 2009 I’ve ran a little message board online that let a select group of people share their favorite music, and recently one of the members wanted to share his Netflix streaming finds. His basic premise was this: “Netflix Streaming is awesome, so many devices, but never has the movie you actually want, so how about we make a list of stuff we’ve found that they do have that we think is good, so people can add it to their instant que”

As such, www.netflixfinds.com was born. Sign up, share!

Yes. I ripped How To Train Your Dragon, with 6 channel DTS sound- 3 Front, 2 Rear and LFE with 1920×816 Scope resolution onto my computer and then streamed it across my network to the PS3. It was nearly flawless. There was possibly a few glitched frames, but overall, no issues- I was very happy to watch a full length feature film in the Theater that wasn’t on a disc.

The Battle Ends

Well, besides some junk plugging up my pump earlier this spring I’ve been water free in my basement with no end to the dry in sight. I’ve got the whole setup pretty optimized and my sump pump is running less and less as we get more than 2 days without rain in the forecast. My de-watering project has turned out excellently and I am now ready to put some flooring down without hesitation. To do yet includes a batter backed up pump and a cover over the pit to avoid previously mentioned issues. I’d also like to change where the pump discharges during the winter as it causes air sucking noise upstairs. Outside, the discharge is fine but I would like to upgrade it to 1.5 inch PVC pipe and run it into some sort of underground distribution vs just onto the yard.
