    Note: If you're looking for the FreeMotion AD200 or AD200B calibration (zero reset) procedures, skip to the bottom.


    I was looking at an inexpensive "whole family" bike for Zwift. Something that would be accurate, easily adjustable and would accommodate anyone hopping on and riding within seconds. I knew several people in my family would use Zwift if ...

    I see a lot of posts on https://ipcamtalk.com/ saying Blue Iris shouldn't run on a VM. I wanted to share in-depth technical details about my own experience so that others can make an informed decision vs being afraid. Usually when someone has trouble with VMs, it's because they use an old crappy machine and expect great performance. Or they buy a "server" on ebay that's out of date and painfully slow. Your VM host needs to be just as fast as if you were building a dedicated machine. Looking at the Passmark specs for the specific CPU will give you an indication of of how well the CPU will perform.

    The other day I noticed my Shark Ion Robot would run for a few minutes and then stop. Looking at my app, it had been doing that for awhile. The message gave an informative "Jaws brushroll got stuck while trying to clean. Remove any debris from around the brushroll." ...

    There are many articles with the infamous VMWare "No space left on device" message. Most suggest installing the tools VIB separately, or before the upgrade. While that did work for me on one host, it did not for another. I thought I would let you in on ...

    Three years ago I wrote the article Building a multi-room networked home audio solution for FREE, Part 1 and never wrote part 2, where I promised I would show everyone how to put together a professional grade system for around $1,000. To date part 1 has been the most popular home network article on this site with over 45,000 views (next to the random article I wrote on how to remove a broken dipstick, which has over 73,000 views).

    A few things have changed in those 3 years, inflation happens you know, but prices are still close to the same. There are more options now however, which I'll highlight as we go. My home has an accessible crawlspace which made running speaker wire insanely easy. Without that you may need to get creative, this article is going to assume you have the ability to at least run a little wire.

    Pogoplug VAMP



    I'm re-writing this article simply because the Vortexbox site was hacked and this excellent information in the original Logitech Squeezebox replacement for under $30 was lost. I did find some excellent writeups such as Turning a Pogoplug in to a Music Player, however every site I found was missing something and sent me digging. This hopefully can be a complete guide for anyone late to the VAMP game. Note that I simply regurgitate the information and the true geniuses have done all the work before me.
