Coatezy.co.uk – Welcome To My Place

I have decided to give twitter a go! I have had a Twitter account for some time now but never really used it much… So I’m going to make the effort now. My user name is CoatezyUK you can also find a follow me button in the side bar —-> Check it out! I have made a coatezy.co.uk theme for it to!

Thought I would let you guys know about a weekly Tech show/podcast that I have been watching on a weekly basis for quite some time now!

Tekzilla is a show part of the Revision3 network. It’s hosted by Patrick Norton and Veronica Belmont. It’s another great tech show that delivers excellent content for tech fans, reviewing gadgets, websites, and hardware. I love their reviews and picks of the week, which I find fairly interesting because it’s usually something unknown. They answer fan questions and give splendid answers. Nothing says Tekzilla like two geeks who love what they do and want to share it with their audience.

Every so often, they have specials with building a home media center, or building gaming machines. They give tips every weekday called Tekzilla Daily tip, which you can find on their website. What makes this show different from other tech shows is that they don’t want to cover every tech story, just the ones about cool gadgets or announcements. They really love to get down to the hardware specs and talk about it.

Watch Tekzilla every week or subscribe to them on iTunes.

Just purchased domain name www.coatezy.com. The domain will point to www.coatezy.co.uk but I though I would get my hands on it before someone else does.. I like being the “Main” Coatezy out there on the www.

I have been running an old dual core machine for the past couple of months as a Windows Home Server.. It was running brilliantly.. Did everything I need and when connected with a gigabit switch, data transfer was lightning fast! But there was just one problem.. The server sits in my bed room and it was just TOO LOUD!!! So I decided to give up on the Windows Home Server approach and buy myself a Network attached storage device (NAS). After a lot of debating I purchased a Synology DS409 from my local Novatech store.. I threw in two Western Digital WD7500AAKS 750gb (which I previously had in my windows home server) and set them up in RAID 0.. In the near future I am planning to max out the DS409’s supported capacity of 8tb with 4x 2tb drives.

I have been running the NAS for just under a month now and I can honestly say it has been one of the best purchases that I have made in quite some time. Not only does it do its primary job brilliantly and connects to both my Windows 7 and Linux machine running Ubuntu 9.10 seamlessly, it also has many other fantastic functions such as; Acting as a web server supporting MYSQL and PHP, online photo gallery, online music player and file manager, torrent, http and ftp downloader, IP camera surveillance centre supporting up to 8 cameras, Itunes and DNLA media server and printer server.. And these are only some of its fucntions which can all be managed via it very simple but pretty AJAX web based manager which again can be accessed from the outside world via https if required.

I don’t have much time to keep my blog/site updated so I thought I would give the wordpress app a go on my iPhone. This is my first post and it seems pretty good. Very simple to setup and even easier to post.

I have been waiting patiently for Apple to reveal a new version of the Iphone and on the 08/06/09 thats what they did. So on Sunday the 14th of June I placed the order for a 16gb Iphone 3G S.  I recieved the phone on the release date (19/06/09) and so far im loving it! Completely different user experience to the Symbian Handsets that I have become used to. The device is far quicker and a lot more refined in the looks departmernt. The massive selection of free and low cost Apps from the Itunes App store is also a bonus. I am now waiting for my Bodyguardz  screen and back protector (the phone wont be leaving the house without it!  )

Just uploaded some pictures from our holiday to Zante and also some from our lovely trip to Bristol Zoo Check out Alexander the Meerket!

I’m off to Zante in two days time with my girlfriend. I can’t wait to go now!! Going to try and take plenty of photo’s so check back within the next week or so! I will try and upload them asap.

Stumbled across another web designers blog the other day.. www.instantshift.com. Loads of interesting articles to read on web design, photography and blogging etc. Also a lot of showcases (a lot include free resources such as Fonts, Icons and Vectors etc). Really worth a look! I find I learn a lot from these blogs.
