  • My Two Cents on Bitcoin

    My Two Cents on Bitcoin

    I first got into bitcoin at the end of March 2013 after news broke about the people of Cyprus putting their money in bitcoin at the threat of bank bailouts. Just the thought of that alone peaked my interest in bitcoin. If you knew your money wasn’t going to be worth shit how nice would it to be to be able to transfer the “wealth” to a different form of currency and wait for it to all blow over or just use that alternative money. I did hear about bitcoin before that but i guess i never really thought much of it. I guess it was chilling at like $34 before the Cyprus thing. Maybe I never thought it would be applied to the real world, it would be to hard to easily use.

    I hit the google searching everything i could find on bitcoin. Figured out it was pretty much to late in the game for me to get into mining. I just didn’t wanna invest into a couple grand worth of hardware and higher electric bills. So I thought I would just buy them bit by bit, ha ha. During my research into bitcoin I also learned you could play poker with bitcoins online. I was glad to hear that even though I don’t really trust gambling online. I would keep it small and i really wasn’t doing to bad. But enough with poker. Around about July of 2013 I had a little over 5 bitcoins and i think they were at about $95. I wasn’t doing much with them, just sitting on them and playing poker, hoping I would wake up one day and one bitcoin would be worth a million dollars. That summer though I lost my job and I slowly had to sell my bitcoins, then that one day kinda but not really came. Bitcoin hit $1,000. I remember being so mad that i just had 5 of these things. I could have really used that five grand at the time lol.

    Well anyways, things are better now and I have half of a bitcoin at this time. I’m still into bitcoin because I believe the world needs it. Anybody in the world can get a bitcoin wallet and send money to a bitcoin address and you don’t need an ID. I can send bitcoin to China to get my reseach chemicals instead of Western Union-ing American dollars in 4 different $900 sums, haha j/k. You know it only costs $14 to send money to China, it’s like that for a reason…Bitcoin helps put the power back in the hands of the people! and i’m out….*drops mic*

    Popcorn Time!

    popcorn

    I haven’t been blogging much so I thought I would take the time to write about Popcorn Time. Popcorn Time is an app available for windows, mac, and linux that allows you to stream movies from torrents! You can give it a try at getpopcornti.me I tried it out yesterday and was really impressed. It is in beta so im sure they will be making changes to it frequently.

  • Unlocking/Rooting Nexus 5 and Installing ClockworkMod Recovery

    Unlocking/Rooting Nexus 5 and Installing ClockworkMod Recovery

    Beanstalk ROM with Chaos Kernel on the Nexus 5 from marcelliotnet on Vimeo.

    Yesterday I picked up a Nexus 5 and while at work today, I rooted it, installed ClockworkMod recovery, and flashed it with the Beanstalk rom and Chaos kernel. So far i’m liking it, and i thought I would write a little something.

    !!This will wipe your phone!!

    First you will need to install the Nexus 5 drivers.

    Then all you need to do to unlock and root your phone, is to put your phone in fastboot mode and run the CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5 exploit. To put your phone in fastboot mode. You just need to power it off. Then while powered off hold down the down volume key and the power button at the same time. After in fastboot mode run the .bat file.

    That’s it! your phone now is unlocked and rooted. Now if you want to install custom roms, you will need to flash it with ClockworkMod.

    install the minimal_adb_fastboot to your computer. Then download the ClockworkMod recovery image. Place it in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot directory. Put your phone in fastboot mode again then run “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img” from the command prompt.

    Once you have the recovery flashed you can start downloading custom roms and kernels. Here is a Chaos Kernel for you to try. Chaos-Kernel_v8.1 I would recommend going to xda for downloading custom roms.

    Claude Vonstroke and Justin Martin 2012 Christmas Show

    So while searching the internets for torrents of Dirtybird tracks, I stumbled along this 2 hour long mp3 of when Claude and Justin took over for a Christmas show on Pete Tong’s show at BBC radio 1 last year. Since it’s that time of year again I thought I would post it here to share with all. Ho, Ho, Ho.

  • How to Tweet Instagram Photos

    How to Tweet Instagram Photos

    If you follow me on Twitter you might have noticed Instagram pictures in my Twitter feed. This is possible with ifttt.com. It’s a site were you make “recipes”. Like in this example if I post a photo to Tumblr it posts to my Twitter. If you have a Tumblr you might want to start another one just for this. I didn’t have a Tumblr before this, so all I use it for is getting Instagrams to my Twitter.

    Screenshot from 2013-10-19 10:15:45

    After you sign up for an account with ifttt.com you can either create the same recipes as in the screenshot or search for it. You have to authorize both your Tumblr and Twitter accounts. Then in Instagram on your phone make sure you can post to your Tumblr account, and that’s it. Once you take and picture with Instagram and post it to Tumblr, Ifttt.com checks if any recipes have been matched then posts your Tumblr photo as a pic on twitter, not just as a link to instagram.

We were going to san luis, picking up two people, then driving to Mexicali, spending the night there before we make it to our destation of Rosarito just a little south of Tijuana along the coast.

    wp-admin 404 error after upgrading to 3.5.2

    A couple of days ago I upgraded my wordpress from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2. After the upgrade I wasn’t able to log back into the admin page. I just now got it back to working status. I found a post on the wordpress.org forum that helped me out. Thank you ahiddleston.

    Capture

    – V3.5.2 seemed to update okay but I was kicked out of the dashboard right after it finished patching

    – could not get back in

    – noticed the 404 URL string was referencing “wp-admin/upgrade.php” could not be found

    – copied in a new and fresh upgrade.php file

    – WordPress prompted that the DB was out of date and need patching

    – DB patched — everything working great again.

  • iOS 7 Beta

    iOS 7 Beta

    Installed iOS 7 Beta on my 4s today. It is a little buggy but I think im going keep using it. Some of the bugs I have noticed are: when opening apps they don’t line up with the screen until they fully open. Kik messenger won’t open. In instagram sometimes the pictures will go black in the news feed. The face on my snapchat icon is missing, weird, but it still works. For the most part it works fine. Hotspot works with usb tethering, the flashlight works, google voice, everything that really matters to me is functional.

    I really like the flat UI design, everyone is going with flat so why not apple. I just think flat looks cleaner and I guess so does everyone else. There really isn’t any new features that i have noticed, maybe i should read up on it instead of installing on my phone first :\ but there is a settings control menu you get to by sliding your finger from the bottom to the top. From there you can get to the volume, flashlight, clock, camera, etc. The color scheme changes with the color of your background. For instance if your background is blueish then buttons will be tented blue, if the background is red then the buttons will be tented red, kinda neato. The transitions from app to app and when an app opens is pretty cool yet pretty buggy. I’m sure it will all be running smooth when it is released to the public.

    You can install iOS7 beta pretty easily. If you don’t have developers account with apple you can find it on the torrent networks for you device. You will need to be on the latest iOS at first, then just connect your phone to your computer, open itunes, goto the phone section then shift-click on windows or alt-click on mac on the upgrade button and open the iOS7.ipsw file. I have posted a youtube video to follow if you don’t understand my very vague instructions.

  • My week so far with Office 365

    My week so far with Office 365

    Moved our mailboxes off exchange 2007 and into Microsoft’s 365 cloud. My boss hired “office 365 experts”. We have multiple email domains in our environment. During the migration some mailboxes synced with errors. We had to get all the sent mail from the old server for the users that still had old account info after the mx switch over. We also used Mail Exclaimer to auto create email signatures for our users, that stopped working, so I had to create them with transports rules. Shared mailboxes imported as user mailboxes. Ya, not a super smooth transition, but most of the mail is there, or the users think it’s all there…

    Before I noticed the shared mailbox import issue. The helpers i had already installed all the “shared mailboxes” as second accounts, which makes it harder to manage and takes up a license. The only way to switch user mailboxes to shared is with powershell.

    To install powershell and enable it to manage office 365 you will need Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell installed. That will require Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant, .NET Framework 3.5.1, and as well as PowerShell.

    The get the exchange cmdlets open up powershell and run these 5 commands:

    Import-Module MSOnline

    $O365Cred = Get-Credential

    $O365Session = New-PSSession –ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $O365Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

    Import-PSSession $O365Session

    Connect-MsolService –Credential $O365Cred

    After you get the exchange cmdlets installed run this to switch user mailboxes to shared one:

    Get-Mailbox -Identity [email protected] | Set-Mailbox -Type Shared

    You will probably have to do some permissions clean up. I noticed when you add full delegation to someones mailbox or to a shared mail box it automatically appear in there outlook. Changes also take a while to take affect. So far my over all experience with 365 is kinda negative, maybe it will change after i get used to it :\

    Finally got around to posting my Coachella adventure. I wasn’t even gonna go this year, but some of my best friends decided to go last minute, so I had to hit craigslist to find a ticket. I was lucky enough to find this chick that just got a job at Facebook and wasn’t able to go. I bought it from her for $280 🙂 I took Friday and Monday off and headed to Indio with my two roommates. The weekend was a blast, but how could it not be, right?! Here are some videos and pictures. The photos aren’t mine, videos are. Really mad at myself for not getting any footage of Major Lazer though.

  • Upgrade WordPress from 3.4.2 to 3.5.1

    Upgrade WordPress from 3.4.2 to 3.5.1

    Just upgraded then wrote this. Well I didn’t even know there was an update to 3.5 because usually the dashboard tells you. I guess there is no automatic upgrade. I downloaded the zip from wordpress, and extracted the files. Backed up everything, disabled all my plug-ins, then deleted everything in the root directory except wp-config.php and the wp-content folder. I copied everything over from the zip file except the wp-content folder, and after that I was pretty much done. Just navigated to marcelliot.net/wp-admin/upgrade.php and clicked upgrade. I logged in, enabled all my plug-ins and I was back up. It was pretty damn pain-free, probably took me longer to write this…

  • Backups to Freenas via rSync with DeltaCopy

    Backups to Freenas via rSync with DeltaCopy

    At my work we were backing up to a windows server with raid5 configured in the OS. The admin before me for some reason built a box with it’s purpose in mind for doing backups and it doesn’t have hardware raid?! Well I wanted a cooler way of doing backups besides using windows. I couldn’t get a raid controller so I would still have to setup raid with software. I downloaded Freenas, moved about 3.5 TB of data to a backup backup drive, and popped in the burnt ISO. After I setup three 3TB drives with ZFS, I had about 5.8TB of space to work with. I created a windows share for backups and setup rSync on the Freenas box. We have a windows 2008 box that is our file server (no surprise there, at least the raid5 is setup on controller instead of with the OS.) I downloaded DeltaCopy and setup the client part of the software. It schedules a task to run DeltaCopy and I have it configured to run every 2 hours. The first backup took about 3 days, but after that it seems like it takes 5 minutes, because of the way rSync works, or maybe it’s the workers at my work aren’t working cause the files never change.

  • Migrating Kayako Fusion From Windows to Ubuntu

    Migrating Kayako Fusion From Windows to Ubuntu

    I guess I was bored at work, but when I started at the place I work at now, they had Kayako Fusion installed on a WAMP box running XP sitting on a laptop at the desk I sit at. I built a Proxmox box the other day out of an Acer desktop and I thought “boy wouldn’t it be great if I could move Kayako off that stupid laptop and put it on a VM running Ubuntu?!” So I created a VM and installed Ubuntu, Apache, MySQL, PHP, and SSH. Installed MySQL workbench on my laptop and exported the Kayako database, then grabbed the Kayako web files.

    I wanted to have this system running on the least possible memory it could so I uninstalled the GUI from Ubuntu which also forced myself to learn Linux commands better, lol. I used Putty and Filezilla to administer the box. The whole process went pretty well. The only problems I ran into were there were cache files in one of the web files directories that were moved over that need to be deleted. PHP needs to be installed with IMAP and with the mail function, and Setting up the cronjob that uses wget to run a PHP script that fetches the emails and places them in the queue.

    Here are some links that will help you out:

  • Android vs. iPhone

    Android vs. iPhone

    I never thought I would ever have an iPhone. I have had an Android Phone since the first Droid came out. I guess I just liked the idea behind Google’s linux-based phone and it’s open-ness. Apple is just so expensive, most of it’s apps cost money, and I didn’t really like how it keeps it products on lock down. Android and even Windows phone have a issue though, they have to run on a variety of different makes and models of hardware, where iOS just has to run on like 3. Apple designing the hardware it’s self and the operating system runs on, has the advantage. iOS is much smoother than Android and crashes much less.

    The thing I like more about Android is the apps. I have spent more money on apps for iOS in the 4 weeks than I have ever had owning an Android. Android has a good app for connecting to a uTorrent server. It was very nice to be able to VPN into my home, start a movie download, then be able to watch it when i get home. There is probably an app to connect to uTorrent servers for iOS, but I haven’t found it yet, and when I do find it, it will probably cost money. Tethering, I miss being able to tether off my phone for free, android wins on that one.

    I haven’t been able to get hands-on with the GalaxyS3 yet though. I flashed my roommate’s Galaxy Nexus with bugless beast which is on jelly bean and it seemed pretty smooth. I haven’t given up on Android, I just really like this iPhone lol. I’ll give iOS a shot for as long as I have this job, my work gave me an iPhone after I busted my DroidX… :\ I’m just kinda going on a rant about phones because i’m bored, home on a saturday night and I haven’t blogged in almost 2 months. So to finish this, if i could get any phone i wanted in 2013, I would consider getting an iPhone, but I would still probably go google, cause you know the GalaxyS4 is going be awesome. But i’m sure as i get more experienced with the iPhone and an untethered jailbreak comes out for iOS 6, I will like the iPhone more.

  • Changing Permalinks in WordPress IIS 6.0

    Changing Permalinks in WordPress IIS 6.0

    I wanted to change the permalinks on my blog for SEO reasons, but when doing so the pages for my posts couldn’t be found. After googling a little bit I found the answer that worked. I’m running my blog on IIS 6.0

    On your IIS Server download and install ISAPI_Rewrite Lite. When downloading make sure to use the free Lite version. Install Rewrite Lite, add the ISAPI filter to your IIS Site, by right clicking on your IIS site -> properties -> ISAPI filters tab -> Add … Name the filter whatever you wish and your path to your executable should be:
    C:\Program Files\Helicon\ISAPI_Rewrite3\ISAPI_Rewrite.dll
    Click OK on both windows to save your settings.
    Next navigate to C:\Program Files\Helicon\ISAPI_Rewrite3
    Here we will edit httpd.conf
    Open the httpd.conf file in wordpad and paste in these lines:

    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]

    Save and exit this file.
    To complete your IIS changes, Go to start, run and run the command: iisreset /restart
    Now you should be able to change the permalinks on your wordpress blog for some reason I had to choose custom and place /%postname% in the field to get it to work.
    Bad thing about changing your permalinks is your tweets, likes, and google+1 counter will reset 🙁

  • User not appearing in global address list

    User not appearing in global address list

    Well I haven’t posted in awhile so I thought I would write about this because I just ran into this issue. I made a new user and mailbox, changed their email address, and that user was not appearing under the global address list but would appear under All Users in the address book. In my case I’m running Exchange 2007 and most of my clients are using Outlook 2010.

    Step 1. log into the Exchange Management Shell and run:

    update-filedistributionservice -identity Servername

    Of course change Servername to the real name of your server.

    Then Update-GlobalAddressList hit enter, then type the name of the GAL

    Step 2. In Outlook manually download the address book by going to: the Send / Receive tab, then click on Send/receive Groups, and in the drop down, click on Download Address Book, then under Information to download, click Full Details. After that the user should now appear in the global address list.

    This post is dedicated to Dillon Francis. I was able to see him in downtown Phoenix a couple of weeks back, and the place was wild. I was able to sneak backstage and ask him about his recent trip to Alaska. I was a little wasted and don’t remember to much of what he said, but I think the convo when something like this.
    Me: “So how did you like Alaska?”
    Dillon: “It was okay”
    Me: “ya, I’m from there”
    lol..yaaa I would make a terrible music journalist.. I know we talked about the EDC Alaska video he made but that is about all I remember 😐 He was a very nice person, and I was happy I was able to meet him. Such a fun night!

  • Sipwise sip:providerCE a free VoIP solution

    Sipwise sip:providerCE a free VoIP solution

    Sipwise’s sip:providerCE v2.6 is a free VoIP solution that works…that’s about it, it doesn’t work great but it does work. It could have been my environment, but I don’t think the setup is anything special. First I installed sip:providerCE virtual image, on to my ESXi box. Log into the VMware console for the newly installed sipwise VM with the username/password of root/sipwise. I just let sipwise grab a DHCP lease, then run ‘ngcpcfg apply’ to generate the configuration files and reboot the server.

    After that you should be able to log into the web interface at https://ipaddress:1433 with the username/password of administrator/administrator. You will then need to create a domain i.e. voip.yourdomain.com this can be an IP address as well. After that you will need to create a user, [email protected] and give that user a password. That’s pretty much it on the server side.

    Now we need a client for Windows/OSX/Linux I used Jitsi, it’s kinda slow, but that’s what the guide I followed used so…but install the client and when it pops up to create an account click on Use online provisioning link at the bottom of the window. Check the Enable provisioning check box, select Manually specify a provisioning URI and put the following URL there, with only the IP address part changed to reflect your IP or domain name (make sure to leave the rest intact exactly as shown here):

    https://IPofYourSipProviderServer/jitsi?user=${username}&pass=${password}&uuid=${uuid}

    Close Jitsi and reopen it, and it should ask you for a username/password, after you log in you will need to go to Tools, Options, In the Accounts tab select the SIP account it created for you and click the Edit button at the bottom. In the Presence tab un-check the Use SIP Credentials check box and manually enter your username and password or close and reopen the app.

    The Android client I used was CSipSimple which was very easy to setup, just create a basic account, give it a name, put in your username/password and server address.

    If your going to be connecting to this from the internet you need to port forward https and UDP 5060/5061 to the SIPwise server.

    Links below are to download the VM image and the blog post I followed.

    AOC-SIMLP-3(+) Configuration

    I had to install this remote access card into one of my clients servers. The documentation was pretty straight forward, boot off install CD and run IPMICFG.exe to configure, except when you boot of the CD and it’s doesn’t recognize your CD drive. Called support, no help, the guy thought I was an idiot, and I hung up on him. If i booted the iso image in a VM, IPMICFG.exe ran fine, so I was in a little bit of a pickle. My solution was to make a bootable DOS USB drive and put IPMICFG.exe on it. Booted off the USB drive, and was able to configure the card with no problem.

  • Engenius ECB9500 POS

    Engenius ECB9500 POS

    The other day I had to swap out one of my client’s old access point with this Engenius ECB9500. By default it is configured as a wireless bridge and has an IP of 192.168.1.2. I log into it change the IP to be on the client’s subnet, change it from wireless bridge mode to access point mode, then it disappears…I can’t connect to it at the IP I changed it to, I can’t connect to it on it’s default IP, nothing. I thought maybe after i changed it to access point mode maybe it defaults to DHCP, nope. I read the admin guide, nothing helpful. Maybe its a browser issue, nope. I’m just going to cut my rant short and tell you when you change it to access point mode it defaults to 192.168.1.1 it took me a hour to figure that out only have finally noticing in firefox’s status bar that it was trying to connect to that address after i changed it to AP mode. Hey Engenius it was genius that you didn’t include that in the admin guide.
