To Do List

To Do List: To get the Windows based server up and running I need to set up the following (last update 4/28/10):

• Redo all the movie sheets
• Re-rip movies as MKV's without any compression (yuck)
  
• Set up the HDHomerun to record OTA HDTV
• Find a solution for removing commercials from recordings, preferably automatically
• Configure print server
• Configure iTunes to play and serve music, control via iPhone
• Install remote desktop client
• Find a way to automatically upload photos to Flickr
• Set the small drive as cold storage
• Install an NFS server for windows
• Install a bittorrent client and with a web based UI
• Restore available data from online backup
• reformat large drive
• copy data to the large drive
• Set the large drive to be automatically backed up

Apocalypse!

I haven't had much to report for the last 4 months. Everything was running incredibly smoothly. The system would go weeks without needing to be restarted. I could add stuff to the server and the client wouldn't miss a beat. The wife was happy. The kid was happy. Even I was happy.

Than the apocalypse hit.
