Recently I got the new T-Mobile Dash Smartphone for work which I replaced my SE K750I. This is the first test shot of a picture shot from the Dash.

When Windows Vista was available for download from MS, I immediately loaded it on my Dell D620. What was my first impression of it? I LOVE IT! If you are a Windows XP user, you should have no problem getting around Vista. There are lots of new setting and featuers but most are the same. The OS is pretty stable so far and it has not crashed yet even after trying to install legacy software that is not supported, because Vista won't let you install it. Vista is a major improvement over Windows XP. Comparing Vista to Mac OS X, Vista kicks OS X's ass. I'm in the IT field so I have to embrace Windows and I could accomplish more than on a Mac. OS X is for fruities who barely know how to turn on a computer.  Keep up the good work MSFT. You are keeping me employed.

I got to see them for the second time. This time they've gone a little bit main stream. You got mom and pop bringing their little kids to a rock show and all kind of weird couch potatoe type of people were there. So uncool. Regardless, they were pretty good live.

Have you seen them played in SF? No? Then check them out.

I got to hang out with some really old friends and new ones too. This is GST 10 years later.

God damn frigging monday morning traffic.

Check out the bottom left of the page. I embedded a flash mp3 player that plays samples of the best music ever. I will change them out weekly. I'm sorry if they are not your cup of tea. Enjoy!

but no pictures of the Clientele. Boohoo so these will do. I need a better camera phone. Check out some hot MySpace chicks.

I know this is old but it is classic. I could never get enough of this guy. As usual, this mofo makes me laugh too hard. Obviously he doesn't know what sovereignty really means. That's why we're in Iraq.

Mostly roadster this time.

I always wanted some kind of dgital photo display in the family but they are very expensive and does not have wireless capability. I have an old laptop that has been laying around but could only run Windows 98. It is perfect for this project.

This is my requirement:
- Old laptop
- Painting frame. I recommend the RIBBA picture frame from Ikea because it is thick in size
- Boot into Windows
- Connect to the network via WIFI
- Access network share on remote server where pictures are stored
- Launch screen saver to display rotating pictures

Ribba picture frame. There are different sizes so pick one best fit your laptop LCD.


Confgure the laptop and make sure that everything works and behave the way you want it to after you hung it on your wall.
I run Windows 98 on this old laptop. To login to Windows with the network domain account, I use TweakUI from Microsoft to do the job.
To initiate the screensaver automatically after windows boot, I use Macro Express program to execute it. I also installed RealVNC remote control just in case I need to make minor changes remotely.


Looks like everything is working the way I want it to. Now time to strip the laptop of its casing. I got rid of everything that I don't need like the battery, floppy and CD-Rom drives, modem and speaker. The only crucial components are the main boards, LCD, HDD, PCMCIA card tray.

Now cut out the hole in the board that came with the Ribba picture frame for the LCD. I centered the LCD on the board and outlined it with a pencil. Then I use the dremel tool to cut the hole. Do not cut the hole too big. You want the LCD to fit snuggly.




Before I move on, I want to test it out. It still works. As you can see, it is coming together nicely.


I picked up a piece of poster board from Michael's, the local craft store, to make the border. Cut out the display opening.




The laptop guts are very light so I resorted to using duct tape to mount the whole thing behind the picture frame.


And here is the completed DIY wall mount photo display. The wire you see here is the power cable but at least it is wireless and I could update the pictures easily on the remote server. Cost? An old laptop, $10.00 for the picture frame and poster board and a weekend.
