  1. I want to set up this page: https://home-design-concepts-ctshudy.c9users.io/portfolio/ so that when you click on the images below it will dynamically change the content on the page. Any ideas? Thanks
  2. Thanks! Super appreciated! I'm already working on designs for the next one!
  3. Hahaha I should clarify: Not smoke from a fire haha! We add smoke to still shots in our b-roll to give it a little bit more flavor!
  4. Hey guys! My name is Connor, I co-own Affinity Collective which is a small time technology channel on YouTube, we use our channel to obviously create videos but also for learning. We have gotten a lot better with filming and editing techniques, but all criticism is appreciated! But lets get on to the meat and potatoes... So I had some extra wood lying around... and I had my computer... So I decided to build a computer case out of wood! To be fair it's a little rough, but for spending less then $60.00 in materials, it's pretty sweet! Watch The Video On It Here (Spoiler: Contains Some Bokehlicious B-Roll) As you'll see in the video, the case was built using 98% 1/2" Birch Plywood, and then a couple pieces of 2x4 just for a stand off inside the bottom piece. The windows are all made using some 1/4 " Acrylic I got from Lowes. I used a table saw for almost all of the cutting, and the occasional use of a band saw for some of the angled pieces. I had a belt sander I used, and then a couple of drill bits for holes. It was put together with a small brad nailer. After I sanded the final product, I gave it a Special Walnut Stain that's dark enough to look okay with all of my black peripherals, and I put a semi-gloss poly coat on it as well so it would hold up a little bit better. This was my first time building anything like this, so it was a learning process for sure... Next time I'm going to try building a more minimalist design so it'll fit more conveniently in my dorm for college. Thanks guys! **Please note** The computer is not on fire! It's just for effect for still shots in B-Roll! It makes it a bit more interesting!
  5. I'm debating with a friend, and neither of us are sure. Could we create a redundant array by doing the following? (or this invalid?) The idea was because we found some cheap 120 gb ssd's that have decent speeds, we already have a nice samsung 240gb and were curious if that would be possible or not. |-------------------------Raid 1-------------------| |--------Raid 0----------| | [ 120 gb ssd ] [ 120 gb ssd ] [240 gb ssd]
  6. I tried the Lynda trial starting in December, and somehow missed the 35$ payment in January, but just caught the payment from 2 days ago... I haven't used it except for the first two days of the trial. Is there anyway I can get my money back or am I out of luck? $70.00 is a lot of money to me and especially because I didn't use the service ONCE after the first two days of the trial. Thanks for any input. - Connor
  7. Thank you two for the help, I'll let you know if I have any problems setting up a FTP server once I get the FreeNAS set up.
  8. Could we set up FileZilla to be used with the NAS? What would you suggest?
  9. So he couldn't upload/download to/from my NAS using BT sync? What FTP service should I use?
  10. Fantastic. And that should allow my friend to upload files to my NAS easily? What would he see on his end?
  11. I'm planning on building a rig to use as a NAS but I want my buddy from across the state to be able to access it so we can collaborate on video projects. Can I use FreeNAS and BitTorrent Sync to allow him access to the NAS? Thanks, Connor
  12. I had the iPhone 4s, regretted it the entire time that I had it. Android is so much better. I think its more than a fair enough trade. Just make sure the phone is compatible with your carrier if you don't want to do a bunch of fancy stuff.
