With hosting plans at $10 or $15 per year now, maybe we should have
a dollar drive (everyone who can mail in $1) and not be stuck with Yahoo
on the files front.. For that matter my four gigs with 160GB per month
was only $100 or $120. Heck what am I saying, if the double deal is
still on (or next time it is), $20 more will add another 4 GB and
160GB/month on my package that can easily be split off, or at least part
of it. Too bad I didn't think about the domain name, Yahoo had a 3 day
special last week for 5 years of domain registration for $1.99/year or
$10 total.. I got mine but someone could have gotten HomebrewPCB etc
and pointed it to my space.. Still only like $8/year from several
places anyway..

Has some other budget hosts, but now I'd say expand mine if it's still
available since I can make up seperate sub accounts and have anonymous
FTP etc.. Heck I can probably make a subdomain and donate 200 MB and
some bandwidth out of mine already for now, got the space to learn on
and for a site shortly, so it's low usage right now.. Bandwidth can add
up fast though, posting only the ~25MB link for the RC Heli video below
on another group ate up 1GB plus over a few days. Either way it's
pretty cheap to escape the limitations of Yahoo. $20 one time fee for
doubling on my host adds up fast since I've already doubled up a couple
of times, initial is $80 for 1GB/40GB/M, but after a couple of doublings
it's very competitive..

At any rate I'll keep it in mind for the next deals I see on hosting etc..

Haven't been in here much in a while, the $25 to $30 video camera from
CVS is excellent, and most are easy to hack to USB downloading. It's
about perfect for making quick videos of boards and materials etc for
the group, and fun for many other things too, look at the video section..

Just some of my files, things I've done recently and a while back.
Working on a couple of websites but for now the root is just tests.
