Before: After: Originally seen on mooey5775. So, you’ve started 3D Printing, and if you’re like me, you start with PLA. Let’s just take a quick moment to appreciate PLA and all of its benefits: Printing on blue tape No heated bed Less warping It smells good However, after you’ve printed…
Posts – An Update
Hey everyone. Remember when I said that I was going to be bringing back mooey5775 posts? Well, none of the mooey5775 posts ever showed up on this website. I’ve decided to make up the past few days of not posting here by uploading as many mooey5775 posts as I can…
Computer Problems
Hey guys. You might have noticed that I haven’t posted anything for the past few days. I’m really sorry about this. There are a few reasons for this: I’m at AwesomeMath I HAD TESTS TODAY. My computer is… kind of broken Let’s get started. AwesomeMath We learn math. We have…
On Wireless Charging
The other day, I was at Starbucks, and I noticed this thing: Over the country, wireless chargers are starting to pop up in Starbucks, with some dongles to plug into your phones. One of my friends had a wireless charging enabled phones, and it seemed really cool when he put…

ed.ward’s New Servers

In the short operating span of a month, mooey5775 and ed.ward have switched through three different servers: C.H.I.P. from Next Thing Co. Raspberry Pi Model B (a slight downgrade) Random HP Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel…
TRIM and Mac
If you’ve replaced the hard drive in your Mac with an SSD (Solid State Drive), you’re probably already happy with the performance boost that it gives compared to that old and slow hard drive. However, you may have heard somewhere that it was important to enable TRIM. However, you might…
Mounting Samba Shares on Ubuntu
As some mooey5775 readers may know, I own a (pretty bad) hard drive that I keep permanently attached to my network. I would call it a NAS, but it probably doesn’t even deserve that status. However, the important part is that it works, and doesn’t experience that much load, making…
