Great Free Programs #3

by John on Oct.21, 2010, under Computing

Comodo FirewallComodo Fire Wall has saved my butt several times, and protected my pc from malware and unwanted registry changes. You’ll spend a week teaching Comodo what is allowed and what isn’t. A little patience is needed as it learns, but afterward it will run quietly in the background alerting you when necessary. When alerted,  you will have several options of what action to take.  This firewall is very easy to configure, and is perfect for people with little experience setting up such a program.

Comodo Features:

Defends your PC from Internet attacks
Control what files run on your PC
Prevents malware from being installed
Auto Sandbox Technology™
Cloud based Behaviour Analysis
Cloud based Behaviour Whitelisting
Award winning & highly rated Firewall

I’ve been using Comodo for several years and am quite comfortable stating, this program is a must have.

2011 Calendar

2011-calendar

Geezz, 2011 is coming and I need to decide on a new calendar for the shop. I’ve decided on a gurly calendar for the year coming. Something to keep the girls out of here I’m hoping. The car calendar didn’t work at all. I must say, deciding whether to buy a nudy calendar or an almost nudy one is a tough decision. See, a nudy calendar I know will work like Kryptonite against Superman. An almost nudy one will work, but with only 50% effectiveness.  I don’t want the girls to think I like looking at naked women of course. I’d only be putting it up to keep the girls out of the clubhouse. I mean, none of us guys want to go out to the shop and have to see a new, naked, hot, sexy woman every month. Maybe I can suffer through a Playboy calendar. I hear those are classy. Or should I stick with a bikini one? Man, I just don’t know what to do.
Any thoughts? Maybe I’ll wait and see if Maxim magazine comes out with something good.

shopsmith cleanup1shopsmith cleanup 2It’s coming along nice. I used “Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish” on the whole thing even the steel.  I can’t believe how great that stuff worked. It will all be done next post. I’m going to do a short vid of converting it from one tool to the next in a couple of days so check it out.

1951 Shopsmith ER-10

by John on Oct.02, 2010, under Guy Stuff

Shopsmith1Shopsmith2Having some large projects around the house to get done, I asked my dad if I could grab the old Shopsmith that has been sitting in storage for god nows how long. He said that would be fine so off we went to get it. For those that don’t know, a Shopsmith ER is basically a table saw, disc sander, drill press and lathe, all wrapped up into one package. I remember the machine being in mint condition, but unfortunately all the years packed away have taken their toll. I’ll need to get all the rust off the way tubes, clean up the aluminum and rewire the switch and motor. I was able to determine through the manual and serial number, that this Shopsmith was made in 1951. It’s also in fairly good shape compared to the ones I’ve seen on the Internet. In fact, many of the hard core Shopsmith guys would tear this apart piece by piece and rebuild it. After a close look, I think  I can get it clean and running nice as it sits. So off I go to Canadian Tire for supplies and lets see how this turns out.
