Why DavidOrlo.com? I wanted to create a new site where I would share information on various projects I am interested in but I have so many and one may have nothing to do with another so instead of coming up with a bunch of cool names for twenty plus websites I decided I would just create a site using my name and try to categorize it the best I could. Here you will find logs of ...

I'm working on some site design changes so if you see something that looks off just try refreshing the page or waiting a while and revisiting the site.

The Asus RT N16, I found this router when I was looking for something to replace my D-Link DGL-4500 Gamer Lounge. Although the router was very expensive when I bought it and the flashy LCD sure looks nice it doesn't actually perform all that well and if I disconnect my Sonicwall and try to use the router by itself it chokes out and locks up under heavy bit torrent load. I decided I would shop ...

There's no doubt if you have listed more than a handful of items for sale on Craigslist you have ran into the issue of one of your postings being flagged and removed from Craigslist instantly and what your likely don't know, autonomously. I have listed about 30 ads on Craigslist in my lifetime and only recently ran into the issue of having one of my listing removed because it was flagged. I received an e-mail ...

In the latest version of Oracle VirtualBox it looks like they went the extra distance and trumped all other virtualization platforms by adding the ability to impersonate each one of them. You read that correctly, the latest VirtualBox can now save a virtual machine in any of the most popular formats including, VDI - Sun / Oracle VirtualBox VMDK - VMWare Workstation, Server, ESX, ESXi VHD - Microsoft Virtual PC, Hyper-V HDD - Parallels Desktop This is very interesting stuff, ...

When it comes to IT monitoring software you nearly need a Bachelor's degree from the software provider just to manage the damn thing, and we won't even get into the complications involved in setting it all up. Its no secret I often fantasize about the perfect piece of monitoring software for specific tasks and all in one style solutions. At one point in the last year it was a task of mine to research all ...

The analog to digital sketches have been covered a million ways from Sunday with every conceivable part but in order for us to move on to more complex circuits and concepts I need to be sure you know these simpler ones. This tutorial wont be quite as in depth as the others because frankly there just isn't much code. Without further delay I give you the wiring diagram. Another very simple circuit diagram, by the way ...

Well well well, Look who's back for more already. If you're pushing through these Arduino tutorials screaming give me more then I'd like to be the first to tell you good job and keep it up. Soon you will have this thing called the Arduino mastered and that creation that you had in mind (The one that got you into this mess in the first place) will seem like child's play once I'm through with ...

By now you should have your Arduino and have gone through the Arduino Website and maybe you received some documentation with your board which describes the Electrical Engineering Hello World, The LED Blink Sketch. The LED Blink sketch gives you a rough idea of how you will send commands to the micro controller and how the micro controller will communicate with components attached to it. Other than that your pretty much on your own, if you have a background in ...

If you post a comment and it has a link back to YOUR site I will remove the link, Why you ask? Well its quite simple, because my website is not to be used as a stepping stone to help improve your site rankings. I don't do it on other sites and would appreciate it if you do not do it on mine. There are exceptions to this rule however If your site is 100% non-profit free ...

Recently while working on the new Virtualization shootout testing I came across the issue that Microsoft Hyper-V doesn't offer any built in Physical to Virtual machine conversion tools so I set out for an easy way to convert a physical machine for some quick and simple testing. I found two options and I will present them both, the first option is a tool I recently became familiar with due to the fact that we are considering ...
