Finally got to play Richard Burns Rally on the Obutto Gaming Cockpit today and here is the video I took. Sorry the videos were published so late both days but between my day job and fighting with some video rendering problems I was delayed. I hope you enjoy this latest video and it gives you a very good look at the Obutto R3volution cockpit in case you are deciding to buy one for yourself. Please come like the Man Cave Facebook page so that you can communicate with me. Also please subscribe since it helps me grow my channel and you will get notified when my newest videos become available!
A lot of you requested that I do a video with some software development in it. Well it turns out a gift I received a few months ago from my friend Greg in the form of a Belkin WeMo switch turned on a lightbulb over my head (No pun intended, or was it... I forget). Anyways here is the video showing you the C# .NET code written in Visual Studio 2012 and the command line batch script that drives the WeMo application I developed to automate the process of detecting when the internet is not reachable and powercycling the cable modem automatically and as many times as it takes before internet is restored.
This will solve the huge problem I have where my cable modem goes offline during vacation and I can't remote to my machine or the cable modem locks up while we're watching Netflix in the bedroom and I have to go to the closet and unplug it and get out of my nice, warm, cozy bed!
I hope you guys enjoy the video and take a look at the code and I hope some developers or aspiring developer see this video and find a use for the code I have created and continue to build on it and make it better. Due to the huge time constraints on this project because of my busy life I had to skip a lot of error checking and segmentation steps to make the code perfect but I got to the point where it serves my purpose.
The cool thing this project demonstrates is that even though Belkin didn't release any software to control these devices outside of the iOS platform (iPhone & iPad) it is possible to intercept the traffic from these devices and devise a way to communicate with them in a supported way from any platform (Windows, .NET framework, etc). Now other people can utilize this library to build more robust automation and do some seriously cool things with these devices (christmas lights anyone)?
ABOUT WeMo SWITCH
If it plugs in, you can turn it on or off with WeMo. Just plug your lamp, or fan, or stereo (almost anything) into the WeMo Switch, and you're ready to control it with the WeMo app.

I was supposed to enjoy an amazing weekend of gaming at PDXLAN but instead I spent the whole weekend recovering from a botched Windows Anniversary update while everyone else was having the time of their lives. Thanks Microsoft, really... Thanks...

This is the follow up video to the modification of my Obutto Revolution to add an iPad. This software is amazing, it allows you to create custom dashboards in any layout you can imagine and have them at your fingertips and easily configurable. I personally like having certain data on a separate screen and feel that it ads to the experience.
The application works by running a server app on your computer running iRacing that the iPad iHud application connects to. There appears to be no (or very little) lag in the data displayed on the iPad as you are playing the game which is fantastic.
iHUD for iRacing is the definitive Dashboard for iRacing.
With iHud for iRacing V2.20 you can customize High Definition Dashboards in your iOS device. You can play iRacing in FULL SCREEN without having to play in windowed mode and without losing any FPS!!.
With iHud for iRacing you will enjoy:
Up to 15 categories of accessories.
Up to 110 widgets witch you can place anywhere you want.

I attended Vlogger Fair 2016 creator day at Adobe in Seattle, WA and the highlight of the day was my talk on cyber security and protecting yourself as a content creator. I gave this talk completely off the cuff with Jon Prosser from Front Page Tech here on YouTube and let's just say we scared the hell out of everyone.

I toured one of the largest BitCoin mines in North America last year (2015) but unfortunately was asked not to post the video when one of the investors got cold feet after watching it. I thought this video would be lost forever but I was contacted today and given permission to finally post the video so now all you guys can enjoy it. Please leave a comment down below if you have questions, also you will find Questions & Answers if you go to the bottom of this section.

▼ Questions & Answers ▼
Q) Why didn't you post this when you made it?
A) One of the investors in this BitCoin mine was uncomfortable with me posting the video so I held off. The problems that investor had no longer apply and I was given permission to post it now.
Q) Is BitCoin mining still profitable?
A) BitCoin is worth twice what it was when I originally shot this video. There are a lot of factors involved but I personally feel like BitCoin is here to stay. It's still semi volatile like any other investment but it's not disappearing like many people predicted it would.
Q) You look a lot thinner in this video.
A) That is because it was shot a year ago because my life got turned up side down and I gained a bunch of weight. I largely just ignore comments about my weight now and just block them since I need to get my mental health back. Read more about it in my blog at http://blog.barnnerd.com
Q) How much money does this mine make?
A) That changes day to day but you can take the total hashrate which I show in an annotation during the video and plug that into a bitcoin calculator for pool mining with the current difficulty and price of the coin with an estimated power price of 5 cents per KW and get a rough estimate.
