Major Posts about some of the Projects I have taken on.
With all the hoopla going around, I found myself wondering what I could do to fight the coronavirus. In my research, I came across Folding@Home, a distributed computing project for simulating protein dynamics, including the process of protein folding and the movements of proteins implicated in a variety of diseases. It brings together citizen scientists […]
I have completed a very large amount of projects in my life ranging from all sorts of different things, one of which is this very website! In fact, that is the very purpose of this site, to showcase some of the things I have done. The site was launched in late December of 2019 and […]
The under-body, rim, and in-cabin lights were installed in December of 2017. All lights are fully RGB and turn white when a door is open to easily see things in the dark. Everything is wired to a clean looking Fuse/Relay box added in the engine bay. The door trigger relay is wired through a timer […]
This was a Christmas gift for my father in December of 2019. I secretly installed it when I borrowed his truck one day. I chose the 5 coil (2 zone) qi charger for maximum surface area. The top have of the tray has 3 coils and the bottom half has 2 coils. If the phone […]
The Dill Family Server received a major system upgrade near the end of December 2019. You can view the parts list here. Some of the highlights are its Ryzen 7 3700x processor, Quadro P2000 GPU, and 64GB of DDR4 RAM. It runs unRAID for easy hard-drive expand-ability as well as docker support. It currently has […]
In October of 2019, I picked up my headset one day and noticed that the built in 3.5mm jack was broken in half. I have no idea how it happened. Since it was out of warranty, I decided to fix it rather than buying a new headset. I bought some 4 pole TRRS 3.5mm female […]
Previous Next Back in August of 2019, I performed some repairs on a Cadillac SRX. The digitizer on the CUE Radio had failed. You could see a part of it cracking internally and it would randomly press things for the user. I disassembled the center dash and pulled out the radio. I swapped the digitizer […]
My father’s 23′ DreamSurfer hadn’t been taken out on the water in a while because of some issues and maintenance that had piled up. It was time for some major tender loving care. Going into this project, I new the boat had a slight overheating problem that occurred when riding on plane at full engine […]
Minor project here. Back in June of 2019, an old water well pump wasn’t working. After some diagnosing I confirmed the pressure switch to be the root of the cause. After installing a new one, and adding some air pressure to the tank, all that was left was to tweak the pressure switch to get […]
We used to use an omni-directional antenna that had a very low range. Channels started getting choppier as time went on. Back in February of 2019, I replaced it with a high range (over 70 miles) directional antenna instead. It worked so well that in May of 2019 I installed one at my grandmothers too. […]
