Hasta La Gadget!

Don’t you just love the weathervane? There is something old school about it, not to mention it adds plenty of character to that particular building. Well, the Vaavud is something that we have talked about before in the past, where it has managed to raised up the relevant amount of money from the well trodden path known as Kickstarter, alongside a bunch of angel investors who have placed $375,000 into the company to boot. Vaavud would rely on a smartphone, an app, as well as a rather low-tech meter that is comprised of a couple of pieces of plastic in order to measure various details such as wind speed, direction, and others simply by keeping track on the direction of the wind.

The Raspberry Pi has proven itself to be an interesting computing device that does not cost more than a posh meal at a Michelin starred restaurant, and yet it is full well capable of delivering a decent entry level computing experience for those who have the technical know how of fixing it up. In the past, we have seen various upgrades introduced to the Raspberry Pi, where the most recent one was a sound card, although a camera add-on was also spoken of a couple of years ago. This time around, it seems that a team of developers has the dream of seeing an HDMI input being thrown into the mix so that you are able to use the Raspberry Pi and capture video from a wide range of sources.

The LG L70 was first announced before Mobile World Congress 2014 kicked off in Barcelona, Spain, earlier this year, where the LG L70 was specially released in order to take over from where the LG Optimus L7 II left off. As for the hardware specifications, we should not expect anything on the high end side of things, so this particular handset will have to settle down as something on the mid-range scale, featuring a 4.5″ WVGA IPS display, a dual-core Snapdragon 200 chipset, 4GB of internal memory as well as an 8MP camera that is located at the back.

I frequently get asked how people can setup their own FTP. Some of the current programs available always seem intimidating with the extensive list of configuration options when most people only want to access their own documents when they’re away from their PC.

In the past I have always recommended the free GuildFTPD, but getting it to work can be a hit or miss. So I started searching around for another tool that you could use, and I found just the thing!

The answer to your FTP server problem is the Quick ‘n Easy FTP Server Lite (Download Mirror). It is an easy-to-use FTP server application that you can setup in less than 30–seconds…no joke. The download weighs in at a measly 0.35MB and there is no installation necessary. Just run the executable file and start configuring your FTP server.

Once you get it running you’ll be greeted with a wizard to walk you through the necessary steps to complete the setup. As seen here, the only thing it really asks for is a username, password, a starting directory, and permissions for your server:

After the setup is complete just press the green “Start” button located on the toolbar. This will initiate your FTP server so that you can connect to it using Windows Explorer (by placing FTP:// in front of your IP address) or by using a free FTP client such as my favorite FileZilla.

After you get it all setup, there are a bunch of different things you can do with the program including viewing statistics or adding more users. With an interface that closely resembles Windows XP it should be a breeze for you to tinker around with what it has to offer:

The only thing that would probably prevent you from getting the FTP server setup in less than 30–seconds would be port forwarding. By default this program uses the default FTP port 21 which you may have to forward if you’re using a router at your home. This is pretty easy to do and your router’s documentation should explain how to do it.

I have never seen a program that makes it so easy to setup your own personal FTP, but this one does a very good job of it. They also have a Pro version available for $29.95, but I think you’ll be more than satisfied with what the free version has to offer.
