Thors Hammer

Thors Hammer

I think the title speaks for itself, THORS HAMMERS!!!

Thor’s Hammer was known as the Mjölnir. In Norse mythology, hardly could any weapon surpass the Mjölnir regarding reputation or power. Indeed, Thor hammer was considered to be the best weapon in the myth. Because not only did it help defend the Gods, but it also gave the blessing. However, most of the times what we know about Mjölnir was its presence with Thor in combat. And for sure, we barely know anything about its origin. This blog post will briefly and precisely discuss the origin of this outstanding Mjölnir .

Got Bored and Built and Ottoman

Cody Viveiros — Sun, 13 Oct 2019 12:32:31 +0000

im always too tall to get super comfortable on couches. so having an ottoman is crucial to get to that next level of comfort :)

Now my main niche is building things for as cheap as possible and with things i already have if i can. So sometimes the way i go about getting the job done, could be done easier and/or better in a different manner. Im completely aware of that, but if i can go the long way around and not spend money, thats the route im going to go. here are some pics of the ottoman, ill make another post in a few days because i plan on taking it apart and lowering it a tad so ill get more details pics then!

Thanks for stopping by!

DIY : Cheap Network Drive

Cody Viveiros — Sun, 30 Jun 2019 02:42:26 +0000

Converting old tech, into a new NAS

Im a pretty big cheapskate. With that being said, i ALWAYS try to find cheaper “work arounds” for solutions to problems. Especially tech problems, there is always a cheaper way. My current situation, i have a 6ft projector screen in my living room that i love, powered by a raspberry pi, that pulls from my media server that is upstairs. Media server is an old PC with 350gb HDD and a 1TB external for movie storage, both in which i depleted. So now i need more memory. and i want it cheap. i found an Apple Time Capsule on OfferUp for $30. These were discontinued years back because they just didn’t take. but they to have a 2 TB HDD integrated. So after hours spend trying to make the apple networking drive work seamlessly with ANY other OS, i made no progress. so next answer was to start taking things apart. this video will show you how to remove the HDD from an Apple Time Capsule and make it usable. My apologies my camera died before completion . but the removal is laid out here, and its pretty self explanatory after that!

New iPhone update shows love to contractors

Cody Viveiros — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 04:37:20 +0000

So, two days ago (September 23rd) i received a new iPhone firmware update. After my phone rebooted, i noticed a new app on my screen called “measure”, of course my curiosity forced me to open it and see what it was all about, and BOY was i impressed. They finally made an app for all contractors and construction workers! Now im aware others have tried to create apps that do similar actions but they all failed. Either super buggy and wasn’t easily operated, or measurements were not even close to accurate . Well Apple killed it. i have tested it, and confirmed accuracy ! For any and all construction workers, DONT SLEEP ON THIS APP!!!

Digital, Live, Photo slideshow and calendar

Cody Viveiros — Wed, 18 Apr 2018 21:45:36 +0000

I had an old iPad one that wasn’t very good for much, considering how much technology has exceeded since the first generation. So I sought something to do with the old iPad, and decided to turn it into a picture frame/calendar so when I wake up in the morning I can see my itinerary in the evenings I see live photo hours set up on iCloud

Rustic Country Baby Crib

Cody Viveiros — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 19:04:19 +0000

My girlfriend brings her son over often and I love that little guy. So I decided to make him his own little bed when he’s visiting! All made from reclaimed wood. I decided not to sand it, I wanted to keep the aesthetics of the texture of the wood, so in efforts to NOT give little man splinters, I will spray with a thin, clear, rubbery membrane that will “seal” the wood and make it smooth. But here is the project thus far!!

Handmade Tufted Headboard

Cody Viveiros — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 19:14:22 +0000

I have a nice sleigh bed, in which i love. but when i used to sit up and watch TV my head would hit the back of the headboard which was all wood, wasn't comfortable. So i decided to modify it to be more comfortable. Tufted was the only way to go! i hope you enjoy! and if you like it, i can make these custom to order with measurements from you!

Thanks

Sonoff Wi-Fi switch successful

Cody Viveiros — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 06:54:27 +0000

Months ago i started seeing alot of cool things in the "Home Automation" genre. i loved it! But i didnt love the price these companies were giving to their consumers!! I had absolutely zero experience in this field, i just happen to have what i consider a really good sense of "common sense" and "troubleshooting skills". So i set out to find a much cheaper way to get what i wanted... andso far, its been a success.

Experimenting with Power Strip

Cody Viveiros — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 06:07:03 +0000

For all who are following my DIY home automation stuff. im experimenting with a 4 channel wifi switch, rewiring a power strip to be compatible with the switch.... Edit: since this video, im aware most electricians will give me the "dont burn your house down" malarky. this was strictly JUST for experimental purposes. Was NOT intended to stay plugged in nor be for everyday use...
