A USB stick as a file server? We've done it!

Road test Last week Vulture South got its hands on an intriguing SanDisk product called the “Connect Wireless Stick”.

It's a USB stick with WiFi built in and is intended as networked storage for mobile devices. The idea is that you'll load the stick full of music and movies, then install the companion app on your iThing or Android and then point their WiFi at the stick. And all without touching on the precious internal memory capacity of your mobile device, or burning through mobile download allowances.

Because it also behaves as a normal, boring, USB stick you can also plug it into a Mac or PC and use the device as a normal, boring, USB stick. That's how SanDisk imagines you'll get content onto the device. You'll be charging the device's four-hour battery as you load content.

Which got your correspondent wondering if it could also work as a file server for PCs if permanently plugged in to a power source.

The answer is a “yes”.

To get it done, configure the Wireless Stick so that it connects to your WiFi network instead of peer-to-peer with mobile devices. Next, go into Settings/About and find its IP address. Type that IP address into a browser on a PC or Mac.

You should soon see the device's web interface which makes it easy to download the stick's contents and perform drag-and-drop uploads from a PC or Mac to the stick.

I was also able to mount the drive on both Mac and PC. On OS X open the Finder, use the Go menu, select “Connect to Server”, feed in the IP address and – presto! - the device's root directory should spawn a window in the Finder. Under Windows I used Map Network Drive and fed it the address \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\files\. Up came the stick as a network drive.

The device is no speed demon: I uploaded a 100MB file over my domestic 802.11ac router and it took 3.5 minutes to finish the transfer. The same job took 22 seconds when I used the first conventional USB stick I could find on my desk and transferred the file from a Mac to the stick.

Downloads are faster: the 100MB file made its way from the stick to my Mac in a rather better 48 seconds. Those results are fair enough as cheap NAND in USB sticks isn't optimised for writes.

The Connect Wireless Stick comes in a 200GB variant, a decent amount of storage that might just hint at shared storage possibilities. I can't imagine using this as serious storage even though the web interface means setup is swift, simple and probably rather easier to arrange than sharing a volume and connecting devices over WiFi.

But for sheer fun it has appeal as a campfire NAS - a “Campfiler” if you will - plugged into a USB battery. Because who can go camping these days without shared storage?

And who can end a story without a pause to ponder security, because if your people are connecting directly to this device's WiFi it looks like an interesting way to challenge data loss prevention tools.

Amazon has the 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 200GB models at $US23.99, $33.42, $70.99 and $93.99 apiece.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You hate exams check this

A teenager from Sri Lanka is in hot water after he admitted to hacking the website of the nation's president in order to get his exams cancelled.

The local Daily News reports that the 17-year-old, whose name was not released, accessed the official site of President Maithripala Sirisena – president.gov.lk – and replaced the front page with a demand that the nation's A‑level examinations be moved.
The message, which presented itself as being the work of a hacker group called Sri Lanka Youth, complained that the scheduled April exam time coincided with Hindu New Year festivals.

"We are extremely displeased about the decision to hold GCE A/L in April, since the Sinhala/Hindu New Year falls inbetween the exam dates," a translation of the message reads.

"Therefore, reconsider that decision. Furthermore, take care of the security of Sri Lankan websites. Or else we will have to face a cyber war."

According to the Daily News report, the message was first posted Friday of last week and, after being taken down, reappeared over the weekend. The site has since been restored.

The youth, who was from Kadugannawa, was arrested earlier this week. He will reportedly face up to three years in jail and a fine of 300,000 Rupees ($2,000) if convicted.

He would not be the first student to engage in some ill-advised cybercrime in order to get out of taking a test. In 2013, a Harvard University Student was nabbed for trying to make an anonymous bomb threat in hopes of getting his semester exams called off.

If you have ever been bullied let me know. I have been bullied many time before both physically, verbally, and cyber bullied. if you have ever been bullied you know how it feels. Not good right? one of my best friends is being bullied and she is thinking suicide. it's not okay to bully anyone but a girl, and hitting a girl. When she told me I was about to take a hammer to their heads. If you are a christian please join me in a prayer until it stops. please. It would mean a lot to me. and I hope that you have a big enough heart to even to that. if you are a christian and you don't pray for her. you are dead to me. ╭∩╮(︶︿︶)╭∩╮

School Tip!

NEVER ASK OUT A GOOD FRIEND!

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

Never  ask out a good friend. you will most likely lose their friendship with them. A few ways you can tell are. They look at your lips. they text/call you all the time. They always want to hang out.

Bulying

                       A post by one Keegan Beebe 

Look you are not the only one. Even though it feels like it is just you you are not the only one being bullied. I deleted my Twitter account, you want to know why. Someone had been sending me messages like what I would do. and I gave them honest advice then they blasted me with it. You know I have been there and I am still there with internet now it makes it one hundred and ten percent easier for us to get bullied. I have had my head smashed into water fountains, but the good friends you have or will have will be there. My best friend sense sixth grade was there in sixth grade and is here for me now too when I am being bullied. But enough about me and my life. What you need to do is say someone says "hey ugly shoes" you might want to try a response like "Hey thanks I like them why cant you". It will be hard to do that and it always will be but it will pay off always. It will take there brain a few minutes to relize what you just said they will think your going to get angry, witch it there entire point of bullying you they know your weak spots, so when they find them patch them. They can get to know everything about you and so you have to patch up the mean and scared side and pull out the nice person you can be and in words of my school counselor "Be bullied treat with kindness". what she is saying is even if you are you and you get bullied for ir. Be yourself because you are cool if you are yourself and you don't care about it then you are going places I promise you and it will pay off.

Real Talk Sunday

                                 Bullies 

So I have been bullied for practilly all of my life. In elementry school, the staff bullied me because I had ADHD and autism. And in middle school every girl hates me, and the guys bully me because ride a short bus. And now in seventh grade the girl who I loved Olivia. Crushed my heart and soul, she should just crush my bones. I want to be just as mean back to her and stomp on her heart and crush her bones and soul and cuss her out. But I wont. See what most of us don't realize is that if treat bullys with just as mean and hurtful things back the will twice as mean as before. We need to treat bullies with love and kindness. That will not always work in fact they might be even more mean. But deep down inside you know you making a difference in there heart. 

But anyways all this creidit goes to One_shot_gurl. You rock 

Hey guys. So from the best YouTuber ever One_shot_gurl. I am going to start a page called real talk Tuesday. this is not my idea this was ONE_shot_gurls idea and I am just using it. so what it is. I you guys tell me what you need help with and I will talk about it in not a fake way but real. I will tell you about what I did in my childhood to get over what I will be talking about.

Day Two 10/21/15

                                                                               Day Two

So today I got really mad at someone who I will not name. But anyways I got to school today and realized that I had forgotten my camera for photography class but I forgot it on the right day. I called my dad and he brought it up.  Second period went fine accept I got called to the administrators office because there is this kid whos name I will not say. He made a fake report that we told this kid to go kill himself witch my best friend and I would never say to anybody no mater if we hated them with all of our hearts. Now science witch is where My vote came into action. I game Olivia my phone number and the address to my blog but on the bus she gave them away. Then came math. My teacher pretty much hates me. I did my work sheet and she criticized every thing that I did wrong; "Oh you forgot that but you got it answer right " about for twenty questions. You comment would you get pissed.

Anyways that was my day bad or not so  that was day two.

             Day Two

Day one. 10/20/15

                                                                        Day One

      So today I woke up about 6:50 (pretty average for me). I didn't eat breakfast I hate breakfast the sound of people who eat breakfast twist my stomach just the sound of it makes me feel queasy. So my bus comes at around 7:50. so I have about one hour from waking up to catching the bus. Today during this time I played Minecraft the best modern retro game ever. So I got on the bus worked on some work for my job. Yes I do have a job I am a White hat hacker aka a good hacker. When I got to school during first period I hate my teacher and he hates me so that started my day off wrong. Second period I spent most of second period in the counselors office actually yeah pretty much all of it. I also was there for all of third period. but in fourth period math I also hate my teacher so that didn't go well. I was working on a work sheet and I just threw up because of stress of a test. Then I got on my bus and went home and booted my brother off the play station and played some Need For Speed. Okay so after that break I went outside to hang out with my neighbors and we played a game called robbery we made up a new money term. "Google" and it was worth any number and then 100 zeros. Finally for dinner I had hotdogs.

And that concludes Day one of 10/20/15

Keegan Beebe

I'm going to start doing this thing every night. One day in my life. Basically I will tell you what I did but it will be to my future self. You don't need to read it if you don't want to. If I do not post it I will post it the very next day. I am also going to start a new page. When I woke up. Basically the same thing as One day in the life except one morning in the life. :/

Crush to love

Okay so if you have read my post the last  few days you know that I have a crush on a girl Olivia. Anyway you know that she turned me down, but I think I have more feelings than like... I think I'm in love. This love isn't any normal boyfriend girlfriend type love it is a strong real love. I know I'm just in middle school, but I think I found true love. Let me tell you about Olivia. Olivia is an A student her parents don't take anything less. She is a vegetarian. She loves dogs. We love the same music, (clean hip-hop, pop(no cuss words),and Christian). We wake up at the same time. We are perfect she does whatever I do and I do whatever she does.

So today the highlight of my day was seeing Olivia my perfect girl. but she isn't because she doesn't like me and that's killing me from the inside out. This isn't just my average player crush I like her for her I don't want her to change. My friend said why do you like her she's not even that pretty. I said I don't like her for looks I like her for her. I like her because she is nice and kind. You know I'm to shy to ask her a reason for why she said no because I'm worried it will ruin our friendship.

Okay so I was up all night but I drank coffee #coffee rocks. But anyways I crashed in math my caffeine had worn off and I was tired as hell. anyways you guys remember Olivia the perfect girl I actually have feelings for her and not just an occupation to stare at. I love Olivia but she doesn't love me :(. Well you know one thing. We will be friends all they way till eight grade.

Okay so this is how my entire life has went.
On April second 2003 I Michael Keegan Beebe was born. surprise I'm only twelve.
This was an important day in my life because well I wouldn't be here if that day didn't exist.
When I was 2 moms sisters daughter accidently dropped me down like 3 stairs and I broke my foot. :/ anyway that was my first trip ever to the emergency oh wait I was held there for 3 days after I was born because of water in my lung. but back to my foot I was in a cast for I think 4 months so yeah. now fast forward to when I was three. My dad was reading my brother and I the bible and I was sitting on the edge of my bed. and I fell and hit my sharp dresser and humpty dumpty at on a wall humpty dumpty had a great fall and crack went my head. now in November when I was five was my first day of K grade  and I hated evergreen and they hatted me. when I was in K grade I had the most traumatic experience of my life the class bully tripped me and everyone in the entire class laughed so hard at me falling. I literally ran out of the classroom and locked myself in a bathroom stall and didn't come out till the end of the day.  Now fast forward to in-between first and second grade when 1 was 7 years old there are two cute girls behind my house (I got one of them after this) but I was riding my bike and I went down this steep hill and hit one rock. and I flipped and flipped and flipped and flipped and amazingly only broke two arms but my back wrist feet and shoulders all pop and crack now. I wish I could take that day back but then I wouldn't get the girl. now fast-forward to when I'm in the third grade. I was on this allergy medicine and with another medicine caused hallucinations and they were of people beating other people up and I brought a knife to school. that's the end of the story but A police officer came and I was suspended for two weeks and that was it I didn't come back for two weeks. now forth and fifth grade were good years in forth I had the best teacher Mrs. Motley and she helped me get A-B honor roll all but for one quarter and I had a 79 C+ fast -forward to sixth grade my worst year. I had about 170 lunch detections about 120 in school detections surprisingly only 1 detection ever for math witch I hated math well who doesn't. now fast forward Monday October nineteenth today when I'm writing this and in seventh grade witch I'm doing awesome in thanks for asking and I love it all my teachers are so nice accept for my aid in math Mrs.Handcock she is the meanest aid I have ever had EVER! anyway that's the summery of my entire life.


Hope you enjoyed my life and I look forward to your comments

Okay so this mostly applies to collage high middle and elementary every grade and these tips are for STUDYING

• STUDY most of us say we study but to be honest do most of us study be honest please don't lie you really don't study unless your a nerd or super smart (nerd is a compliment for smart)
• Have a playlist full of slow pace but with words so you don't fall asleep but you want it to be songs you don't listen to on the bus to school. you will want to sing and listen to the songs if you love them.
• for most people don't study for 48 hours a day 8 days a week study for about 30 minutes a day. you don't want to cram it 30 minutes to an hour is the magic number. If you hate social study's you might want to study longer.

Hope you enjoy these tips and I hope they can help you

• If you have trouble waking up in the morning then you can either put coffee beans in a bag and sniff it in the morning the fumes will make your body think you are drinking coffee but your not and for middle school students this can really help but if your hardcore like me then your can just drink coffee. ;)
