I’ve been pretty busy with school, this is finals week for me and a few projects are due at the end of the week. However, I have been pretty lazy with getting school work done, and I am slightly behind. On the other hand though, I have finished scripting a simple replay hosting script for Warcraft 2. You can start browsing the replays here.
There are a few things I would like to be able to do with this script, but it won’t be anytime soon. First off, if it is a dk2 (warvid) video, it would be cool if users can stream the video right off of the website as opposed to downloading and loading warvid. However, this will take a lot of work for video formatting and conversions. The other problem would be bandwidth. I have enough bandwidth for a few videos here and there, but if a lot of people are viewing, the server may not have enough.
I have been very busy indeed! Other than school and all the other things I am currently trying to do, I have a broken electrical line that I need to be fixing. I finally got my chance this weekend since all the snow has melted, and it was rather sunny. This is just to continue my previous posts about my range/oven problem here, here, here and here. First off, the disclaimer! I am not responsible for any of your actions resulting from reading this web page. What you do is your responsibility. Leave this to professionals, or really cheap people only! You have been warned.
This project took me two whole days! At first, I thought it was going to take around 3 – 5 hours, boy was I wrong. Running those wires in the conduit took especially long since I have to be underneath my mobile home crawling and sniffing on spider poo. I did not take all the pictures, but these are the items that I found useful for this project:
- Wires
- 3/4" conduit (couplings, elbows?, glue and the works)
- Wire cutter
- Exacto knife
- Hacksaw
- Electrical tape
- Screw driver
- Brain
- Old clothes that you’re not afraid of getting ruined
- Drill
- Flashlight

As I have mentioned last time about the wiring in this mobile home, it’s all completely aluminum. This is not a good thing for me, but since I already own the place I will have to live with it. The recent phenomena of my range/oven not working is due to some corosion in the aluminum wiring to the house. I have decided to abandon the existing wiring and run one below the mobile home. I came to this decision because of a variety of reason, but of course, the biggest reason is that it is the simplest way.
