New Projects

I thought it would be nice to have the ability to easily access everything on my file server here at home from virtually any location. I’ve been meaning to work on a project like this for a while now and I recently had some time to get it done.

My file server ‘Cerebellum’ runs Windows Server 2003 so I needed to find a software solution that was fully compatible. I settled on Abyss Web Server, Abyss is a wicked small directory serving application that is extremely easy to setup and use. The best part is the fully functional X1 version of Abyss is available for download for free.

It took about 4 hours to get everything going. That includes the DynDNS setup, port forwarding, a little design work and a simple login script. It really didn’t take long at all and once I got the kinks worked out with my router everything else went without a hitch.

You can take a peek at Cerebellum by clicking here. I won’t publicly release the login for obvious reasons, not that the login is secure by any means at the moment but it will keep honest people out. So if you want to actually get in to browse the server you need to contact me for the login.
