Comment on IT Watchdogs SuperGoose (WxGoos-2) Review by cense

Thanks for the comment, Gary. I’m happy to see IT Watchdogs has their ear to the ground and are reading what people are saying about your products.

Your reasoning for the DC power brick makes a ton of sense, now that you mention it. Since you have a lot of customers installing these things in non-datacenter environments, the available power isn’t always going to be 120VAC as you mention. Thanks for clarifying!

Cense:
Just wanted to say, thanks for the review, and we’re glad you’re finding it useful!

Since you brought up the issue of the DC power supply: one reason we went with an external “wall wart” supply with a DC barrel-plug connection is that we have a surprising number of customers who use these in non-datacenter environments such as telecom bunkers, radio towers, and so on, and these customers often want to run the unit off of an existing DC power system (battery banks, solar cells, etc.) rather than 120VAC. Using an external power supply also helps keep the power supply’s heat from influencing the internal temperature sensor.

For those looking for a way to also switch off audio input, don’t bother with the Sound PrefPane, but go directly to Audio-MIDI-Setup and check all the mute buttons for the integrated microphone input.

I wish i understood this stuff better, but since i don’t, i’m grateful you were willing to come up with an on/off switch. Works like a charm! Thanks!

I also have lost the Software Volume control when soldering a new headphone jack on a Gen 1 32GB iPod Touch. I have gone through 3 headphone jacks so far. I can faintly hear sound, but no volume increase or decrease to be seen. I was wondering if there was any luck with other headphone jacks as I’m not so sure i’m shorting them all out in the same way.

SGID could be what you’re looking for. It will set the default create group for the directory.

Have you tried checking the skype forums? Sorry, I don’t have any particular knowledge that can help you with this but if you ask on the skype forums, maybe someone there can help you.
