About
I’m Brian DeHamer. I lve in San Diego, CA with my wife, two young kids and a healthy obsession with technology. I’m currently employed by Hewlett-Packard Company as a software engineer and work from home full-time.
The title of this blog is derived from the word “hammerspace”:
ham·mer·space -noun: an imagined, extradimensional, instantly accessible storage area that allows cartoon characters to have access to practically any item they wish without impeding the plot.
Hammerspace is that physical dimension that Bugs Bunny reaches into to pull out the mallet/anvil/shotgun which seems to materialize out of thin air or from behind his back (See the hammerspace entry on Wikipedia for more info). Being a bit of a nerd myself, I always appreciated the fact that someone was concerned enough with the physics of cartoons that they felt compelled to invent this concept and then give it a name.
So, from the idea of “hammerspace” and an obvious similarity to my last name we get:
de·ha·mer·space -noun: a non-imagined, instantly accessible storage area that Brian uses to store random thoughts, observations, and tips for later reference.

I don’t see any other way to sent you a message, Will i was just wondering what type of program did you go in order to work home full time, I think that’s really cool, i’m in college and would love to work home. I love latest tech
Hey Brian,
Came across your site while doing some random Google research! I really liked your blog posting about using Vista’s WinPE environment for building ready-to-install Vista images. Got everything working and the image built but ran into Adobe licensing/activation issues post-install with the image. I will have to revisit this at some point ( I believe the pre-install cleaning of the image Vista registry may be the cause of this problem) – sysprep.exe /quiet /oobe /generalize /shutdown
In any case, I did get the image to install on several of my machines and it will come in handy for future installs. Hope everything is going well for you and Anna!
Take care. By the way, I just joined Twitter (jberlet).

Hey Brian,
I recently graduated with a BS in Computer Engineering and wanted to know what you had to do to get to work from home?
Brian I followed your steps to have my emails displayed in the iphone (IMAP account). I can download all emails to the iphone, but whenever I try to send a new email via the iphone it displays an error…would you know why this happens?
