I tend to watch for Galleon-related threads on TCF and came across this one earlier this week. Basically it was reported that after making changes in the Music Player options, those changes would not be saved. I don’t really use the music player options but always enjoy a debugging challenge so decided to check it [...]

WIJFR: Daemon
Gaming genius Matthew Sobol, the 34-year-old head of CyberStorm Entertainment, has just died of brain cancer, but death doesn’t stop him from initiating an all-out Internet war against humanity. When the authorities investigate Sobol’s mansion in Thousand Oaks, Calif., they find themselves under attack from his empty house, aided by an unmanned Hummer that tears [...]
Foscam FI8904W outdoor internet camera
I’ve been pleased so far with my in-house internet cameras and decided I’d like to be able to keep tabs on the outside of the house as well. TrendNet sells weatherproof enclosures for their cameras but they won’t work with the night-vision models because the IR just reflects off of the glass. I started looking [...]
Inception
Over the weekend I went and saw “Inception.” I didn’t know much about it except that the trailer looked pretty sweet and I had been hearing good reviews about it. I really enjoyed it! It was like the mind/memory games of “Total Recall” combined with a heist film like “The Usual Suspects” with a healthy [...]

Jailbreaking my iPhone
I couldn’t resist any longer: the recent exceptions added to the DMCA for jailbreaking allowed for the return of jailbreakme.com, the easiest way yet to jailbreak your iPhone. Just about every podcast I listen to/watch had talked about this and demoed it live so I figured what the heck? I made a full backup of [...]
New theme
You might notice a slightly different look to the blog today, compared to yesterday (or the last time you visited). I switched from Srini G’s Fluid Blue theme (which I’ve been using ever since I moved to WordPress) to his updated F2 theme (which is basically Fluid Blue optimized for WordPress 3.x). Other than moving [...]
