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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS
I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 when it first came out two weeks ago and since then have been running into small annoyances/bugs.
TrendNet internet cameras
Another piece of tech I implemented before we went on our vacation roadtrip was a series of TrendNet wireless internet cameras so we could keep an eye on the house while we were away.
Acer Aspire Revo 3610
My Dell OptiPlex Linux server was getting louder and hotter in its old age. For the past three years it has been running 24×7 as my media server in the closet. The fan in the power supply had started to whine (especially when the CPU was maxed), and I already lost one hard drive to [...]
Leaping with the Lucid Lynx
Ubuntu 10.4 (Lucid Lynx) was released last week so over the weekend I completed three installs. I did a clean install (from a USB thumb drive) onto my sandbox EeePC 4G Surf that was running an older build of Chrome. Ubuntu now calls this smaller build the UNE (netbook edition) instead of the UNR (netbook [...]
More Wii homebrew: running games from a USB hard drive
I dabbled in Wii homebrew last year but didn’t do much beyond getting the Homebrew Channel working and messing around with a few apps. Then last week I saw this post on Lifehacker and thought, I have got to try this. The Lifehacker tutorial is pretty straightforward … the Wii hacking community has done some [...]
Jungle Disk on the iPhone
Today Rackspace announced the availability of Jungle Disk for the iPhone. I can now finally access all of my files backed up on Amazon S3 while on the go, pretty cool! Unlike the desktop version, however, the iPhone app is only for accessing files already on your S3 account. You can delete files from your [...]
It was time to upgrade
March 1 is quickly approaching and starting Monday, people who are still running the Release Candidate of Windows 7 will start seeing the expiration message. I’ve been running the RC at home since May of last year and knew this time would eventually come, so this past week I purchased the Home Premium upgrade media [...]
