So with the release of Itunes 4.9 I’ve been listening to a number of Podcasts. While I was never a fan of this “podcasting” thing before – Itunes makes it simple and nice. On the iPod if you center click on normal songs a few times – it would allow you to “rate” the song [...]

Averatec & ATI
Aparently Averatec & ATI are in cahoots w/ each other. ATI refuses to provide any drivers for the Mobility Radeon 9600 I have in this machine. I’m sorry, even if the machines are specalized, they should at leave have a generic copy of their mobility drivers. Basically what ATI said to me is that they’d [...]
Stuck Bot.
So I was just looking over the logs of my “nifty toys” – the many copies of wposion I installed previously. I saw that one bot from IP address 65.19.150.250 got stuck on the very very first scrip in the series. That bot ended up loading the scipt 471 times – For a total of [...]
NEVER BUY AVERATEC
The title is self explanitory. IF you were thinking about buying an Averatec notebook (laptop) computer – DONT DO IT. I have a 6100 – As I have mentioned before – And it needs new drivers. Most companies release new drivers every few months – well – Its been 9 months since I bought my [...]
I hate IIS – Microsoft needs to die
So – one of the great things that I figured out how to use the other day was XSSI, the extended set of server side include directions. Of course, Apache supports this no problem, even in 1.3.x – but IIS doesn’t. So if you want to make a website using XSSI (aka If statements w/ [...]
Bots?
Aparently the bots are back at the site – as the view count on all my posts is above 5. I’ll have to investigate and BAN THEM. I’ve also discovered that w/ the right regex trickery – SSI can do the most magical of things. I’ll post an example latter – once I’ve gotten my [...]
Outfoxed
Yes its been on slashdot, etc – but I actually did download and try Outfoxed. Its a nice plugin for Firefox – its basically a page ranking tool (along with other nifty features like running proccess information). I have to say its very unobtrusive & very easy to use/submit. You can see my informer page [...]
Dangerous is Photography
Today I saw the headline on yahoo about Copyright worries with Digital Pictures which is rather intesting. I also found NPR audio-article about photographers being harrased on the basis of “national security” or what not. Its all a bit scary to think about, but it seems rather typical in this day in age. Heck, look [...]
Silly 7960′s
Brought a new 7960 online today in the office – and it paper weighted itself. It loaded up the Universal Application Loader, but then refused to load the new SIP firmware. I found two things that are useful, first Voip-info.org has a useful bit and second – pay very close attention the the TFTP server [...]
DivX 6
DivX 6 is out, as everyone on the net knows about. I thought it was preety nifty, and all the test I saw looked good. Recently I have been coverting some of my DVD’s to HD (mainly Anime). I had a VOB file laying around from the last batch so I gave the DivX Converter [...]
