Pirate Kiosk

admin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:27:12 +0000

I know it’s not kosher to promote piracy, and I don’t really think that this is.. but I’m really stoked on the concept behind the pirate kiosk.. It’s an offline copy of the entire pirate bay which is shared out locally via wifi connection. So you can walk within range of this kiosk and snag whatever torrents you like.. then hop back online and continue on w/ your downloading.. pretty damn cool project if you ask me!

iPhone 3.1 updated breaks tethering hack?

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:06:57 +0000

Can anyone confirm that this happens on ATT? I’ve read conflicting results and if it is the case then there’s no reason to update. None of the “new features” really outweigh the tethering option.. It’s helped me out too many times to get rid of.

Unboxing my new VCI-300

I just wanted to post some pics of my unboxing of the new VCI-300. I just received it a few days ago from PSSL.com . I absolutely love it! I sold my 1200’s and SSl to downsize the footprint my gear was taking up but found myself really missing playing. This has filled the void for sure. If you’re looking for one, good luck. I ordered it and it took 3 months before Vestax even released them. PSSL had 70 come in and all were pre-ordered from what I understand. They sell for $899.00 and it’s worth every penny.

I would also like to mention that the following pics were taken with my iPhone, so sorry they’re not the highest quality.

Yep, I haven’t posted for a while so I thought I’d do an update. I recently got back from 5 weeks in Costa Rica. My wife came out for the last one. It was pretty amazing. Hot and humid for sure. I came back to perfect Utah weather but now, once again, it’s hot.Bikes in CR

I think that this is really cool! I don’t know if I could do it myself, but I’m really impressed.

Flash Player 9.0.115.0 broke my browser (on Leopard)

admin — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 02:23:56 +0000

The other day I installed the newest version of Flash Player, which is 9.0.115.0, without really thinking much of it. Suddenly I when I went to certain sites that contained flash content, my browser would freeze and I had to force quite the app and restart it in order to continue. It was really annoying because it would be random. It wasn’t with ALL sites that contained flash, but just some of them. I noticed that if you watched a YouTube video or any other flash video, and it played to the end, that it would freeze up then as well. The last straw was when my wife went to look at her Nike+ page and that wouldn’t even load (being all flash), it would instantly freeze the browser. This happened with both Safari and Firefox.

I looked around online and couldn’t find anything on it, so I thought I’d try to revert to an older version of Flash Player and see if that fixed it. Sure enough, that did it. I just reverted to an older version of Flash Player 9 and everything is running smoothly.

Get your old Flash Player version here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266

I didn’t worry about doing an “uninstall” of any sort, I just ran the old installer and restarted my machine.

Hopefully this will help others with the same problem!

Bio Diesel

These days everyone has heard of bio-diesel but how many of you really understand what it is. I came across this Youtube video that explains it all.. Be sure to watch the second part that will link from the end of the video. Check it out!

Here’s a page with a lot of different videos on making it yourself, but none of them are completely helpful.. They will give you a basic idea on how to make it though.

So, I was doing homework and studying for this test on Thursday when Lizzie called me and said she got free tickets to the Airwaves show tonight.. of course, as the good student I am, I told her that I should probably stay and keep studying.. but being the blink and airwaves fan I am, I decided to go and enjoyed the free show!!! Here are some pics.. Those guys are amazing live..

Ok, so it’s been a while.. I believe that since the last post, we’ve moved back to salt lake, driven to ND for the holidays, I’ve started school and learned to use public transportation and lizzie started a new position at the canyons.. (it’s been a slow month).

What I really want to talk about now, though, is a new IDE that I found which kicks ass!!!! It’s called Coda and it’s from Panic! Software (makers of the ever so beautiful Transmit FTP client. This app is so nice and so perfectly made I don’t think I will ever use anything else. It takes everything I liked about Dreamweaver and puts it into a super streamlined package. Code-hinting, auto tag closing, super fast FTP, site management, CSS awesome and it all is encapsulated into one window.. best of all worlds!! :] If you haven’t seen it, I definitely recommend you check it out! http://www.panic.com/coda/

This is a pretty sweet idea.. now to produce it so that it doesn’t look so ugly..
