Whitehart is a very good theme.
I have been using it for a while and I thought I would let you know.
It’s the type of theme that really simplifies what Firefox shows you. It looks like someone went through the default theme and removed the color and made things a tad smaller.
I recommend it.

I really wanted to make a exhaustive list of TV shows that networks like NBC, ABC, CBS, Comedy Central and more have listed for free on their website.
Some of these shows have full catalogs and some have just the current season or clips.
I would love to have people contribute and add to the listing.
I have it hosted here on Zoho. It’s basically an open source version of Google docs plus tons of other features.

I just started to learn guitar. This chord as well as all of the others that require one finger to hold down more than one string is the bane of my guitar existance.

Must…have…stronger…fingers….
I could see somebody setting this as a cron task to send every morning so when you wake up, you get the current weather as a text message.
I am about to set it up.
Enjoy

Here is the first version of a little python program I made that will translate input from a cellphone text pad or a number pad to text.
UPDATE: VERSION 2
It’s pretty darn simple.
It would go perfect with this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/svofski/3383950702/in/pool-make
CPU: P4 or greater
VideoCard: S-Vid out, VGA, possibly TV outs
RAM: 1GB
Router:
Smoothwall installed
Wireless
Lan (in from cable modem)
Lan (out to a switch)
This $100 dollar wonder runs Linux. At least this is why I believe it does. By looking at their agreements we can see:
Certain components of the software included with the Roku Product are subject to separate license
terms, including “free” or “open source” software (“Separately Licensed Code”). Some of the Separately Licensed Code is licensed
under the terms and conditions of the “free” or “open source” license and is not subject to the License above or the Limited
Warranty below. As required by the terms of the relevant Separately Licensed Code licenses, Roku makes the “free” and “open
source” code provided under such licenses, and Roku’s modifications to such code, available on Roku’s website, at no charge. The
following third party software is also included.
Which does not defiantly mean that it runs Linux but:
This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/).
Which also does not defiantly mean Linux, but:
With it’s small form factor and the fact that it is sub-$100 and it runs off of flash memory, I believe it does.
If this is the case, then I would love to see how to stream Netflix on a normal Linux/Mac box without having to use IE.
I believe that if they are implementing IE and Windows media formats behind the scenes that they might be infringing on some sort of License agreement with Microsoft. Which sucks.

This is an image of the first paragraph on QR Codes on Wikipedia embedded in a QR code. I made it using this page: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
“A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in Japan where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional code.” – Wikipedia
QR Codes are basically our standard bar codes, but super amp’d up so they can hold a lot more information.
Here are some examples: Continue reading “QR(Quick Response) Codes”
I pretty much use ssh for everything. I use it mostly to connect to my home/web/this server and use it as an interface. The best program to use alongside ssh is screen.
To install both ssh and screen, you may do this:
If I were good with words, I would write a poem for ssh. But alas, I am not. So, you get the first page from the Wikipedia Entry.
Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged over a secure channel between two computers. Encryption provides confidentiality and integrity of data. SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow the remote computer to authenticate the user, if necessary.
Here are a few of the best SSH/SCP commands EVER:
