I tried it a while back from time to time but never got serious in completing it.
Now with the help of php link directory script I had started a fully functional web directory! Yey!

Submission have been flowing in even when I had a trial version so hopefully things will start to pick up.

A birthday gift from my kids- 80 gigs Intel solid state drive!
Been wanting one ever since I read about if on Popular science magazine a while back and man- those sad are really blazing fast!
I had to pull myself away from my computer because it felt like a new and much faster computer since I had finished the win 7 install and updates. Ran into some snags like unable to find the 4th hd on the sata array which the Asus board have 5.
Got that fixed with the help of a couple site with tips. I’ll create a different post about it later.

One issue though that might annoy me later on.  You need to turn off your wireless to have it in accurate working mode.  There seems to have some kind of conflict with the wireless and the gps signal.  Some people might say “so? you don’t use wireless when you drive” but other geeks like me that have a broadband card working on a Cradlepoint WiPipe might beg to differ…

2 – Hold down the POWER/SLEEP button for 2 seconds
3 – After the 2 seconds , hold down the bottom button along with the power button for 10 seconds exactly.
4 – After the ten seconds, release the power button and continue holding the bottom button until your computer makes a noise and iTunes says that your device is in recovery mode.
5 – Your device is now in DFU mode!

Now you can restore it to a custom firmware by holding down SHIFT and clicking RESTORE.

Find the firmware file and hit open. iTunes will do the rest.

The setup instructions looks easy enough to tackle so I went ahead and started the process.
I followed all the steps and breeze right thru it. I got stuck on the OS installation because my XP install disc has a couple of corrupt files so I had to use backup discs and swap them as the files gets copied to the virtual hard drive. i think i had done more than 30 swaps throughout the installation process but I had perseverance tucked under my arm and goes thru the installation.
Yehey! it asked me for the CD key! all done.

What amazes me is that 1-click record option. You click on on and you’re done! Of course there is a way to customize the 1-click record option to your preference like priority, video quality recording, keep until, start time and finish time.

There’s also an option to do a 1-click season pass but I haven’t tried that button yet.

The tivo tv listing guide also has that feature where you can select the full screen tv guide or the regular screen with navigational bar on the left side.

Overall I’m impressed on tivo effort in making the user experience less painful.

Also, one of the great feature of this Samsung Bd-C6500 Blu-Ray player is the built-in Wireless Lan.  Some blu-ray/dvd player that’s out in the market today needs an accessory to connect to your wireless lan in order to take advantage of the Internet capabilities of these new media players.

Recently, we had been watching Netflix thru this Samsung BD-c6500 Disc Player and with the HD streaming from Netflix it makes the picture quality very pleasant to view.

Now the question is, which device should I use?  Should I pull out my netbook? Do I patch in my BB 9700? Or should I just use my Ipod Touch? hmmmm….. NAAHHHH!!! I’m too freakin wasted from last night’s drinking binge I can’t barely even keep my eyes open!!

Media Player

  • Video format support: XviD partially supported, H.263, H.264, WMV3, MPEG4, Sorenson Spark & On2 VP6 (Flash support)
  • Audio format support: .3gp, MP3, WMA9 (.wma/.asf), WMA9 Pro / WMA 10, MIDI, AMR-NB, Professional AAC/AAC+/eAAC+

but after reading a couple of articles out from the web it looks like they haven’t come up with the software to play those damn flash videos!!!  sucks!
