On about the 4th or 5th day of my trip back home, I got frustrated with my parents dial-up internet and decided to check if any of the neighbors had an open wifi connection I could (all ethics aside) use to check my email. So, I turned on my iPhone, found one, and to my surprise , it is available city-wide.

A little disappointed that it's not free (really disappointed at the listed prices), but hey, my hometown is tiny and it's way more than I ever expected.

After watching Jon Lajoie's latest Youtube video, I wanted to see if his music was available through Baidu's MP3 search. Being at work, I have access to proxies from all over the world, so I first started with my Chinese proxy and I got six of his songs available for download, for free (and I imagine without his consent).

This is a screen cast I made a while back showing an easy way to install a video screen capture program for Ubuntu. I made this using a virtual installation of Ubuntu 8.04, but this will work for 8.10 and 9.04 as well.

When I first started using Ubuntu, about a year and a half ago, I was really impressed with the preloaded Brasero CD/DVD burning software. However, after some updates, it got kind of difficult and less user friendly, so I started searching for an alternative. What I found is a nice little software called K3b.
