So have fun using it and enjoi…

One question and leave your answers in the comments. Will you pay for phplyfox if it was payware? or would you just say F that I’m not gonna pay for anything..?

Click to playHello everyone. I have Joost you know that IPTV beta software. It’s cool, I like it. Do you want an invite from me? I have lots of invites to give out, if you want an invite just leave a comment with your Name and Email and I will send you an invite. Your welcome.

Update: I finally built my computer this week and I installed OSx86 on it. Although since now I have two machines I kinda just want one machine, So I kinda also thinking of buying one of the newer versions of the mac which runs on the intel processor that way I can use VMware or Parallels to run Windows & Linux. Since I built my machine I’ll still use it for the time being. Oh yeah I almost forgot here are some photos on my flickr page.
So I am building my first computer, yay! for me. eh whatever…. Anyways since I will soon have Windows & Linux installed. Maybe I’ll make lyfox work better on windows perhaps include that one button download people are requesting. I am thinking installing a frankenstein version of OSX onto it since OSX is now intel based, We’ll see how far I get.

So today I used the ln utility or link utility, so here is how you make a symbolic link, trust me they are very useful especially when you have external Hard Drives.

Open the Terminal. Type, cd ~/ that will put you in your home directory.
Okay now. look for your target, in my case I was practicing some Ruby On Rails stuff because I am a noob at it. Not stupid just new with it and I don’t always have time, anyways the case is that I keep all my RoR files in my external hard drives which has the path /Volumes/Mac\ HD/FernyB/~ror

I get tired or typing that everytime so I finally created a symbolic link in my home directory. So now I type
cd ~/~ror and that will drop me into the directory where I keep my RoR files which again is /Volumes/Mac\ HD/FernyB/~ror

To create the symbolic link type ln -fs /Volumes/Mac\ HD/FernyB/~ror ~/~ror
So now when I am in my home directory all I type is cd ~/~ror and this will put me into the /Volumes/Mac\ HD/FernyB/~ror directory. So if I type pwd the path will show as /Users/FernyB/~ror.

See that is why symbolic links are cool….

So today I was messing around with php & growl. So here is tip for getting started. First download growl if you dont have it already. Next install the php pear package

Once you have all the set-up. Go into your System Preferences and go into the Network tab in the growl settings. While in the Network tab make sure you click on “Listen for incoming notifications” & “Allow remote application registration” and set the password. I set my password to “123456″

Now type this piece of code.

The first time you run the file through your web browser OSX will prompt you with a message.
Just Click Always Allow unless you have a reason not to.

So once you have done everything from above you should now see a message like the one below.

Wasn’t that cool! so here are the all my files I used.

Fuck yeah! Finally, I get to use all these wonderful homebrew apps. I have a PSP firmware version 3.03 and today I have downgraded to 1.5 then to the custom 3.03, now I can use the good stuff. Oh yeah! OMG this is a day in history. [digg]

It no longer works.

So sometimes you know people on myspace that only let specific users view their profile that is their profile is in private mode in any case you want to see the photos they have. So I tried this on a few profiles and it freaking worked I was able to view the profiles photos and let me tell ya its soo cool. hahaha.
Thanks to the guys over at UneasySilence.com for this one, thanks dan. Here is the link try it yourself (watch out its full of ads).

Update: Listen to your Last.fm streaming radio on the Roku SoundBridge Using LastBridge.net.
LastBridge.net makes it really simple to listen to your last.fm music on the soundbridge. If that is what you are looking for then check out it out! www.LastBridge.net.

Updated Post

So a while ago, maybe 7 months ago I bought the Roku SoundBridge and I do like it. Recently I have been listening to a lot of last.fm to my personal radio / loved tracks. So while listening to last.fm I didn’t always want the computer to be on so I googled to see if there was any solutions. I found one but it was some kinda server written in python. I didn’t test it but from the read me file it seems you need to have your computer turned on. Which is what I am trying to avoid. Now I came up with my solution.

It’s basically a controller. You can use your a PSP that is if you have one, I do so I use that to control it when I am away from my computer. It uses a playlist file to play your last.fm radio stream. So not only can you use this playlist file with the roku soundbridge but also with other media players and its controlled via a web based controller.

It is written in PHP.
You can download it here. last.fm-for-roku-soundbridge-etc.zip

It’s super easy to setup. Just open the config.php file with a plain text editor and insert your username and password. The password need to be in md5. With Mac OSX you can open up Terminal and get your md5 that way. Type this in the termnial.
md5 -s [your_password]
of course replace [your_password] with your actual password and it then will generate an md5. If your on windows I don’t know how you would get an md5 but I found this app useful to get the md5sum.
fourmilab.ch/md5/ .zip file contain the md5.exe. Enjoy.

Oh yeah before I forget you will need a web server with php installed and with cURL. Thats it.
If you need a free php web host then here is a list 0php.com/free_PHP_hosting.php or you can always just search for one, although it’s always best to just buy web hosting its not expensive.

I use last.fm and I got to say its very cool. I used pandora.com but I never liked it much. I like the idea. On the other hand I also used Last.fm and I got to say I love it. I actually did find new music by different bands/artists. So when I’m hacking/programming I like listening to Last.fm because its always the music I like and yes I am a paying subscriber to Last.fm.

So here is my last.fm songs. I am not sure if this will work. It just might work.
I am listening to. Capitol K - Pillow its freaking awesome.

Revolution OS a documentary about GNU Linux. Its cool, I like it. check it out.
