Modified Netflix DVD

The Netflix customer base is very large.  In every group that can be called a social circle their is usually those whom chose to not conform with rules and morality that would usually make their reality safe and sufficient to those dedicated.

I received a modified Netflix DVD.  It had never occurred to me that this could happen, although now I realize this could not only unfold dissatisfaction to the consumer and happen frequently, but also that it could well be very common though very disturbing.

The DVD was watched on a digital HD protocol connection, a 120Hz 1080(*) LCD display from a computer source modified (deinterlacing).

This could have been clever and funny, however it was not.  The frames were randomly placed.  The DVD movie is 23.9 FPS and the random positions were 1.9/23.9 (0.12%) FPS singular and random events seperated by real time, or rather randomly through the length of the movie.

Crazy shit man.

Random Thought : I will meditate and hope for the people who view this to have an existing strong mind. I don't want to get involved.

Rsync for Windows

My internet connectivity is limited at the moment.  I looked into making an incremental backup of my web data on my Windows Netbook when I visit an area with high speed Internet.

I normally have a Bash script using rsync on hamper, my home server which pulls increments daily.  When looking for Rsync for Windows, I found a Cygwin executable that does not require a Cygwin installation.  All that is needed are two libraries, in which you should put these dll's in your Windows system folder - and the executable to be placed where appropriate.

This site contains information on running the Rsync daemon as a service in Windows.  This site is also the source of: rsync.zip (hosted here).

Lifetype 1.2.10 Patch for root Blog URL Paging Bug

Lifetype 1.2.10 security release was made public just a couple hours ago.  Paging on the URL root is broken in the packages provided on Lifetype's website.

I notified the developer and he very quickly had a patch available.  This patch is only relevant if you installed the update, or full installation within a few hours of initial public release.

To patch Lifetype, change the directory to your Blog document root and issue the command "patch -p0 < ./lifetype-1.2.10-paging-patch".

VOICE Your Net Neutrality

I have placed an audio interview held in Madison, Wisconsin in front of Senator Kohl's office containing many reasons why we need to fight for net neutrality from small business owners and home web surfers.

We must act fast to send our comments about net neutrality making solid assurance that our Internet freedom to have a fair and just Internet network will be here for our future!

The deadline is tonight, midnight, to send your comments to the FCC and have your strong voice for personal freedom be noticed.

-> SAVE THE INTERNET<-

It is Squirrel Thursday! The rise of the Squirrel Army.

Here stands a Fur member, segmented from the population yet destined for the rise of power and authority over all park benches that us humans are able to utilize.

Their statue is strong, as you can see, though their fall will be harsh and fast, if I have anything to do with this mess of a Fur.  Do not stand so proud, as small game hunting season will come shortly to us humans!
