March 9th, 2010So a new Tron Legacy trailer has been released. I remember watching tron when I was little and remember how much that movie motivated me even more to continue to fiddle and dink around with computers. It left me inspired and wanting more. I remember how it made me feel “I want to do that”. And now 25+ years later, here is the sequel. So far it looks very promising. My fingers are crossed for this one for sure! So with out further ado, here it is! (This is a fulfilling trailer but it doesn’t reveal too much for those that don’t like trailers that do that) 
First trailer, which I found to be better than the current 
And while we’re listing trailers, here’s the 1982 Tron trailer.

March 6th, 2010HA, thought this was some Fantastic Four article? Think again! The other day some friends pointed me out to the coolest site to generate images that are similar to flam3. This one is called flame (minus the leet speak!). This painting program requires java, so if you have it disabled, be sure to enable it for this site as it’s totally worth it. Flame allows you to choose certain options to control the random movement generated within the “paint box”. You can change your color, saturation, opacity, fade, size, softness, make it more chaotic, more noisy and then at the end save the thing and use it as a background or share it with your friends. The creator has a few other cool “paint boxes” that you should check out but flame is by far my favorite so far. Here are some of the pictures I’ve created, let me know how you like them and feel free to post links in the comments below of the ones you create so we can share! Related posts
February 27th, 2010Announced with the new Palm Pre WebOS 1.4.0, there will be a plugin available for Adobe Flash 10.1 beta support. Said plugin is not available yet but will be in the near future. Now I can wish, with the rest of you, and pray for a slow and painful death for adobe flash when html5 is finally released but I really doubt that it will happen. More and more I’m seeing custom flash API’s being implemented and I doubt anyone is going to want to change that when HTML5 comes out. Though I can’t read into the future and say one way or the other, I think we will see a good mix of HTML5 video and Flash on popular streaming video websites. This is really disappointing for us iPhone users out there though. I don’t want to be restricted to just YouTube content, I want to be able to view whatever with my phone. Before you start to bash me saying “Duh it’s your own dumb fault for having an iPhone” etc. etc., I know. And with this plugin for the Palm Pre it even surpasses the Android phones in supporting flash because only Android 2.1 can received the flash plugin. The only phones to carry that software are the Nexus One and Motorola Droid. So my conclusion is this, the iPhone will probably never receive flash due to AT&T and their 3G network being overloaded. So I will just have to wait until my contract is up and switch back to T-Mobile and grab a Nexus One. Related posts
February 26th, 2010Yes, that’s right. Quit trying to quit Google. I’ve been reading a few articles lately that are suggesting that you should quit Google, some that don’t give a good reason and others that give no reason at all. Before I continue on there are a few things we must clear the air with. I’m not trying to convince you to stay with Google. If you want to leave, so be it! I’m not against other options but some of these options just aren’t that great and you are probably worse off using them. If you are wanting to quit Google because they are becoming “too large”, please put your tin foil hat on now and walk away. You use the Internet for fsck sakes, it’s like spreading your seed where ever you go. SearchI’ve seen lots of recommendations to Bing and Yahoo. I haven’t used those sites for years, there’s a reason for that. Google rocks their tubsocks off. Granted I know Bing is new but it’s just MSN rebranded with a few visual tweaks. That also seems to be the “key” benifit for all these articles recommended it. Seriously? When I search for something, I want it to be fast. Show me the results! Saying that they are trying to enhance the visual appeal over the clutter would be like putting a clean diaper over a dirty one and putting it back on the baby. Just cuz it looks new on the inside and outside doesn’t hide the fact that there is still shit in the diaper. You want an alternative, try ask.com. This is the one that bothered me the most. So grab your tin foil hat, body suit and shield your house because they might be listening……. Back to our tin foil, you’re worried about Google spying on you. Using your information against you. Um… ! Well switching to Windows Live could be worse than what we think we know about Google. Some info was posted today about a Microsoft Handbook being leaked about what they do with their information if the police ever ask for it. They even yelled “DMCA” like a little boy crying wolf which took down the site that reported the document leak that undoubtedly the public as the right to know about. All in all, if you are that worried about your E-Mail and other stuff being read then stop using any site that requires any sort of login. In fact I suggest you just stop using the Internet all together. SummaryGoogle’s services are much faster and filled with less clutter. Yes, they had their Buzz issue but Windows has bugs that effect XP that Microsoft takes weeks to fix or say that they will never fix it. I think that Google shows time and again that they care about the users more than their competitors do. No one can be perfect and there will always be the corporate bullshit. You just will have to decide what to accept and either accept it or move along. Related posts
February 17th, 2010Thanks to Dominic for emailing me about the mlt and openshot build issues. I’ve corrected the problems and submitted the updates to slackbuilds.org. In the mean time you can grab the builds from my site. I’ve also added two sbopkg queue files that you can download to make the whole process easier. I suggest checking out, http://www.sbopkg.org/queues.php and http://www.sbopkg.org/queues/13.0/ (hint, ffmpeg queue lives there). Related posts

January 17th, 2010This assumes you already have a DNS server setup that has a static IP, IE: a webserver that is also doing DNS(like mine). If you have a webserver but currently don’t host your own DNS, you can do a bit of research and set it up with in an hour or so. Anyways, that’s not what this how to is for. Get on your webserver grep directory /etc/named.conf cd into the directory displayed. Create a dnssec key <pre escaped="true">dnssec-keygen -a hmac-md5 -b 512 -n HOST -r /dev/urandom subdomain.domain.com. Make sure that you put the period at the end of your domain. The subdomain should be the name of your untangle box or whatever machine you’re trying to setup for ddns. cat Ksubdomain.domain.com.+005+RANDOM#.key replace RANDOM with whaterver the .key file has. subdomain.domain.com. IN KEY 512 3 157 UR4Bu3vzaTYUtmzQA4hJl6GzRwRhY9CoWS2V1ukF6nUfSt0vxKCsEoq6 WAuDCySzmPINAtSD/OjWJfgB5eAVsA== We want the very long string. Make note of this for the next step. If it has a space in the string, you still want every bit after it. It threw me off when i had a space in it and i wasn’t sure what i needed until i tried the different combinations and fount that it was the whole string. Edit the named.conf key "subdomain.domain.com." { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "UR4Bu3vzaTYUtmzQA4hJl6GzRwRhY9CoWS2V1ukF6nUfSt0vxKCsEoq6 WAuDCySzmPINAtSD/OjWJfgB5eAVsA=="; }; Now, under your zone (domain.com.) add the following allow-update { key "subdomain.domain.com."; }; All done, now /etc/init.d/bind9 reload Now, SSH into your Untangle server scp -P 22 root@webserver.com:/var/named/Ksubdomain.domain.com.* . /var/named = directory that we found out from your named.conf on your webserver Create a file named ddupate #!/bin/bash # Script to update DNS zones on a remote server # Copyright © 2005-2007 - Julien Valroff # Parts of the script Copyright © 2001-2002 - Dag Wieers KEY="/root/Kkeyname.+157+29630.private" SERVER="ns.domain.com" LOGFILE="/var/log/syslog" PPP_IFACE="ppp0" DOMAIN="domain.com." HOST="subdomain.domain.com." EMAIL="you@domain.com" if [ "$PPP_LOCAL" != '' ]; then if [ "$PPP_IFACE" != "$PPP_IFACE" ]; then echo "$(LANG=C date +'%b %e %X') $(hostname) ddupdate[$$]: ABORTED: Not updating dynamic IP \ address $PPP_LOCAL (already done for $(ip addr show $PPP_IFACE | awk '/inet/ { print $2 }'))" >>$LOGFILE 2>&1 exit 0 fi IPADDR=$PPP_LOCAL sleep 3 else IPADDR=$(ip addr show $PPP_IFACE | awk '/inet/ { print $2 }') fi ( cat <>$LOGFILE 2>&1 exit $RC You will want to change the variables at the top to fit your needs. Make this file executable chmod +x ddupatePlace this file in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d Now execute it /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ddupdate Check your syslogs for both servers. if you don’t have any errors that look like ; TSIG error with server: tsig indicates error update failed: NOTAUTH(BADSIG) You have successfully setup a ddns server Everytime your IP changes (release and renew), this script should get ran. You could also run this in a cronjob. Trouble shooting resources and thanks go to: Related posts
