Dean(ish) : Remotely Control Windows Media Center with Remote Potato

Sun, 19 Sep 2010 15:04:25 +0000

I don't think Remote Potato works with Vista. The version of Media Center on Win7 is a little bit different. Sorry.

Hey, I'm glad you got your DynDNS login to work - that's way easier than having to guess your dynamic IP address every time. :)

I'm going to see The Expendables with a bunch of friends tonight - I hope you're wrong!

I love my Captivate and the Swype keyboard, so I have no use for the physical keyboard on the Epic. But if you're on Sprint and want a new phone, the Galaxy S phones are about the best out there right now.

I don't want to be a downer, but 2.1 on the Backflip will probably never happen.

I know that when I try to access Remote Potato from another PC on my network, it doesn't work. I have to use a PC outside of my network to get into it. My main PC is wired into my router (not wireless) - are you saying that you have yours wired straight into your modem? How is it on your network without going through your router? In any event, I would recommend dropping a line on the Remote Potato forums http://remotepotatoforums.fatattitude.com/ for additional assistance with this, as I'm not the most experienced when it comes to network engineering. That's why I wrote this tutorial, actually - I know just enough to get it done, but I can't really help with troubleshooting without being able to actually play with your setup.

Just Another iPhone Blog : Two takes on iOS 4

I can see the logic behind limiting the folders to 12 apps, but being limited (in general) still sucks. I'd rather see 12 at once, and then be able to scroll vertically through the folder if needed to go beyond the 12.

Just Another iPhone Blog : Lovely iPhone Headlines - Apple Hires Designer of WebOS' Notification System

The current iOS notification system is fine if you use LockInfo but the stock notification system leaves much to be desired. One of webOS' main strengths is their notifications system, so this can be nothing but good news.

I'll be jailbreaking iOS4 as well - SBSettings, LockInfo and its add-ons, Grooveshark, and custom SMS tones are my main reasons for jailbreaking. (Backgrounder is another main reason currently, but that'll be a non-issue once iOS4 comes out.) I'm not sure how I'm going to utilize the folders yet. I have my screens sorted by app type (utilities, games, etc). I have two screens of games alphabetized currently, but since I can't put all 32 games in the same folder I'll have to be a little more creative about how I separate them - perhaps "Puzzle Games", "Kids Games", "Action Games", etc. Being able to put folders in the dock is going to be a nice benefit - I can have a "Messaging" folder for Mail and Messaging; a "Music" folder for iPod, Grooveshark, and Pandora; and a "Web" folder for Safari, Opera, and CloudBrowse. I hadn't really thought about the 12 app limit until now. It's not a big deal but it seems random that they're limiting the number of apps in a folder to 12 - why not just let the user do what they want? Oh wait, we're talking about Apple, aren't we? :)

I agree. In fact, it's not just Joel's best explosion - it's the best explosion *ever*. :)

This is a classic, Joel. Seriously, I'm grinning from ear to ear. Excellent script; you write hillbillies disturbingly well. :)

I had no idea this was coming out but, after seeing the trailer, it's already one of my favorite shows of all time.

I've been reading comments from the Screen Rant post, and researching references from its comments, for the past two hours. Really interesting stuff. Thanks for the link!

Those are some interesting points about the Smoke Monster. If Fake Locke (let's call him Brian since I don't think there's been a character named Brian on the show yet) is the Smoke Monster then that would explain why the Brian (as the Smoke Monster) let Ben live and told him to follow Fake Locke's direction. I think you're right in that Brian has also been fake other people too - Christian, Boone, and others. The Smoke Monster grabbed his enemies and pulled them underground - I can only assume that they went to the temple, where Brian kills them and is then able to duplicate their physical characteristics. So now we need to figure out where Jacob, Brian, and Richard (referred to as "Ricardos" in the finale) really came from, what their ties are, and where their magic came from. Damn Lost - a year without a new episode is too long! Next season is going to absolutely rock.

Kate was a stripper? I don't remember that in any of her backstory episodes, but SWEET!

Regarding somewhere online to watch Fringe: Officially: You can watch the whole season on Fox.com - http://www.fox.com/fod/play.php?sh=fringe# - but that requires you to install the Move Player, which I guess is some sort of Flash overlay, and that kinda sucks. Unofficially: Torrents. isohunt.com. I'm not sayin', but I'm sayin'.

I've never seen this either but, after reading Joel's gray note in the middle of the post, I *need* to. Even if it's utter horsepoop, it would be horsepoop that turns into a magical butterfly and I need to experience that for myself.

My guess is motor oil. He fed the pigs motor oil via baby bottle every day since birth. It makes the pigs' coats shiny, and their flesh juicy and tender.
