ARG Tools for iPhone">Thumbnail image for <span class=ARG Tools for iPhone" /> June 6, 2010

As a few read­ers of this blog may know, I have been tin­ker­ing with iPhone devel­op­ment for about a year.  Tech­ni­cally, a bit longer than that — since the first jail­breaks and com­mu­nity SDKs — but real­is­ti­cally, with all seri­ous­ness, about a year of what I’d con­sider above “tin­ker­ing” but below “pro­fes­sional.”  In recent months, […]

TV shows (or, the magic of crontab)">Forcing iTunes to automatically download TV shows (or, the magic of crontab)

January 29, 2009

In the past two weeks, I have expe­ri­enced noth­ing but heart­break and let­down with regard to Bit­Tor­rent.  Most things I down­load, I am per­fectly con­tent with access­ing them a day or two later, but LOST is my big show.  I have to watch it that very night.  When it comes to LOST, I had grown […]

iTunes 7.2 breaks FrontRow video streaming

June 16, 2007

This post is partly for the ben­e­fit of any friends expe­ri­enc­ing the prob­lem and partly to get the spe­cific error mes­sage text out there on Google. Every since a recent update, the Mac Mini hooked to the TV stopped play­ing shared video files from other machines (movies, video pod­casts, music videos, etc.) Audio files still […]

Work Crews, Right Turns, Bad Music Players

November 15, 2006

This morn­ing, I was stopped at a light on the water­front, wait­ing to turn onto Moody and on to the free­way.  My eyes wan­dered and fixed upon the cor­rec­tional facil­ity work crew van across the road.  Lately, there have been a lot of these kinds of work crews on the free­way doing stuff like picking […]

CD sizing">Wherein I discover the tolerance values for CD sizing

September 26, 2006

The warn­ing that’s on the wrap­per: * The audio side of this disc does not con­form to CD spec­i­fi­ca­tions and there­fore will not play on some CD and DVD play­ers. My adden­dum to the warn­ing: ** The disc is kind of thick, but if you can squeeze it into the slot load­ing drive, both the […]

The Daily Show on iTunes

March 8, 2006

Hmmm.… it would appear that you can now sub­scribe to The Daily Show on the iTunes video store.  It&apos;s prob­a­bly eas­ier and less buggy than the whole RSS+Torrent thing I tried a while back, but I am not sure I quite care that much about the Daily Show or even have the time to watch […]

Because all the cool kids are doing it

January 25, 2006

My iTunes Music Sig­na­ture (as well as the list of included songs in case you could not rec­og­nize some­thing or just want to browse.) They&apos;re based on my top-rated songs in iTunes, so you can see that my tastes range from klank-klank indus­trial to beep­beep­boop electronic/newave to jazz to silly to clas­sic rock, with just […]

IP television offerings.  In spirit.">I, for one, welcome our new IP television offerings.  In spirit.

December 6, 2005

It looks like you can now down­load the fol­low­ing TV shows through iTunes (in addi­tion to LOST and Des­per­ate House­wives): Bat­tlestar Galac­tica Monk Law and Order The Office (US) Sur­face (…I&apos;ve never heard of it…?) Clips from Conan O&apos;Brien Clips from The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Some ran­dom Dis­ney Chan­nel kids&apos; shows Knight Rider (WTF?!) Drag­net Adam 12 […]

Lost fanaticism + Apple fanaticism

October 12, 2005

Sweet!  You can now get Lost sea­son 2 episodes on the iTunes music+video store!  How cool is THAT?!  They are very rea­son­ably priced, too–but I am a bit leery of the QVGA res­o­lu­tion.  I won­der how long it will take after air­ing for each one to show up in the store.

iTunes 5

September 15, 2005

iTunes 5 is a flam­ing piece of shit that rou­tinely “for­gets” my pod­cast sub­scrip­tions twice daily, trash­ing my music library in the process.

Today’s “Community Chest” Card

June 29, 2005

Creative account­ing in your favor. Col­lect $3,500 from Cal­i­for­nia. Account­ing is just a big zero-sum game played on mul­ti­ple columns, isn’t it?  After my “oh, fuck” moment the other day with Ore­gon want­ing a big chunk of change above and beyond what I already paid them, talk­ing to my accoun­tant, fax­ing the let­ter to her, […]

The Catching of Pods

June 28, 2005

The new iTunes pod­cast inter­face is really slick.  It is a whole lot faster than iPod­der and iPodderX&apos;s Python bloat. P.S. Does any­one know how they make a music file with mul­ti­ple pieces of art­work syn­chro­nized to time codes (as well as hot links asso­ci­ated with the art­work that invoke a web browser)?  There has […]
