This was a lot of fun to paint. Painted in acrylics.

Upgraded to AppleTV 3.0.1 last night, installed the mods. Everything is going well so far! Have all features working such as AFP, SSH, full Codec support thanks to Perian, plus the new 3.0 menu system and iPhone Remote.

AppleTV 2.4 Black Screen when playing video

Chris Carey — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 03:25:46 +0000

After upgrading to AppleTV 2.4 and installing Perian, I no longer can play Apple videos. The device just shows a black screen. Sometimes there is sound.

Edit: found a fix from westont on AwkwardTV:

Sure enough, looking in the /System/Library/QuickTime folder I found a ‘Disabled’ folder had been created. This folder contained the ‘QuickTimeH264.component’ file which had clearly been moved there by something. Moving this file back to the /System/Library/QuickTime folder and rebooting the ATV got everything working again.

UtahFM iPhone App

Making good progress on the UtahFM iPhone App. Got a progress bar working so now it spins while music is playing. I’d like to get some more testers but you have to be willing to upgrade to iPhoneOS 3.0beta5.

iPhone Google Calendar Sync

Chris Carey — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 21:36:48 +0000

So, I upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0 and want to get the Google Calendar Sync up and running on the new OS.

Search for “iphone google calendar sync” at Google. Not a single link on the first page has the instructions on how to do it. Had to search forever just to find the server name to enter which is

m.google.com

Sheesh. So I make this blog post so I never have to search again for this.

Fantastic announcement, no howto:

http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2009/02/google-sync-beta-for-iphone-winmo-and.html

has some great information about the product, but no install instructions:

Finally found this after about 10 minutes:

Recent versions of PDAnet are no longer free. PDAnet changed to a $30 pay version as of version 1.40. Here is how to roll back to the old free version:
