After installing Google Sync for iPhone, I had a problem that the iPhone Calendar colors did not match the colors of the calendars in Google Calendar. I am republishing a post by michael.ansel. I found a post by him to be the best way to change calendar colors. One thing he failed to mention in [...]
I wanted a simple way to make my Linux security camera server stream live video to my TV. The server ususally runs “motion”. I disable motion, and launch this command on the server: vlc v4l:/dev/video0:size=640×480:channel=1:norm=ntsc:fps=12 –sout ‘#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=768,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8080}}’ -v –noaudio and this on a Linux client to test: mmsh://10.4.4.25:8081/ Then, once that is all working, I [...]
I posted something on this a while back, and someone in the comments posted a great howto. I felt it is worthy of another link so it is easy to find. This basically lets your Linux box share files using the AFP protocol which is very fast and the native file sharing protocol for Mac [...]

Here is a trick to stop the iPhone from autocorrecting your favorite curse words: Create a contact with a name that contains only curse words. The iPhone will actually HELP YOU type these words now since contacts are at a higher priority with autocorrect.

Copy them to /System/Library/Frameworks/ This is going to lead the way to me getting the Ethernet port sharing Internet over to the XBOX. So I can get rid of the extra unneeded WiFi box under the TV.
XBMC on AppleTV is fantastic. It’s polished. It’s stable. It just works. Boxee was a bit too Alpha quality at this time. The social aspect of it is a bit more scary than useful. I’m not going to do a huge writeup on the features of each of these applications. I just want to say [...]
I tried PdaNet for the first time today. It worked great. On your PC you create an ad-hoc wireless network. On the iPhone you connect to the ad-hoc network, and launch PdaNet. Now you can surf on your laptop. Yes, it is that easy. You don’t have to set up proxies on the phone or [...]
These are the steps I take to mod the AppleTV. There are a ton of howtos out there and this is mainly a resource for myself to remember how to do it. I hope it helps someone else mod their AppleTV. Please send me anything I missed!
This should be much more simple to install than previous versions. http://chriscarey.com/projects/asterisk/iphone/
