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.
Finally took the plunge and got IPv6 working at home. Thanks to the folks at http://www.tunnelbroker.net/ for the free 6to4 tunnel!
By default, your ssh daemon probably will kick you out after a period of no activity. I like to set the following in sshd_config:
TCPKeepAlive yes
ClientAliveInterval 60
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.
The About Page:
This sequence of commands work well for me to get a SSL-enabled version of Netatalk compiled “the Debian way” or “the Ubuntu way”, where you get a nice .deb file:
mkdir -p ~/src/netatalk cd ~/src/netatalk sudo apt-get install devscripts cracklib2-dev dpkg-dev libssl-dev build-essential sudo apt-get build-dep netatalk apt-get source netatalk cd netatalk-2.0.3 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ssl dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc sudo debi
Now you can install the .deb package that was just created.
You will want to set Netatalk “on hold” so that it will not update, killing your custom SSL version:
echo "netatalk hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
Updated link to find the iPhone firmwares:
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:
http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/sync.html
Finally found this after about 10 minutes:

Slack and Bill at worked helped me out with a nice recursive grep search. It is now my favorite:
egrep -irHn <searchterm> <path>
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:

*EDIT* updated for iOS5 here http://chriscarey.com/wordpress/2012/01/07/changing-calendar-colors-on-a-jailbroken-iphone-running-ios-5/
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 the following steps is to install sqlite3 which is not installed by default. On your jailbroken iPhone, launch Cydia and install sqlite3.
Then proceed with these steps…
