Peer Guardian and Filetopia
Some quick notes on cool tools that I’ve been exploring lately around the area of IP blocking * “kazaa-lite”:http://www.kazaalitekpp.com/. This is clean version of Kazaa. Doesn’t have spyware. Also implements IP blocking through a central “list”:http://kazaalite.host.sk/dl/BannedIpRanges.txt. The list itself is an interesting read for nerds. * “PeerGuardian”:http://peerguardian.net. This is a general purpose IP blocker. Sort…

State of HDTV in Seattle
Well, it’s a pretty sad picture for HDTV particularly in Seattle. But at least a little better than a year ago. Seems like it is hard to get information on what works and what doesn’t. Here is what I’ve found out via sites like “HDTV Pub”:http://www.hdtvpub.com/ which keeps track of such stuff: * “Over the…

I truly love the new Blackberry (really a blueberry), but it is amazing how hard it is to get support for it. Between the carrier and Blackberry, it doesn’t seem like there is a place to find out what is going on. So it is off to Google we go. BTW, the only difference between…

Rides around Seattle
Seattle has some really great road bike rides as well as close by mountain biking. Here’s a list of places that I go: * Ride around Lake Washington. This is the classic 60 or so mile ride around the lake. I’ve done a bunch. Main issue is that traffic particularly around Kirkland and also Renton.…

AOL Blogs
Hat tip to Satoshi’s Wireless Weblog. AOL launches a blogging service. I’ve got to say that with Jon Miller taking over, they really are doing more software. Cranked out AOL 8.0 after a long hiatus. Then pumped out AOL 9.0 Optimized (don’t understand that branding myself) about six months later. Now they are doing AOL…

Cognitive Style of PowerPoint
