Eye-Fi Wireless 2GB SD Card

This thing is really amazing. (im not just saying that for the hell of it)

It looks like a regular SD card that you stick in your camera and take photos with, but it’s so much more! It has wi-fi built in! This means that as you shoot your pics, it uploads the photos instantly (via wi-fi) to your favourite online photo gallery (like flikr, picasa, etc)

Works on both Mac and Windows, doesn’t take much to setup, obviously requires a nearby wireless network to upload images… so cool!

Fedora 8 Released

Today Fedora 8 is available to the public. I’ve been trying to find a mirror to download it however it seems everyone has the same idea and most sites are flooded and timing out. The demand must be huge. I’m pulling it down now via torrent. This could take a while!

I’ll have more information soon. I hope to install it tonight and take a look at whats new or changed. Looks to be some nice improvements!

Skype on AppleTV

Thats right, I just installed and can use Skype on my AppleTV. I’ve not tested voice (audio) as yet, but it’s installed and I can text chat to my mates. It was damn easy.

First, I followed the “firefox” install from awkwardtv.org

Then applied the same concept/steps to the Skype.app! I grabbed Skype_2.6.0.151.dmg which i had on my fileserver, mounted it on my macbook pro, then copied the contents to the AppleTV:

scp Skype.app frontrow@appletv.local:/Users/frontrow (enter)

open Skype.app (enter)

hey presto, it beachballs for a sec, opens, and asks for licence agreement then login credentials! TRY IT !
