With the recent work we have been doing with our HTPC build, we have been using Hulu a lot. This matched with our unhealthy obsession with Lost, we have popped in a cool little Hulu block stickied to the right side of the screen. You can watch videos right from that block. Okay, we admit it, we did it mostly for our own use while staring at the site teasing out our own ego..... Either way, enjoy! [Sorry for those opposed to/unable to use flash...]

We are working on a series of tutorials and walkthroughs/reviews for building a home theater pc (HTPC) running Linux.

This is a little video we wanted to get posted as a teaser to the project. This particular post (see video) goes through running Hulu-desktop and controlling it with an IR remote via the LIRC software.

The following is a contribution by one of our users:

dear apple,
i noticed that my wireless went out when i was ripping a data cd. i have a macbook pro. didn't really think that this was gonna be a big deal. i guess multi-tasking is out of the question. thanks for giving me a good reason to twiddle my thumbs uselessly as i waited to get the data off the cd's. why bother their site, since they probably don't care that much. tanks for the rant!

Had been doubtful this would work and upon initial searches, didn't think it should. But I found a way today to manage your iPhone photos with your linux machine without any tricks or hacks. Read on for the super easy and quick way.

Just wanted to post some recent FAH statistics. Feel free to check out our Mutaku FAH Team information and join in the folding.

We have been using kUbuntu for about 3 years now and have always been slow to upgrade to newer versions, fearing the impending bug, broken configuration with hardware, or grub issues. So when 8.04 rolled out, having been using a 'fairly' stable 7.10, we were quite hesitant to change. However, we had finally decided to upgrade this past weekend, and to our suprise, everything was smooth....well somewhat....

Need to grab material from a site that uses basic authentication? We will show you a quick example of using URLLIB2 and Python to do such.

Use tail and grep (egrep) to monitor your webserver logs and include some crude colorization.

Sometimes you just have to post some tidbits you find in the middle of the night. This one is one of my favorites I always forget...so straight from wikipedia...SysRq method of fixing a bad freeze...
