Your complaint was super effective! CRTC is still...
Woah…WOAH. Ok so, a few weeks ago (on a whim really, and upset that after paying for hotfile premium I still got shit speeds) I sent out a complaint to the CRTC stating that bell throttles websites that are not listed in their traffic management protocols/documentation online (which is essentially not allowed). I finally got a response today :o
They stated that they stick by the...

This failed :/ I wanted to try to make the tree look as realistic as...

Swan-dive into Android development!
I’ve decided to take a crack at developing my own android game. I figure, since I’m getting an android phone soon (hopefully…come on Rogers! I want my Samsung Captivate!) I should learn how to develop things for it :o I’m going to use this post to walk you through what I did and what I’ve learned while doing it to hopefully save someone out there some headache. ...

Going Ons
Whew, busy last little while - been a while since my last post!
Since then, I’ve applied to positions for an internship at school and finished my semester. Went through a bunch of interviews and finally accepted a position at ATI (i.e. AMD) which is awesome! I’m not really sure yet if I’m allowed to blog about the things I’ll be working on there but I’ll find out....

Your site, saved and backed up on the S3 cloud!
I got sick of having to do backups manually and then manually saving them somewhere…then I wondered if it’d be possible to use my S3 service to back up my website? I mean, I’m already using it as a content distribution system but having a full backup of all files + databases would be nice too!
What You Need
You’ll need PHP, bash, CRON access and python to get this working....

Creating a Windows 7 Phone Series application
Yay, long article time!
With the release of the Windows Phone 7 Series (I really really hate that name so I’m gonna just use winmo7) SDK, I decided to give it a shot and see how hard (or even easy?) creating an application on the platform would be.
I should probably mention I have very little experience coding in SilverLight and only dabbled with it a while ago, and I’ve been coding...

Speed, projects and features - oh my!
Added a whole bunch of new features to the blog, mostly back end changes but a few new pages too.
There’s the new “Projects” section which is powered by a nice little back-end script to let me easily manage links and data to all the projects I’m working on, or have worked on.
I added a “LifeStream” - based on the same concept that facebook uses to aggregate...

Da Stank Bank Uploader - progress!
Got a chance to sit down and finally do some more coding for this project which has been neglected for long enough now :/
I managed to add effectively full (for the program’s purposes anyways) youtube support to the program now. So it’ll batch render the mp3s to videos, and then upload all of them to youtube. The user can choose a youtube description for each file or just use the...

Jungle Disk - continued
So turns out Jungle Disk was not the culprit…it instead appears to be — NOD32? WTFARK. Dammit ESET!
Anyways, long story short - un-installing NOD32 and installing Microsoft Security Essentials (which is more than good enough anyways) seems to let me sync things. Jungle Disk is still giving odd errors but I’ll see if I can work through them.
Not ready to ditch Dropbox yet...

Jungle Disk - great idea, but...
…doesn’t really seem to work as advertised. The story starts a few days ago when I realized that my free dropbox account was nearing its full capacity. I contemplated creating a few ghost accounts to get that extra gig or so of free space but figured that eventually I’d end up in the same situation once again. Considering how much I used the cloud storage I decided it may be time...
