Well the end of my semester is drawing near so don't expect a whole lot out of me post wise for another month, after that I get summer break and thats when it'll get good again, I'll be posting all kinds of new shit. I just formatted my friend's computer and I'm about to install XP on it again. Not a whole lot tech wise going on. Hackermedia is slow so there's not too much great stuff this week, but it'll get better again.

As you can tell I updated this thing so now I have a mini google earth on here, you should post where you're from and such on there, leave me a good message.

The best thing I can think of to post on here is how to Bridge Halo 2.

You need your pc, your xbox, and your modem along with some software. First connect your xbox to your pc, then your pc to the internet.

Next you need Zone Alarm and Commview. and stolen from a nice little guide "Go into a party where they(whoever you want to have host)is the only person and get their IP address. Enter it into Zonealarm's trusted section along with Xbox Live's IP address. Then turn the security settings to high and your trusted zone to medium. This will force host to the trusted IP address(the trusted IP address can be your own)." You get their IP address from Commview.

Start up your Xbox then unplug your ethernet cable to get to the troubleshooter. Copy down your DNS server codes. Go to My Computer - View Network Connections -then Highlight both Connections with the shift key(hold shift and click on both items). Right click and select bridge connections. There ya go...

Peace

Gettin back in the swing of things

Ok, well, I've been working on my most recent post and I was trying to figure out what to post about. I guess I should post about something I hate but I know a lot of people wouldn't go without...The Apple Ipod.

We all know the normal shit that goes with it...shitty menu, music downloading program you're forced to use...it's bullshit. Well, I'm trying to make things a little better for us.

First off we go with the general menu...it sucks, it's based off a shitty tiered system, and it's outdated. The Ipod Linux Installer is the first step to making your ipod pimp. Just installing this gives you a vast array of stuff you can play with, games, programs, etc.

Also with the Ipod Linux is gtkpod, which is a GUI for your ipod. This is made for a Linux opperating system so I'm not completely sure if they have a windows version.

If you don't want to go with the standard or linux you can simply turn your ipod into a database. This way your ipod works much like a thumbdrive using the simplest of settings for your music selection.

If you're just looking for some good programs to spice up your ipod we have a few for ya. The INES is a good one. It's an NES emulator for your ipod so you can play your favorite nes games while you're out.
If you're a drinking, like me, then the iPod bartender is for you. This program has an amazing database of mixed drinks and how to make them.
Also, being a college student, I know the value of an encyclopedia, so for you college students with ipods the Encyclopodia. It's Wikipedia for your ipod.

well those are the best I could find, if you have any questions or would like to add any, drop me a line

I'm Not Dead

Damn, it's been one helluva year so far. A lot of shit's been going down, sorry for the nonresponsiveness of postings. Well I'm formatting and reinstalling a computer for a friend right now and in this post I'm giving the low down of the programs put on it.

To start us off we have to format it though which I used a program called DBAN, I've talked about this before so look for it.

Next we go to the OS, I tried a few different ones but settled back with Windows XP simply because of program compatibility. A few that I did try were ReactOS, which was possibly the most decent tiny os I've seen in a long time, DSLinux, not the linx os for the Nintendo DS but rather damn small linux, and some random other one a friend told me to try but I didn't like it...poor compatibility.

Anyway, we move on to some of the basic programs. First Norton for an antivirus. Then some cd burning software so I used both Nero and Alcohol 120%. Both good programs and both have their own uses. Next I'm going for some internet associated software. First a browser with the newest Firefox. Netlimiter for the periods in which personal bandwidth must be limited. Finally some random downloading software.

Besides that we're gonna hack the start button and other as well as a few other things and voila, pc is done.
