Bastard Sons of Dial-Up

Episode 34, holy hell! Foxx continues with antenna design showcasing how to design and build Yagi Antennas. Uber' shows us more about overclocking, and some software that can help tweak your settings to perfection, or detonation. Even if you dont give a rats ass about overclocking, again Uber's segments explain how computers work. This also contains information on how to troubleshoot issues, so try not to skip it. Mustang grabs his Asus EEE by the gonad and turns it into a less crippled bitch by circumcising Xandros, adding a few inches to its capabilities. Ugster follows up on last months 'What Is Linux segment' with some Live Linux Distros you can download (for free) and try without having to install them to your hard drive. Now you have no excuse to try out Linux. Since they dont install to the hard drive, nothing can really break, and you wont loose your current Operating System and personal files. Check the shownotes for more info on what each distro has for features, and where to download from.

We never get a break! So it seems www.FileDump.BSoDtv.org was hit so hard this release that the PHP script that was running to make the main page look pretty used up so much resources it was killing downloads for everyone. Fortunately the issue has been resolved by removing the glam' completely, so if you dont like the look of a bland file listing, blow it out of your ass. Be happy its working!

This shows that BSoD is really growing, unfortunately we are not seeing as much viewer feedback as we would like. As much as we try to keep reminding you, this is an OPEN SOURCE SHOW. Content in every episode is completely dynamic to the topics that interest the community as a whole, and is also provided by them. Hop on IRC or the forums and speak your mind. The only stupid question is the serious one that was never asked...

Foxx continues a breakdown of serial communications with the the software side of interfacing into some hardware, showcasing how some devices can be controlled from a very simple serial terminal. Mustang pops in and out of satellite lock with some nifty or flat-out must have GPS apps for the G1. The Wireless Warrior Foxx yet again rampages us with some antenna design, cramming the J-Pole in our face. Nixx brings us a well covered firmware hacking segment with the HTC Touch Pro, going deeper into explaining exactly what IPL, SPL, HardPL is, how it effects the device and other information pertaining to firmware hacking HTC (or damn near any) devices. Tommy, a well seasoned ham radio operator meets an untimely and unexpected interview with us and tells us a little bit about what attracted him to the hobby, some insight to the Ham Radio community, and how he quite literally owes his life two-fold to it. Never knew a ham radio could be used as a real life 1-Up!

Quick, grab it,before it runs back under the entertainment center!! SON OF A BITCH! Now we have to get a stick and poke it in face until it scurrys back out. What a Dickbag...

Sorry for the late release, we all had a very bad case of Life.

This episode I get more into firmware hacks using my Dell Axim X51v, explaining the basics of using a PDAs onboard flash utility to get a non-crap OS on your PDA. Please check the shownotes! There is a lot I couldnt cover because of time constraints. Ophidian shows us how to make a universal dipole base thats very hands for any ham. I get into what serial ports and communications are, but again ran into the time limit wall, so expect more in the next episode. This segment will be very important later on, so try and pay attention! UberarchAngel gets into what overclocking is. This is the first installment of his multi-part series of segments, so stay tuned. Same BSoD time (we hope), same BSoD Channel.

Things are starting to speed up with current topics. Foxx brings a showcase of USB Multiboot, one of the many (but so far most reliable and easiest) ways to install or run a WinXP/NT5 environment from a USB Thumbdrive. Mustang showcases some more G1 Android apps, this time (computer) network related tools and utilities. Ophidian explains the all important Standing Wave Ratio, and its importance in the radio world. Melih Bilgil brings us the History of the Internet, a short narration using PICOL, an open source pictorial system which can be used to aid in explanations, diagrams... you name it!

Hey everyone, glad to see you are still with us. BSoD brings us the typical flair to how to tech tutorials. This episode goes a little farther into the ideals of firmware mods and hacks with DVD Player Region Unlocking, mustang covers some must-have applications for the G1 Android, Usgter and Foxx showcase 2D Cypher systems and create a new form of urban information warfare called Glyph Tagging. We are still doing radio projects slowly gearing into ham, but with how much gear costs, Foxx does some mods to cheap FRS (PMR) radios to sport an antenna jack so we can start safely playing with antenna designs without having to break the bank on expensive gear.

Shownotes will be late due to a busy week for us, sorry. Those of you whom frequent IRC know the reasons why, hopefully all will be sorted out today and the shownotes will be up by the weekend.

Whee!! Episode 28 hit the ground running, and much like all things that hit the ground while trying to run, it promptly face-planted. Whelp, with all of that aside, BSoD shamelessly brings you some more Firmware hacks with the CHDK upgrade for canon Powershot cameras, GPS Solutions for the hopelessly lost or generally curious, a tutorial on an electronics enthusiasts best friend Mr. Multimeter, and some more Ham Radio stuff with an introduction and live demonstration of Repeaters.

BSoD is always proudly here to bring you the topics and subjects you choose to see and produce. Many thanks to all those involved, from those on IRC and Forums bringing new topics into the chat, all the way down to the jackass that sits in front of a camera polluting the show with their ugly face and foul language *Foxx*. We will continue with Ham Radio segments as requested, so pop on IRC and Forums if you have questions, comments, or can lend a hand. We dont have full access to the entire Ham Radio Spectrum, its an expensive hobby to begin with, so if you are a Ham and a BSoD'er pop on by and let us know if you can offer your time and talents. Remember, BSoD is Open-IPTV. For the people, by the people...

We are now back on Usenet! HUZZAH! For those of you with usenet access you can find us on:
alt.binaries.divx (yes, we use the xvid codec, quit nit-picking)
alt.binaries.multimedia
alt.binaries.ipod.videos

Anyone that downloads from usenet owes Mustang a hug or various sexual and/or technical favors. We will work on .nzb files at some point. If you can help seed to usenet or even torrents, let us know and help us out.

We are finally back on track with a new episode! Sorry for the long delay but we have all been a bit busy, broken, and bored. We will try to keep on the steady releases but it just seems the electron gods absolutely hate us. This episode brings some new topics, and we will be introducing some more in a crazy mix, but in the end you will see how it all falls into place. All and all things are going in a new direction, but all for the better.
Shownotes will be a little late, we are all still somewhat busy as we are hitting NYC 2600 today.
