Episode 33, all over your face
Well boys, girls, and things in between, its that time again. No, not a visit from Aunt Flo'. Time for a release. This month we bring you more antenna stuff with the Double Zepp Antenna, a fairly easy and diverse antenna for your (ham) radio. Uber' gives us a rundown about the hardware side of overclocking. Although its a very generalized segment, even if you dont care for overclocking this segment does a good job explaining how a computer is actually put together, and how it works, also why proper cooling and reliable components can save you hours of headaches in the long run.
Unfortunately Foxx dropped the ball a few episodes back and forgot to air his NES Repair segment, so it will make its debut in this episode. After this segment... you WILL get your NES back to life. If you cant, then its an issue well beyond repair. Be sure to check the shownotes for more information regarding tips, techniques, and little nuances that can help you further understand the steps showcased, and some shortcuts into finding critical issues.
If you have no clue about what Linux/Unix really is there is a nice little explanation of its history, and roundabout of why it has made a very big impact on the different tech cultures on the internet. If you are already well versed in what Unix and Linux is, bear with us and watch it anyways... and add onto the shownotes. I (Foxx) do not take any credit for this segment, as its clips from various pre-existing videos, and a little more added on at the end to clear up some misconceptions. Please, if you are linux savvy feel free to amend onto the shownotes to fill in the gaps. In fact, everyone is encouraged to add on to the shownotes to make them more detailed in general.
BSoD is about a community all helping out with providing accurate information for everyone that wants to learn, so get of the bench and into the game already!

Episode 31 is on the loose!
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.

Episode 28
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.
Episode 27
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.
Episode 27
Episode 26 Released (FINALLY!)
Ahhh, the long awaited Episode 26. Cold and rain have hit the east coast pretty hard, keeping a lot of us from going out to do out segments, Personally I wanted to do the last 2.4Ghz Wireless segment all in field, but I havent been able to get out long enough to record. Also, my camera took a total shit on me, so the long wait is totally my fault. We got together for a meetup in hopes that we could all get some cool footage done, just to find out my cam would not read/write to the DV deck. Oh well.
This episode brings you a nifty tutorial on getting the Playstation 2 EyeToy USB Cam working on a computer, although the segment is for Windows, it will work under OSX and Linux. Ugster shows Orb, a kick ass media streaming program for windows that lets you send out your movies, music, even live TV out to anything that can connect to the internet. Watching TV on the smartphone... bad ass. Mustang makes a USB mass storage box that is a "Digital historian's" wet dream, I love the pirate fan grills. great touch! The last 2.4ghz Wireless Scanning Tips and Techniques segment airs as well. With a lot of good information on how to use the 2.4Ghz gear we have been building over the past year. Check the shownotes on the forums! There is more than what was put into the show, I have some small 'Extra Features' with more detailed info about some of the extra stuff never shown on the show. This isnt the last of 2.4Ghz, as always your questions, comments, and queries can bring more 2.4Ghz stuff back in action. The minions and misfits like to do a lot of radio scanning with me, so expect some side segments and extra features in the future, but not as segments in the show itself.
If you do go out and about for some ol' techno-terror in the wireless wilderness, record or blog it. Lets see what you have learned over the past two years of BSoD, but remember, we do NOT condone criminal hacking. We dont mind stepping on some toes or in the gray areas, but don't show us how you DDoS Wifi with MDK3 deauth' attacks, steal passwords and files from open WiFi, or "break" into peoples open Access points!
