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!

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.

Episode 24 is released on time. I get into the basics of Wii RAM Hacking and some tips on 2.4Ghz Yagi Antennas, Mustang shows us some insight on the Thumbs.db file and how it could be a naughty little tid'bit, and Ugster shows some Smartphone (Motorola Q) Tweaks to make it not suck so hard.

Episdoe 24

Sorry for the wait, as some of you may know it was an American national holiday for the last release. We had an ill planned and abrupt meetup, and life was in the way. I wasnt able to get episode 23 released on time. Sue me! Episode 23 is only three segments long, but its long winded. I wanted to add more but we would have been well beyond our time constraints. No console hacking this month, but hopefully we will make up for it in the next.

Episdoe 23 is released, sorry for the delay.

BSoD continues on with some pocket PC Network Apps, how to play PC games without the original CD, how to do some HDD Tests and checks, how to upgrade the HDD in your series 2 Tivo, and how to upgrade your Xbox HDD. Lots' of work with physical drives in this one, hopefully you will learn some new stuff about them.
