15 07 2009

android_logo_be6bd

I’ve just made a new HoFo Ion ROM, which is based on nk02’s modification’s. The Ion ROM is a special ROM that was given to developers by Google – it is the fastest Android ROM out there now.  The best part about this ROM for Rogers users is that there is no time stamp issue in this ROM.  Other than the speed, don’t expect anything special. One thing that you will notice is that you will not have an “H” in your status bar when using 3G HSPA data, but your Magic is in fact transferring data at HSPA speeds.

Here are some of the changes that I’ve made to nk02’s lite version:

Today I have created a new ROM for the HoFo community in the hope that it will be used as a seed for further development. All of the other ROM’s that I have tried had missing features or they were extremely buggy and power hungry. This ROM is based on the orginal Rogers ROM, so everything works and it is stable as the original. Enjoy!

How to hardwire a Bel/Escort radar detector in a 08+ Impreza/STi for free!

5 10 2008

I recently received a speeding ticket and decided to get a radar detector to help me out in the future with any more speed traps that I might encounter. Upon much research I decided to go with the Escort 9500i due to it’s low false alarm rate and the ability to block known areas which falsely trigger the detector using the detector’s GPS capability. Once installed, one soon sees the problem with the cigarette lighter adapter as it hangs over your radio and somewhat obstructs your view. The great part about the Escort is that it uses a standard RJ11 telephone jack for power input; likewise for most Bel radar detectors. Even better, there is easy access to switched power right beside the mirror giving you the possibility of a clean install. The guide below should make your install that much easier as you will not need a Volt meter to see what wire is what.

CheckGmail, Linux’s Blackberry

20 05 2008

CheckGmail is the Blackberry of the Linux world that relatively is still unknown to most Linux users. Basically, CheckGmail is a task bar Gmail notifier primarily developed by Owen Marshall that makes checking email a task that doesn’t even require for you to actually check your mail most of the time. A click within CheckGmail is all that is needed. If for some reason you are wondering, CheckGmail works with the best and biggest email service – Gmail. The great thing about Gmail is that it works with any POP3 server, allowing you to consolidate your email accounts. You can even check your email on Gmail hosted domains and run multiple instances of CheckGmail if you have multiple Gmail accounts. Once you learn about this great application you will have another reason to switch to Linux. If you are already are on the Linux platform, you will probably install it after reading this review.

How To Install Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron On The Asus M50Sv-A1

19 05 2008

Almost all of the hardware on the Asus M50Sv-A1 works out of the box after Ubuntu’s installation is complete. There are none the less a few tweaks that are needed to be performed and few drivers that are needed to be installed. The screens brightness can’t be increased, the Nvidia driver is not installed, the webcam driver is not installed, the fingerprint reader driver is not installed, the email LED is non-functional, the microphone is not enabled by default, the hard drive has a firmware glitch, and the speakers don’t mute when the headphones are plugged in. This short installation tutorial is intended to save you the time and grief associated with searching for each particular solution on the internet.

A Trans-Siberian Adventure – From Seoul To Warsaw

17 05 2008

Being a gear in today’s civilization thwarts much of what makes us human and rapes our soul of any adventure and freedom. Now that I am back in Canada, I look back fondly at the time when I had no address and commitment to do anything – my journey through Eurasia. For a short time I was free and carried myself on impulse guided desires, with time being my only restriction. Being able to feed my mind constantly with new exotic experiences throughout the journey was more gratifying and stimulating than I would have ever imagined. For most of us who have had a lifestyle of directed living normalized, it will be very difficult to appreciate the beauty of uncertainty and effort that backpacking gives you. Read on and below you will find my personal accounts of a journey through China, Mongolia, and Russia that inspired the former sentences and myself to look at life a little differently.

10 01 2008
logo.png

One of the best things about Linux is all the different flavors that you can get in – Mint is one of my favorites. Based on Canonical’s Ubuntu 7.10, Linux Mint 4.0 (download) takes Canonical’s prodigy and makes it even better. And if you thought Ubuntu providing everything out of the box was impressive, Linux Mint provides everything out of the net. In addition to that, Linux Mint developers improved the usability by changing the menus and desktop layout. On top of that they added a software portal that makes installing the your software faster and easier. All of this put together brings about the finest beginner distro available to date.

Our Society Is One Big Pyramid Scheme

27 12 2007

No matter how you look at it, our society is one big pyramid scheme serving the elite and enslaving masses. None the less, this is nothing new as this scheme has been propagated by the thirteen blood lines that have originated from ancient Babylon who are known to us today as our government. The members of these thirteen blood lines are organized through various secret societies that manipulate our government and administer our society. Their banks are the force that dictate our lives in every single aspect, including: migration, quality of life and freedom. Everyone else outside of these thirteen clans is nothing more that a building block supporting the cap stone at the top. And like with every other pyramid scheme, there are a whole bunch of losers at the bottom.
