Accessing American Media Streaming Services Abroad

Aside October 1, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

There are several popular media streaming services that are only accessible in the United States- Pandora, Hulu, Spotify, and a great deal of Netflix content. This media is basically barred due to copyright issues, so, those of us who enjoy consuming american content but don’t live there are inherently out of luck. Were not totally out of luck though – there are several ways to circumvent this issue.

Please note that I am not entirely sure the legality of doing this, so please consider the information as theoretical only. Continue reading Accessing American Media Streaming Services Abroad →

Bitcoin: Data Cost

Aside October 3, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

Somehow my blkindex.dat file became corrupt the other day so I got a little nervous as I remember that one .dat file contained all my bitcoins – within a split second I realized this is the wallet.dat file so I quickly backed it up again for added piece of mind. While in the bitcoin data directory I noticed the size of the blkindex.dat file was over 1 gigabyte! And then the blk0001.dat was 2GB, blk0002.dat was another GB! Let’s not forget about debug.log – another gigabyte. Over 5GB to be able to use the currency? And how many people are using the currency? A lot. This is a problem that is inherently created due to the nature of the currency. But what are some possible solutions? Continue reading Bitcoin: Data Cost →

Wind Mobile’s Terrible Mobile Data Speeds

Aside October 3, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

Wind Mobile is hands-down the best voice alternative to replace existing cellular and/or land-line service. Plans starting around $25 a month get you the equivalent of a basic home phone line from Bell, at a couple dollars cheaper per month – plus unlimited text messaging and some data to boot. Go up to the $40 per month range and you’ve got yourself unlimited long distance and unlimited data too! What’s the catch? Continue reading Wind Mobile’s Terrible Mobile Data Speeds →

WTF is it!?

What is it?

This is a 200% bicubic extrapolation of a cropped photo taken with my Canon 60D and Tamron 70-300mm lens.

MySQL Optimization Dillema

Aside December 5, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

In response to this post, I have compiled some charts showing the memory usage of my VPS – specifically relating to MySQL, to determine whether or not I should not use InnoDB. Note that, this site is running on an InnoDB schema and so there would be additional migration steps to reap the benefits of disabling this feature. Check out the figures  Continue reading MySQL Optimization Dillema →
