XM FM Modulator

Paul Westbrook | 10 October, 2004 14:20

XM Delphi FM modulator This afternoon, I installed the Delphi FM Modulator for the Delphi SkiFi in our 1993 Nissan Sentra. It is great to be able to listen to XM, without using the tape adapter or the cigarette lighter. Also there isn't the problem with tape hiss.

Switched to Etheric.net

Paul Westbrook | 07 October, 2004 19:42

We had our wireless broadband, by etheric.net, installed today and it is working great. We are seeing upload and download speeds of areound 3Mbs

Speed results

There was only one problem that we saw. When it was first installed, there was about a 5 minute period that the connection stopped working. Since the installer was still here, he called technical support and by the time that he was off the phone it was working.

BlogExplosion

Paul Westbrook | 07 October, 2004 09:37

BlogExplosion is a website that is a way to bring traffic to your blog. It is a site that will generate traffic to your blog when you view other blogs. So if you are interested in finding new blogs, this is one way to do it, and get more traffic to your blog.

The one thing that I would love to see is BlogExplosion generate an rss feed that contains urls to the blogs to be viewed.

Update: This rss feed would just have a url to the blog, and not show each of the blog entries.

Importing self-signed certificates

Paul Westbrook | 04 October, 2004 18:37

I have been trying to read a rss feed on a secure web site with a self-signed certificate, but Shrook has been having a problem loading it. Shrook uses Apple's Web toolkit to do http communication, and it looks it will not load data from a site with a self-signed certificate, when the certificate is not loaded in the keychain. Here are the steps that I used to get it to work: (More)

Change Trash IMAP folder in Mozilla

Paul Westbrook | 04 October, 2004 18:14

I was having problems using Mozilla on an Exchange IMAP server. The web interface to the IMAP server wants to use a folder called "Deleted Items" as the trash folder, while Mozilla, by default, wants to use a folder called "Trash". I got tired of having two different folders that deleted emails get moved to, so I found a page with some instructions to tell Mozilla to use a different IMAP folder for the trash folder.
