Vibram fivefingers

I just recived my vibram fivefingers shoes and wore them on my usual 1
mile walk. It's mostly gravel road and they did a great job. I felt
the stones but could walk through easily. I can't wait to try them in
desolation wilderness.

Metakine - Fairmount

Fairmount is just what I've been looking for since Mac the Ripper started misbeahving on some disks. I'll have to see how well this works with doing the conversion in handbrake.

iPhone as Flashdrive without Jailbreak

MyPodApps has as cool little program that lets you write files to the digital camera interface presented by the iPhone. This will work quite nicely until Apple exposes the USB Mass Storage interface for the device. The software is free for now, and hopefully will remain that way.

From their site:
"iPhone browser for Mac: iPhone Explorer. The software lets you browse your iPhone as if it were a normal USB flash drive and you can use the very easy drag and drop methods to add or remove files and folders from the iPhone."

Sipura 3102 simple dial plan to use PSTN as default

So I have had a Linksys Sipura 3102 sitting in my cabinet for a few months waiting for a way to use it. Here's a Sipura 3102 simple dial plan that defaults to the PSTN and dials SIP numbers with #9:

(x.<:@gw0>|<#9,:>x.)

That plan turned out to be not exactly reliable, though very short. I learned a little more about the dial plan from the SPA 3102 manual and modified the default string in the device. I had to put in settings for gw1 under the Line 1 settings. It's also key that you enable both PSTN and Line 1 for any of this to work. With the following dial plan I can call VoIP numbers by prefixing them with #. All other calls go though by PSTN line for now.

I figure that I can investigate routing other calls to a VoIP provider (like long distance) and scale back my AT&T service, once I have a better idea of the cost savings. I may also trim some services off of my AT&T local plan to pull that cost down.

The current dial plan is:

(*xx|<#,:>x.|[3469]11<:@gw0>|[2-9]xxxxxx<:@gw0>|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0<:@gw0>|xxxxxxxxxxxx.<:@gw0>)

I know that this class is probably old news, but I am going to try and work my way through this and the lectures to see if I can finally start developing something useful for the iPhone. it looks like everything is available for free online and from iTunes U.

Anonymous Pro - Coding Font

Mark Simonson has released a great freeware font, that build on his earlier work with the Anonymous font. I have installed this on my ubuntu linux box and find that it works great as a terminal font. I'll have to try it out on the Mac at home now.

Just drop it into ~/.fonts and go.
