Sockso – Open Source simple music streaming server

Brandon — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 19:17:35 +0000

Earlier, I made a post about an open source iTunes music streamer I came across, called PulpTunes. I have found another music streamer that works similarly, except it does not require you to have iTunes setup on the computer! It is a simple, standalone application that uses the Java runtime libraries to stream your music from a Mac, Linux or Windows machine.

Find it here: http://sockso.pu-gh.com/

I have been looking into media streamers for something I bought called a SheevaPlug, which is basically a plug computer. Take a look at that here: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-sheevaplugdetails.aspx#component
Do you know of any good media streamers for Linux? Leave a comment below.u

Invisible Shield

Well I have a few minutes to make a post before I must get back to work. I don't have enough time to make a programming post, so I will review something!

After I bought my iPhone, I heared about the Zagg Invisible Shield. Unscratchable, and smudge proof is excactly what I wanted. I didn't believe it at first until I watched the videos on their site and got it for myself. I don't even get fingerprints on it anymore!

They also have them for hundreds of other devices and it aws only $20 for the iPhone case. They are having a sale right now too!

The installation was not so easy, but they offer some videos. After installing mine I came up with a few tips:
1. Use a lot of the solution it gives you on the shield, this way you can drop it on and slide it in place, then use the squeegee to remove the excess
2. Do not let your fingers dry out! Spray them often, otherwise your fingers will get stuck and leave a fingerprint on removing

Whether or not you have a iPhone, I suggest you check out their website. They have a large variety of invisible shileds and other cases!

iTalk – Free iPhone Voice Recorder

Here is another review of a free iPhone application available in the Appstore.

The iTalk voice recorder seems to be the best one I have found yet. With approximately 1mb of space per minute on the "better" mode it can record even the littlest sounds in the room! There is no need to hold it up to your face to talk, just sit it on the table, or even in your pocket and talk away. Why pay a few dollars for a voice recorder when this one works perfectly for free?

Vlingo – Free Iphone Voice App

Just going to give a quick review about the free iPhone Application available in the appstore. This free program allows voice google/yahoo searches, voice map searches, voice dialing and updating Facebook and Twitter status by talking!

The voice recognition seems much better than the Google Mobile app. It combines multiple applications into one (voice dialer, voice maps, etc) and is currently the only one that supports updating social website status'.
