What is CHDK?
The Canon Hacker's Development Kit, aka CHDK, is a firmware enhancement that supports an impressive array of Canon digital cameras. I emphasize the enhancement aspect of CHDK because the tool is non-permanent and non-destructive, meaning that you load it onto your camera whenever you want to use it; CHDK makes no changes to your camera, and turning it off is simply a matter of restarting your camera. Installing CHDK involves copying a couple of files onto your camera's memory card; permanently removing it from your camera entails deleting those files. It's simple and powerful (sort of like hacking your router firmware) but even easier.Summary: http://www.trailfire.com/enjoylife/trailview/60536

Convert a Spreadsheet to an HTML Table
When you want to turn that giant spreadsheet into an HTML table without wrangling too many TD's and TR's by hand, you can use a formula to generate the HTML tags for you. The Design Intellection blog describes how to use the =CONCATENATE("text", cell, "text") spreadsheet formula to turn a row of data into an HTML table row. On Friday, Kevin pointed out a web-based HTML table generator that's a simple, fast solution for small tables; but if your data's already in a spreadsheet and the word "concatenate" doesn't make you want to run screaming, this may be a better way to go.
Innovative file sharing service Drop.io now sends and receives faxes for free. To send a fax, just upload a document to Drop.io, enter the fax number, and click Fax. To receive a fax, Drop.io generates a cover sheet you email to the sender; as long as they use your cover page on the fax, it will end up in your Drop.io account as a PDF. Like most of Drop.io, faxing services are free and require no registration to use.
FAXAWAY is what I use, no charge when not using it and very, VERY reasonable charges for sending a FAX and no charges for receiving a FAX.

Need a phone line to receive a one-time fax or voicemails on a particular project, auction, or job search? Free service K7 hands out 10-digit Seattle-area phone numbers that can answer calls with customized voicemail greetings or accept faxes. You can access both the audio files and fax documents through your sign-up account, and the only restrictions are a 20-message/fax limit (the site starts deleting the oldest after that) and an account wipe out after 30 days of inactivity. Other than that, you've got a free bin to keep your personal numbers private and still get at your messages.
用视频游戏机Wii的游戏棒Wiimote做出来的交互式白板
你还可以从这个卡耐基梅隆大学的研究者Johnny Chung Lee的主页上看到另外几个用Wiimote玩出来的花样：Tracking Your Fingers with the Wiimote，Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the Wii Remote
这个人还在网上出售一种简易DV稳定器：http://littlegreatideas.com/steadycam/，从视频的效果来看相当不错。
看来只要会玩，也是能做出创新的啊。

Asus W500G premium 比buffalo 的内存要大： 32MB vs 16mb。
还真有人一根筋非要买buffalo ？
Linksys Kiss Media Player 1600 makes out with Linux
I splashed out on a KISS 1600 media player the other day, hoping to stream music and videos from my PC to my TV in the living room. It ships with an application called PC-Link, which runs on your PC and streams your media over your network, but unsurprisingly this is Macindows only. Funny that, considering the Kiss 1600 itself runs Linux. Anyway, a quick search soon resulted in a few Linux applications that have been created to fill the gap. After almost-successfully trying PC-Link using Wine I settled on the cross-platform Kiss Now! from Nidaware. There are various other solutions available (see links below), but Kiss Now! is graphical, simple, and exactly what I was looking for. Most importantly, it works, but only after a little tinkering……

just noticed that the fan is loaded as a module, so it is very easy to shut it of and turn it on again
(if you want to turn of the led, it is done the same way)
to remove it:
rmmod wdc-fan
to load it again:
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17.14/kernel/arch/arm/mach-oxnas/wdc-fan.ko
so, does anyone know how I can see the temp?
[edit] I also noticed /usr/local/wdc/heat-monitor when I ran ps aux
when I ran the heat-monitor from the terminal I got this output:
[root@Colosus wdc]# ./heat-monitor
WD NetCenter/2NC Temperature Monitor $Revision$
Setting fan state to Off, speed 0%
Get temperature for device /dev/sda
Open pipe to "/usr/sbin/smartctl -d ata -A /dev/sda"…
…done; got temperature, 51 degrees.
Get temperature for device /dev/sdb
Open pipe to "/usr/sbin/smartctl -d ata -A /dev/sdb"…
…done; got temperature, 52 degrees.
Got 2 readings, hottest is 52 deg.
Setting fan state to Off, speed 0%
and then the fan went of.. for a few minutes
