Netflix Player by Roku Runs Linux
May 20th, 2008 admin
This $100 dollar wonder runs Linux. At least this is why I believe it does. By looking at their agreements we can see:
Certain components of the software included with the Roku Product are subject to separate license
terms, including “free” or “open source” software (“Separately Licensed Code”). Some of the Separately Licensed Code is licensed
under the terms and conditions of the “free” or “open source” license and is not subject to the License above or the Limited
Warranty below. As required by the terms of the relevant Separately Licensed Code licenses, Roku makes the “free” and “open
source” code provided under such licenses, and Roku’s modifications to such code, available on Roku’s website, at no charge. The
following third party software is also included.
Which does not defiantly mean that it runs Linux but:
This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/).
Which also does not defiantly mean Linux, but:
With it’s small form factor and the fact that it is sub-$100 and it runs off of flash memory, I believe it does.
If this is the case, then I would love to see how to stream Netflix on a normal Linux/Mac box without having to use IE.
I believe that if they are implementing IE and Windows media formats behind the scenes that they might be infringing on some sort of License agreement with Microsoft. Which sucks.

QR(Quick Response) Codes
April 21st, 2008 admin
This is an image of the first paragraph on QR Codes on Wikipedia embedded in a QR code. I made it using this page: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
“A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in Japan where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional code.” - Wikipedia
QR Codes are basically our standard bar codes, but super amp’d up so they can hold a lot more information.
Here are some examples: Read MORE »»
SSH/SCP/SFTP I love them all.
April 7th, 2008 admin
I pretty much use ssh for everything. I use it mostly to connect to my home/web/this server and use it as an interface. The best program to use alongside ssh is screen.
To install both ssh and screen, you may do this:
- sudo apt-get install ssh
- sudo apt-get install screen
If I were good with words, I would write a poem for ssh. But alas, I am not. So, you get the first page from the Wikipedia Entry.
Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged over a secure channel between two computers. Encryption provides confidentiality and integrity of data. SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow the remote computer to authenticate the user, if necessary.
Here are a few of the best SSH/SCP commands EVER:
- ssh server.com
- scp server.com:./ /home/local/downloadhere/
- Popular/Best SSH/SCP/Clients (mostly for windows, because linux usually already has tools built in.):
- WinSCP
- Putty
- gFTP
- the normal commands that come with Linux(ssh, scp)

JSP Crystal Reports
February 7th, 2008 adminThis is my working sample of running a crystal report through a jsp. It turns out to be very pretty and gives you many options. As I suggested in a comment. I would really advise on downloading Eclipse IDE + the Business Objects Plugin. This will give you most, if not all the utilities you need to put you in the right direction.
If you have any questions, please post in the comments.
Thanks,
Daniel
