Ninja - Fast lethal and versitile.
Zombie's loose there head to easy and are slow.
Pirate's are kind of one dimentional and prone to ego and bribe issues.
A ninja could sneak behind either one and kill them in seconds easy as that.

Mitv stands for My Internet TV and is a project i have been wanting to work on almsot since the days of the broken but now i think i have a good way to do it. The idea is to have a central place holding IPTV content like Hak5 as well as "obtained" shows i like and to be able to have a nice place to sit down and watch such content. The issue though is that i wanted to spend the least amount i could and it had to run on mac because that is what i like. I also had to have atleast some portable content available to me.
Here is how the project will be layed out. The base machine or the brain as i will call it from now on is my old iBook G4 1.2ghz. I am pumping the audio out via a RCA to Sterio jack to my sterio system and the video out via a mini DV to composite cable. This pretty much turns my TV into a second monitor. Now attached to the iBook will be a 4 drive firewire enclosure with 4 320gb HDs for storing the content. I wanted an 8 bay but it's not in the budget currently. This will also be storage for my own video content/back up hense the mass of space.
Now how do i want to watch this content in an organized way? Well at first i said front row but that not only doesn't work on older macs but also can't play AVi and WMV files very well if at all. So i am going with 1 of 2 Mac media front ends but that choice will be made a bit later in the project. I'll still have a little issue with WMV but i am working on that as well.
Next up i need a remote. Well for now the system will be controled over VNC using my Palm|TX or laptop which ever is closer at the time. I'm also looking into some RF keyboard and mouse stuff for general use of the computer.
Upgrades down the line: I would like to create a myth box and use the iBook as the front end for that. I would like to do a version of the RF Modulator/VLC Remote to send the content to other places in my apt mostly my bedroom. As well as a few other things working off the central brain.
I'll have pictures here as i go along with some updates on what i have done.
Step 1: Attaching the iBook to the TV Coming between august 5th-7th. The cable is in the mail :).

Mine i found kicking around google looking for AVs. I will switch it up once i get gimp installed on my laptop. I do kind of have a fondness for death tux though :)

Thanks for the shout out guys. Gave this ol boy a smile to see that. :)

I had an idea for the dvd cover print out. How about a DVD case size and a CD case size for us that want to hand out copies. The little slim line cases are pretty cheap and would look nice as a hand out with a cover.

I'm from a corn field does that count?

Wow that was a waste of my time :(

More fun facts are coming by the minute.
First some cords were found in a message about project theta
=== BEGIN MSG:Memorilis Titor ===
Access Code: dioswkgxnI
Address: eon8:7106
Manual Code: CTheta:S2 (Usage)
ETA: 00:04:56:00:00
Suggested Insertion Point: 33°56 up 118°24 left
Resynchronize as soon as possible. I 5100 CANNOT BE LOST.
=== END MSG:Memorilis Titor ===
The cords point to LAX airport. This is also the same time zone connected to the clock.
Also a new Myspace page has opened up here http://myspace.com/eon8 with the person suposably being from Halltown West Virgina which you can see by highlighting the whole page to show the text.
Looks like about 3 hours left which makes it exactly midnight pacific time.
EDIT: BTW there also seems to be a connection of both IT and Aviation as can be seen by reading the wikipedia page on eon8.

As i mentioned on Digg this thing screams Viral Marketing for a first person shooter or MMO with a war like theme. I love these damn things. I got so sucked into i love bees and our colony.
If i was to take a wacky guess i have a feeling this is for Halo 3.

It was either Hackermedia, Twit, or one of the IPTV listing sites that i saw a blurb about the show. I was in at show 1 and have been a fan since.

I have to add a special one to my list replacing DVD Manager. It might be 35 bucks but it's damn worth it if you have a huge DVD collection like me.

Here are 2 insane Pump It Up vids from YouTube.

Pure All Out Sickness
For anyone who does not know Pump It Up is a Korean DDR clone that a lot of people like better because of it's smoother more dance like steps.

I don't even think microshaft would touch this tool box. Is this the first "Real Hacker" to grace the H5 boards?

thanx for the input,
DLSS great link he had some good pointers
now, off to searching for the right one
what do you think would be the best one i could get for the least amount of money?
also what system specs should i be looking for?
ps. thanx ShinmaRyuu I hope to be here a long while
500mhz-1 gig pentium/AMD processor
256-512mb of ram
10-20 gig HD
CD-Rom
USB Ports
Ethernet/wireless card slots
I based the specs of the requirements for Ubuntu 6.06. I have got it running on less as i said a old Compaq Armada but if you stick to this it will make you much more happy.

That is actualy pretty cool looking.
-
I don't know if you get it but there is a free paper called the penny press that is local to the area in the US at least and you can find lots of ads in there. That and check for any computer fairs in the area.
For linux i really enjoy Ubuntu and i got it running really well on a really old Compaq Armada. I had to jump the ram to 192 i think but other than that it ran pretty good.
As for the machine go for an old Dell or HP machine they are normaly the easyest to find parts for and can be had for a steal. I'd say somewhere between 300 and 400 bucks should get you a solid machine that will do everything you need it to.
BTW good first question for a new guy. We need more people like yourself around these parts :).

Ok i did a test using my macbook and the cable i did get and it worked out well so i am hopeful for this project. I just sent tonight for the new correct cable from apple so i should have a pic and info about that coming in the next few days.
A new idea i am kicking around is building the 4 bay fire wire enclosure and the ibook itself into a custom plexy case that would look a bit like an old record player if it was made by apple. Maybe even adding in a iPod dock right into the case. This is long off though as i still have alot to do just to get the basics ready.
Also a quick note tvguy, moonlit, and myself have been having some fun talks over in IRC about how to make the IPTV experiance more like a normal TV experiance using special software and scripts. If you guys wanna yakk with us about this hit us up in IRC and will have some jam sessions.
Full step 1 coming later this week.
