Fuzzydice server move!

Hey everyone! The Fuzzydice server has moved to a new system. You will need to make sure that when you login to your email, your username is your full email address. That is pretty much the only change.

 

Any questions or issues, just let me know!

Xbox 360 Media Server on Linux

After several irritated attempts to use one product/software/hack after another, I have finally found something that fits. I have tried uShare, Media Tomb, hacked up python scripts, Wine with various stuff, Amahi and fuppes. Nothing seems to serve media to the Xbox 360 without some stupid problem. Half of the serving programs out there don’t support transcoding. Others support DLNA but not the weird requirements the Xbox 360 has for folder structure. It’s completely irritating trying to find something. Finally, I’ve stumbled pretty much on accident upon Twonky Media Server. Yes, it’s $20, but it seriously is the best program to serve up media to your Xbox under Linux. Windows obviously has WMP or a bunch of others and Mac OS X has Rivet (my favorite) or Connect360. But Twonky works on Windows and Mac as well. Personally, it has met every criteria I’ve had for serving media. It can transcode, serve music, pictures, videos, doesn’t crash, doesn’t require me to meet 21348230184321 dependencies and just seems to work. Well worth the $20.

Engaged!

We’re engaged! As time goes on I’m sure we will post updates about planning, wedding stuffs and so forth. You are likely to find more information on Facebook however. So friends, please look on Facebook for details :)

Sorry for the small outage!

There were a few updates that needed done to the hardware of the Fuzzydice server. There will be another outage hopefully this week to do some additional upgrades. I’ll try to let everyone know in advance this time.

New job!

July 2008 began a very stressful time in my life. Many of you know the story. Over the last year and a half I have struggled to keep sane while looking for new jobs, pushing my resume and trying to keep things going at Cyberlink. Today I am glad to announce that I have a contract position with Omnicity Corp. After 90 days if everything goes well they will be converting me to a full-time employee. I am very grateful for this opportunity and very excited to see what is in store for me at Omnicity. Thank you to everyone who has supported me during this stressful time! You are amazing.

Please excuse the dust…

I’m considering moving my primary site to WordPress. If you can see this, I’m either still toying around with it or I forgot to change the post. Either way, you can probably just ignore this message completely.

Progress!

So far everything is coming together with the site. Yes, it’s stupid easy to put together something in WordPress, but I had to edit the header and the colors. That’s hard work! I mean, you have to open a text editor, edit the file, upload it… <5 minutes later> And there we are! More content will follow as time permits. Probably.
