Finished Chapter 13 – DVD Ripping. Took quite a while as I was doing actual ripping sessions which required hours. Next up: Hardware Upgrading (filmed some footage this morning; more tomorrow) and end credits (also needs footage)!

The Crunch
“The Crunch” is a term used by video-game studios to refer to the time nearing the end of a particular project when the development team spends insane hours on completing their work. I am going through my own such period trying to complete the EYNTO Show. I spent 9 hours today on it (!) and was able to finish Chapter 12.
Next up: Chapter 13 (DVD Ripping). Interesting note: There are 3,034 files across 187 folders in the EYNTO directory on my computer. 6.21GB of material; mostly from the voice work, video screen captures, images used. Camera footage is only 1GB.

New Firefox Vulnerability…
New Firefox (1.0.3) Vulnerability out which allows one to create .bat files remotely. This signifies that one could make your computer upload documents to an FTP server (series of commands) in addition to the whole “delete your root directory” thing.
Click on the link [link removed] for a demo that will create a directory on your C:\ drive called “jmcardleFF”.
edit: ehh… ain’t working. Anywho, check on the source anyways :p

EYNTO Progress…
Completed Chapter 10 of the EYNTO Show. It is approx. 7 minutes long which translates into about 21 hours worth of work. I am now half-way into editing Chapter 11, which is on the topic of Download Types (ISOs vs. Rips, etc.)
What is left? A segment on troubleshooting downloads (chapter 12), ripping DVDs (chapter 13), then a section on installing computer upgrades w/ shopping tips (chapter 14&15) and the end credits (chapter 16). The show is already 40 minutes long as is. I’m almost finished…
Post-production, I will author a DVD and create a director’s commentary.
UPDATE: Just completed Chapter 11. Now onto Chapter 12 and download troubleshooting.

Ottawa Wifi Map!
So I went out today with my wifi-enabled PDA at 30 locations across the downtown core of Ottawa. My objective was to identify the wireless networks in the area, which would then be placed on a map with further information.
I sniffeed each sample area 5/6 times and wrote the results on paper. Once all the data was gathered I produced a map of the location using Google Maps and Photoshop. Finally, I created the HTML backbone that would provide you with information on each location (imagemap, JS database).
The result:

Note: The webpage will not work with Internet Explorer as it cannot properly render .png images (or much of anything else). It does work correctly with Firefox.
