Yeah, it's not the best but it's easy to use with minimal fuss.
Might take a look at word press, being able to edit from my iPad would be cool.

Here's the perfect can for a coffee can antenna. The proportions are nearly perfect:
http://www.caffecalabria.com/tins.html
Damn good coffee, too. I highly recommend the Calabria Blend.
I've built a couple of these.
Get a USB wifi adapter that has an antenna connector - the Alfa brand is excellent and inexpensive. The wifi adapter is small enough to just plug directly into the connector on the coffee can. This avoids a coax cable and resultant cable loss. You can use a reasonably long USB cable and it will work fine, without the signal loss from a long coax cable.
Forget about Pringles cans - they are bunk - the inside of the Pringles can is NOT metalic.
Use the basic "Yuban" design, but use an online calculator to determine the feed-point for the Cafe Calabria can (or similar-sized can.) The longer, skinner can will work better than a fat Yuban can.
I epoxied a nut to the side of the can, so that it can be mounted on a mini camera tripod.
I drilled a hole in the can for the female N connector that you solder the feed wire to. I picked up a metal SMA to N adapter (NOT a cable, but a solid adapter.) That way, the wifi adapter just hangs off the side of the can.
Here's the wifi adapter. Actually, it will probably do a pretty good job without the cantenna. I took my cantenna out on the balcony and can pick up 200+ signals from around the neighborhood and as far away as across San Diego Bay, a couple of miles. They have a number of models, ranging up to 2W power. I haven't heard good things about the 2W model, though. Stick with 1W or the 500mW model that I used.

i thought this would be as good a place as any to post this. i suffered for the past couple years with that annoying ass gap between songs when itunes plays mixed cds back. just the other month i figured out how to get rid of it. it consolidates the album to one track, but the gap is gone. how to:
insert the cd and pull it up on itunes. click the bar on the far left to arrange the cd by number of song. select all songs that you want to combine into a single track. go to advanced --> join cd tracks. then reimport the cd and voila, listening bliss.
sorry if i'm just a dumb ass and you all already know this ****, but if i can help just one gap sufferer... well, then my post won't die in vain :p

What application do you use to render those frames? Is that application multi-core and multi-thread compatible?
I use Lightwave 9.6 and perhaps Lightwave 10 in the near future. I use Digital Performer 7 and allot of virtual instruments with high processing effects. I am also getting Final Cut X when it comes out in June. It's hard to know with cinibench what they are using to get the speed performance they are getting. I also heard a guy from Newtek tell me that the xx55 computers are much faster with radiosity in the 3D then the xx53 and xx54s from 2008 and 2009. I'm just so confused but so in need of a fast computer for my business.

I realize that there are so many different ways to crunch WUs but when I was just curious to see how the team was doing I scrolled to the bottom and worked my way up and saw some very unusual numbers. What follows are the ones I thought stood out as very odd indeed: (rank, name, points, WUs completed)
#1807 jmlloyd 0 � 12
#1806 ArchistudentG5 0 � 86
#1805 ARCHstudent 0 � 14
#1774 (really out there) Lalso_Panaflex 2 � 2518
#1771 libertforall 3 � 30
#1542 Skunkworker 52 � 262
#1161 wbrowne1 308 � 468
#604 micah 3717 � 34887
I don't really understand what circumstances could prevail that would cause so few points from so many Work Units :confused: :confused:

I'm buying my first Mac, and I'd like to save a few bucks on the display. I've read good things about the Dell 2005FPW, for example, which can be had for under $600 depending on which specials they're running that week/day/hour.
Is the 20" Cinema Display that much ($400) better? They're both 20" wide aspect. Are there other displays I should look at? The widescreen part isn't the deciding factor, but I use it as a point of reference vs. the Apple display.

Bought them from Guitar Center less then 2 months ago. Used for maybe 20 hours. Original boxes and all manuals and plastic will be shipped with them. They have no cosmetic flaws. They are in absolute perfect condition.
$235 plus shipping from 75025 (or local pick up in the DFW area)

I am using the accelerate framework, but get "implicit declaration of function" warnings when using the sgetrf() and sgetrs() functions.
The code works fine, but those two warnings annoy the hell out me.
I don't think I should define those functions anywhere since they are already defined in the clapack header.
Any idea how to get rid of these warnings? Thanks.
#import "MyObject.h"
#import <Accelerate/Accelerate.h>
#import <vecLib/vecLib.h> //does not get rid of warning
#import <vecLib/clapack.h> //does not get rid of warning
// #import <Accelerate/vecLib/clapack.h> //does not compile

Can I just suggest you dont do your site in frames? They are fairly outdated now and can ruin the chances of spiders from google and other search engines finding out what is on your site for indexing.
At least thats what I've been told, but from experience, browsers handle frames differently so its another thing that can make your site look wierd in another browser.
As you are doing your site in Flash, why not have your films load within that flash player? Look up using External SWFs with your movie (so it doesnt bump up the file size, and allows the movies to be preloaded as an when they are needed). This will help if you want the videos to stream, and Flash compressed videos can be incredibly small. This will also help your content not get stolen.. but if your not worried about that then you can certainly go down the Quicktime route.

If he got a simple adapter it'd be possible. Though, I don't think they make just simple Composite-HDMI or whatever the iMac uses like they do VGA-DVI. If he got a converter box ($100-$300) it's possible.
OP, why would you want to run a Genesis on the iMac? Do that retro goodness some justice and buy a CRT :cool:. Seriously, good quality ones are 15 bucks on Craigslist. Computer monitors are even given out now.
Adapters to do it don't really exist - we have adapters to take HDMI/DVI sources to MDP, but that's it. You'd have to get hold of a composite to HDMI upscaler, and then run it through the HDMI to MDP adapter. That's a lot of steps for it to go wrong, not work or simply look awful - and it'd also be expensive.
My advice would simply be to buy a screen for the NES.

I found this page with memory specifications for the new iMac (Mid 2011):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4621
I've ordered a 27" with the 3,4Ghz i7 CPU. I would like to do a RAM upgrade from the 4GB to 8GB.
Which RAM will you recommend?
I found these:

Are they fine or should I buy something else?

Cause well, I got TechTV too but my local Apple Store (Bellevue, WA) is saying that they're not carrying it, and was kinda upset on that regards.
