Happy Thanksgiving folks. Here's a classic RvB holiday video.
Since the C-SPAN web site crashes firefox you need to use Real Player by itself to watch live streams, just use this URL.

Bad C-SPAN, no donut.
Last night I set up ushare to stream videos from my PC to the Xbox, it's a lot more comfortable sitting on the couch to watch movies and now I can just download anything that I want to watch.
Setting things up wasn't too difficult, I had to add an extra NIC and run a crossover cable for the connection, I also had to set up IP masquerading which only requires 4 simple iptables rules. After that stuff is done just start up ushare and point it to your video directory, the Xbox will automatically see the share and let you browse videos.
If you don't have an Xbox ushare also works with the Playstation 3 or any other UPNP or DLNA device, there's also dedicated boxes that you can buy for your TV that just need a network connection.
There's some copies of the new Batman movie previews circling around the net, here's the Joker prologue which shows a bank robbery scene from the movie.
I have to say I haven't been this excited about a movie in a while, it's actually been several months since I went to the movies but I think I'll have to see this when it comes out. The story telling at the atmosphere seem to match the comics really well and the cast is awesome.
Update: It looks like Youtube has removed the video, you can still download it using the link below.
Download the high res version.
Here's a video from one of my favorite songs by Dragonforce. Every time I watch this I'm just amazed at the guitarists' skill.
