More Pictures
Well I finally got all the images off of my camera and on my site. This has been a fun and tiring week so far.
Another reason not to bother with freepay (aka freeipods.com)
Just got an email stating the following:
Important Change to Terms & Conditions
This email concerns an important change to the Terms & Conditions for [SiteAddress].
* With a start date of March 1, 2006 – users of FreePay websites have 90 days to complete all offer requirements.
* Upon completion of all offer requirements, existing users will need to print a “Redemption Form” that must be filled out in its entirety and mailed with a postmarked date no later than 30 days of completing their offer requirements.You will find an indication of how many days you have left to complete the requirements on the Status page. When you have completed the requirements you will be able to download the redemption form from the Status page.
To coincide with this change, look out for an update soon that will make it even easier to refer friends!
Best wishes
– The FreePay Team
Basically making it harder and more troublesome to get an iPod (or other freepay offered item). Here is what it says on my freepay member status page:
You have until 5/30/2006 to complete the full requirements, including all credits for your referrals.
90 days to get 5 referrals. Yeah right! Oh well maybe there loosing money giving away iPods lol!
DTV released as Democracy (Linux Preview)
The long awaited, open-source Democracy platform is a project of the Participatory Culture Foundation allowing you to subscribe to video RSS feeds (including podcasts, video blogs, and BitTorrent feeds), watch fullscreen and share with friends.
So I checked out Democracy and was impressed at the layout and that I was actually able to download content right away from the predefined feeds. I started watching a recent rocketboom without a hitch. That isn’t to say that there are no bugs. Full screen works, but with multiple monitors it scretches across both screen thus not supporting xinerama. The channel menu does not work for me and when I went to the channel guide and clicked on “more…” for a channel it bombs out. I later found out that I needed to make sure you add the mozilla prefs as specified on the DemoTV wiki. There are alot of options for IPTV and I’m sure it will only grow. Democracy allows one to view all of these options easily and subscribing to feeds is straight forward and the interface seems intuative. It looks very promising and I look forward to a stable build soon. See screenshots inside….
Getting in Shape and Healthy
Yes. I know what you are thinking. It’s a new years resolution that will be short lived, but I think I’ve come to the point where I’m sick of being sick and tired. So I set out to find a few articles on getting back in shape without having to pay alot of money to the gym. The consensus is if I can get 20 min or more of intense cardio 3 times a week a could be loosing fat and staying fit. Here are some of the links I found that helped out:
So there is no more excuses for us geek not to do something about our health. Get out there and get moving.
Take a caffeine nap – Lifehacker
Take a caffeine nap – Lifehacker
I’ve seen this info in a couple of places but stumbled upon it again today. Take a look see. It is abasically saying to take a nap after drinking caffeine as a way to get a extra super power nap. Basically you drink a cup of coffee, soda, etc that as caffeine and then take a 15 min nap no longer no shorter. Interesting indeed. I think I might try it.
Birthday List 2006
Well here is my latest birthday list. Carla should be getting me an iPod and I just got a new phone so most items here are geared towards those things. If you need more ideas let me know. Thanks, Jeremy

Free iPod Bummer
Well I thought I was going to get a free ipod from ipods.freepay.com, but alas you cannot sign-up multiple users under the same address. Each account has to be from different addresses and have to sign up themselves 🙁 So I’m now back down to 2 referrals. I’m not sure if I will just quit or not. It makes me mad that FreePay (Gratis) is getting referral kickback money for the ones that they put on hold. I guess that is what I get for not reading “the fine print”. Maybe if I would get another referral in the next few weeks I would try again, but I signed up over 2 years ago so I think it might just be time to call it quits.
