It’s an iPhone spin on the classic children’s card game, though all ages can have fun with it

Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Along with the hardware we received the usual product disk claiming to contain the latest VPN client.

After chucking it in the drive and loading it up we discovered that in the place of the usual boring software was an audio disk with 12 tracks of Spanish music.

Here’s a sample from track one:
Track One Sample

And this is the disk it was on:

Anyone else had the same thing ? Or know what the track is ?

For more information see the XBMC Remote Support Site. or the iTunes Store.

Here’s a preview video

Sorry for the bad quality, my phone was struggling to focus on the iphone at a short distance, but hopefully it will give you an idea of what to expect

Things are coming along pretty good, and should be able to release to the app store within the next week or so.

Until then here’s a preview.

What if you want to backup over the network ?

The following patch will allow Time Machine support on network drives

Open up a terminal and execute the following


defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1


Restart/open Time Machine and you should now see available network shares!

I wanted to use the default font in xterm (from the misc-fixed family) but found it dosen’t get enabled by default because it’s a bitmap font.

This can be overridden by editing/creating ~/.fonts.conf and placing the following in it


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<selectfont>
<acceptfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="family">
<string>fixed</string>
</patelt>
</pattern>
</acceptfont>
</selectfont>
</fontconfig>


Then run

sudo fc-cache -fv

to update the font cache

You should see it report finding fonts in the misc dir

/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc: caching, new cache contents: 49 fonts, 0 dirs


Restart gnome (Ctrl-Shift-Backspace).

The font should then be selectable under the ‘Fixed’ Family.
Choose ‘SemiCondensed’ as the font style.

The result
