These instructions are a great 5 minute guide to using iTunes at work. My mini at home already has SSH access enabled, so fire up Putty, make a tunnel, install the helper app and Boom! You've got music at work

This is just the weirdest. Not three minutes ago my Norwegian mobile phone that I haven't had turned on since christmas suddenly turned itself on, and just a second thereafter my smoke alarm went bananas. I can smell no smoke, no smoke outside, no smoke in the entrance, not anywhere. What's going on? Normally I would just assume it malfunctioned, but my mobile phone turned itself on!

At the moment its very quirky since there isn't much info on making FrontRow plugins, or so I thought. Yesterday I read about PyeTV, an EyeTV integration for FrontRow written in Python using FrontPython. Jay! I love Python! And all this while I had been betting to read about it at Alan's blog.

But Nikon has low noise up to 3200 ISO so Canon should do its best to do better) and sensor-based image stabilizing. If you need to cut back, Canon, I can do without live view.
