I've also tried to stream Hulu on the Nintendo Wii with similar success. Has Hulu blocked the Wii as well? Thanks for the info.

I used the workaround for my PS3 with proxomitron and got to the Hulu website but now I'm getting the message, 'This video is not available on your platform'. Obviously Hulu is on to the workaround. Is there a workaround for the 'workaround'? Thanks! I’m really frustrated.

I found that my Samsung 40" Series 6 TV had a display mode of "Just scan" to fix the problem. Without it, all four sides of the picture were indeed cut off.

And it is a pity nothing came out of it. Have you dropped the development altogether as you were considering? Will you open the source then? Such tool would be particularly useful if it would include an importer from non-gtfs format data (csv?). Most local travel agencies maintain their data in unpolished formats that could be completed (polished) in your system, thus avoiding the necessity to re-type transportation data one by one from scratch. Otherwise thumbs up, it is very nicely done! This is really cool. And it is a pity nothing came out of it. Have you dropped the development altogether as you were considering?

Right now, the PS3 only has Flash version 9, so you can't watch videos on more and more web sites. (The number of sites requiring 10 increases daily, but they now include sling.com, hulu.com, fox.com, nbc.com, etc.) And no, there is no way for you to update the version of flash on your PS3 on your own. It will have to be a system update from Sony. Given that Flash 10 came out the same day that Sony released Flash 9 for the PS3, I wouldn't hold your breath. Sony does NOT appear to be in a hurry to upgrade us all so we can actually use the internet. (I guess I can't _really_ complain, Flash 9 is still better than flash on an iPhone, i.e. no Flash at all.)

]]> Comment on Solaris Backup Server using ZFS and rsync by eric http://www.ypass.net/blog/2009/03/solaris-backup-server-using-zfs-and-rsync/comment-page-1/#comment-1277 eric Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:03:56 +0000 http://www.ypass.net/blog/?p=94#comment-1277 <a href="#comment-1273" rel="nofollow">@David</a> Actually, the more I thought about it this morning, the more I realized how awesome that idea is. A zfs filesystem per server also lets you have varying retention rates for each host, shows you exactly how much space each host is taking, as well as allowing you to nuke a specific hosts backups... all of which are really nice features. As such, I implemented your suggestion today with some minor changes. I make a ZFS filesystem for each host, and each host gets its own snapshot as soon as its backup is complete. I'll need to test it for at least a week or so to make sure it works as expected, but if you want to test it along with me I can send you a new version. @David
