SlingBox! the TV extention to the Internet!


I have learned about the Slingbox from the BU IS714 class. After purchasing it last month, I would say the SlingBox is a pretty cool and great product - and I can watch CNBC in the classroom. The Slingbox is a extension device to bridging your media content from cable/Tivo/etc to Internet.

Windows XP x64 Edition, no VPN so far!


Windows XP x64 Edition. I installed on my Compaq laptop smoothly and found almost all drivers with no problem. However, there is no VPN clients I can use to login my school network environment.

I found the alternative VPN from Japanese website: PacketiX VPN 2.0 - Nevertheless, I have no idea how to configure the same as the Cisco VPN clients.

So........ I use the backup system as Windows Server 2003. ^_^

I read an article on WSJ this afternoon. It introduces the Pando free service - allow user to send out the email attachment up-to 1GB. The pando is using the Bit-Torrent, which is using broadly in Peer-to-Peer software, to transfer the files.

User can send out the single file or even a folder. It will be very useful to me sharing my collections with my friends.
