Bastard Sons of Dialup

Normally I dont like to post here about such topics since they belong in Local Meetups on the forums, but seeing how there is a short amount of time to organize I feel this is the best way for an outreach.

I will be in Orlando Florida with family for X-Mas. If anyone is interested in meeting up for some general fun, post here: http://forums.bsodtv.org/index.php?showtopic=478 I plan on bringing some essential toys and gizmos. The hotel I am at has a pool, so I am hoping I can sneak people in for some fun in the pool. If you havent realized by now, I enjoy getting physical as much as I enjoy tech. Every free second I have I wll gaurentee I am in the pool going nuts diving and swimming, something I cant do here often in New York Shitty.

DarkIdent will be in my hometown of NYC. He is making quite a trip to visit. We have been arranging some time to meet up, hang out, and generally cause some trouble. If you are in the NYC/NJ area and want to hang out, let us know by posting here: http://forums.bsodtv.org/NYC-t474.html I am pretty sure at some point Ugster and Mustang will crash at my place, plus there are quite of local misfits. DarkForist, Reaper, KP, plus the NYC2600 group. If you have the chance you should try and squeeze in some fun time of techno-terror with us.

We always we encourage people to meet up and hang out with fellow BSoD'ers and strengthen the community bonds of BSoD. However remember episode 1, use common sense and always take precautions when meeting people from the internet! Mustang nor myself has to host a meetup. Find people in your area and start to arrange a time and place to hang out in the name of BSoD. C'mon people. get off our lazy ass and start getting social! ITS FUN!

I (we) will try to get some footage of the event(s), but to be honest we are there to have fun, not to blog and record our lives, but anyone that has been to a BSoD meetup can tell you... its an adventure. Non-stop hacking and hilarity of such an off key deranged demeanor.

This is getting ri-fucking-diculous! Yet again we face another massive amount of hardware failure. This time I (Foxx) lost my entire hard drive I use to dump and edit my segments. Total meltdown, to the Nth degree... I lost most parts of 9 segments. Plus my camera is still on the firtz, so I cant exactly archive things on tape since the DV deck has more issues then Vouge. Ugster's Cam has a broken CCD, so he cant even record now. With the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, everyone has just been balls deep in family affairs as well.

Sorry for the drama, but its life. Pop in on IRC or Forums if you feel chatty or want to gripe, however bitching and complaining wont fix anything.

Ahhh, the long awaited Episode 26. Cold and rain have hit the east coast pretty hard, keeping a lot of us from going out to do out segments, Personally I wanted to do the last 2.4Ghz Wireless segment all in field, but I havent been able to get out long enough to record. Also, my camera took a total shit on me, so the long wait is totally my fault. We got together for a meetup in hopes that we could all get some cool footage done, just to find out my cam would not read/write to the DV deck. Oh well.

This episode brings you a nifty tutorial on getting the Playstation 2 EyeToy USB Cam working on a computer, although the segment is for Windows, it will work under OSX and Linux. Ugster shows Orb, a kick ass media streaming program for windows that lets you send out your movies, music, even live TV out to anything that can connect to the internet. Watching TV on the smartphone... bad ass. Mustang makes a USB mass storage box that is a "Digital historian's" wet dream, I love the pirate fan grills. great touch! The last 2.4ghz Wireless Scanning Tips and Techniques segment airs as well. With a lot of good information on how to use the 2.4Ghz gear we have been building over the past year. Check the shownotes on the forums! There is more than what was put into the show, I have some small 'Extra Features' with more detailed info about some of the extra stuff never shown on the show. This isnt the last of 2.4Ghz, as always your questions, comments, and queries can bring more 2.4Ghz stuff back in action. The minions and misfits like to do a lot of radio scanning with me, so expect some side segments and extra features in the future, but not as segments in the show itself.

If you do go out and about for some ol' techno-terror in the wireless wilderness, record or blog it. Lets see what you have learned over the past two years of BSoD, but remember, we do NOT condone criminal hacking. We dont mind stepping on some toes or in the gray areas, but don't show us how you DDoS Wifi with MDK3 deauth' attacks, steal passwords and files from open WiFi, or "break" into peoples open Access points!

Episode 26

iPod mp4 and xvid avi formats are available.

Due to critical hardware failure, episode 26 will need to be pushed back 1 month. Sorry for the delay. Shit happens. We have prereleases as usual if you really cant wait. Hit us up on IRC or browse around the filedump to find them.

This episode showcases the Ocarina Wii Cheat Code handler, Mustang explains Image Meta Data, Ophidian reviews the Maglite LED upgrade, and Foxx goes postal with Parabolic satellite dishes.

Episode 25

Episode 24 is released on time. I get into the basics of Wii RAM Hacking and some tips on 2.4Ghz Yagi Antennas, Mustang shows us some insight on the Thumbs.db file and how it could be a naughty little tid'bit, and Ugster shows some Smartphone (Motorola Q) Tweaks to make it not suck so hard.

Episdoe 24

Sorry for the wait, as some of you may know it was an American national holiday for the last release. We had an ill planned and abrupt meetup, and life was in the way. I wasnt able to get episode 23 released on time. Sue me! Episode 23 is only three segments long, but its long winded. I wanted to add more but we would have been well beyond our time constraints. No console hacking this month, but hopefully we will make up for it in the next.

Episdoe 23 is released, sorry for the delay.

Episdoe 22 is released as planned. Sorry for the delay, the camping trip and some local meetups got in the way.:

As usual iPod mp4 and xvid avi formats are available. You can hit the Episodes link for more mirrors.

We have been really busy this month, and with the camping trip coming up we have been and will be too busy to properly get Episode 22 out. We will release Episode 22 on June 6th, according to our 'First Friday of the month' schedule. Will more than likely be prereleased well before the intended June 6th date. If you want to get in on the action of Ep 22 production, as always hit the forums and give us input, or better yet get on IRC and let us know what your ideas are.

We are going camping! Care to join us? You can find more information on IRC and the Forums
