Actually, it’s just my curse, I’m sure. I only ever get good (subjective, I know) ideas for posts when I’m nowhere near a computer. And it’s rare for me to be nowhere near a computer. So I end up writing posts about how I always fail to write down my good blog post ideas. Riveting.
And I really don’t have a good excuse for yesterday, either. I was on the computer most of the evening, up to my bottom hole in network file protocols. See, a recent update to the firmware on my network attached storage (NAS) ruined the perfectly fine NFS friendship it had with my AppleTV. In fact, with any computer running OS X Tiger. So I needed to find another way to mount my network share on my AppleTV. I went through AFP and straight SMB before settling on a little cross-platform app called Sharity. It seems to be working really well right now. In fact, it’s working better than the NFS method ever did.
In another tasty bit of AppleTV news, some mad genius has created a kext that lets you control the ATV using any device with a Web browser, even an iPhone! I can’t wait to try this out.
