Find lost ipod

Problem with ipods you can't call them right? However if you lose them at home, and you have wireless and you lost it up to a week or so ago you maybe in luck.

Get onto your wireless router config page and find the list of devices. On Tomato there is a device list that has a quality indicator that shows how strong signal is. If you can't identify which device MAC Addres is the ipod (look for a OUI tab), and turning stuff off doesn't help, search the first 6 digits of MAC adress here (capitals, no colons or spaces.
Lynksys might be here, you need to hunt it down
1.Go to the Setup tab.
2.Scroll down to 'DHCP Server' enable it.
3.Click on the "Status" tab and then on "Local Network".
4.Click "DHCP Clients Table".

Then you need to move the wireless router switched on but not plugged to internet around your house and look at signal strength of the router configuration page. point the antennae towards where you are looking. Compare what you get with laptop or cellphone to give you a guide as to what 'hot' is. If you are getting say 8 and everywhere in the room is the same then no good, move on. Once you are up to 30 then you're warm:hot. If you can't seem to get a hotspot but you have a consistently high value in one room it is likely inside something in that room. Sudden wierd hotspots like in the middle of the room in the air means it is obscured but not completely, in between things, e.g. books and you are crossing a 'line of sight'. Good luck.

watch UK TV and US Netflix

Not free but damned reasonable

check out usvideo.ca
$5 a month. Cheaper than a dvd hire.

iplayer works fine, <>


couldnt download shows to watch later but could watch fine.

US netflix just great. 1 month free trial. You need prepaid credit card from super C or Metro supermarkets, details on how to register that at a US address are at USvideo but basically you call them up and tell them you live in the states and give a us address, any old address.

Hulu plus? Meh. I dont like US TV much so there's not much point, and expensive.

To connect your computer to the TV try one of these if your computer has s-video out.


And you are good to go, enjoy, just makesure you have the bandwidth to watch film after film after film.

World cup on iPhone $4.99, candada, watch world cup, fifa, listen world cup

I looked everywhere for radiostreams so I could listen in the car/at work. Ca n'existe pas.

But the tvuplyer app is $4.99 and you can watch matches from there on the iPhone. I heard Rogers have some deal too but I think it's more expensive. Quality is OK, bit blurry at times, better than nothing
Here's tvu player http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/tvuplayer/id323640984?mt=8

Also best world cup info app is from the Telegraph. You get scores and start times by push notification

right! Ingerland!

you can check out how it looks down here:

iphone to phone free N America

OK so you will need the following
1) Google voice number (see here for how to set up from Canada)
2) an Ipkall number from here
3) a Sipsorcery account here
4) a softphone installed on your iphone, like whistle phone, fring
Total cost = $zero

Then,
1)Register google voice at your ipkall number. You'll need a voip account to do that. There are loads to choose from, you just need a sip account name, password and proxy for a day. Probably you can get a free one say voipcheap that gives you a couple of minutes free trial. You need to forward your ipkall number to your voip account so you can answer it. Google calls you and you have to dial the two numbers they show you on the screen. After that you don't need voip account and google will think ipkall is your home number.
2)Forward ipkall to your sipsorcery account, username, proxy is sip1.sipsorcery.com
3)Register your softphone to sipsorcery account
4)put this dial plan in sipsorcery, numver 10, simple plan. Change the bits they tell you to change.
5) Now you can call from your softphone to the whole of north america for free, civilization at last...

Free Calls to States & Canada

So soon I'll get this phone call thing out of my system.

My latest find is google voice..

Unavailable in Canada..no but yeah but, if you accept the invite when you are logged into this then all is good.

Google voice is a callback service and you need a US number to set it up on. Solution is to buy one in Canada, say here for a couple of dollars. Then register for a free US number with IPKALL and register the Canada number to IPKALL number.

So it goes...google to IPKALL to Canada number.

Then you can call the states AND CANADA! for free* as well. You get some nice features, text transcribes of voicemails, SMS and recording.
*Well you pay incoming on the canada number, not figured out that leg for free...yet but it is 1c/min.
