Mini-site for LeeDrOiD Desire ROMs now online!

Lee Bailey is the creator/“cook” of a great ROM set he calls “LeeDrOiD”. Keeping everything as close to possible as stock, Sense is included with FroYo (Android 2.2), while extra features such as CIFS / OpenVPN / ext4 support adds more value to a power user who wants more.

I’ve setup a mini-site:http://leedroid.protogenlabs.com to help keep the XDA-Developers thread clean, while also providing a one-stop shop for all LeeDrOiD releases, addons, change logs, etc.

Automatic Super Mario World - Kumikyoku [Remastered in 1080p]

Note that Mario DOES NOT MOVE at all, no one is controlling him, as only the level’s elements push him around. Proof is found after patching your own SMW Japanese ROM with ‘kumikyoku.ips’!

Force refresh of MP3 tags in HTC Sense Music on Android

After recently getting my new HTC Desire, which is an absolute dream to use, I started copying over my fave audio tracks. I noticed that the HTC Sense UI Music player renders album art quite nicely, and when the phone is locked, overlays the current playing song with art. I then set forth editing and downloading art for all of the tunes that I was copying, using Mp3tag v2.46. It works great, albeit tediously, with the exception that once you disconnect the phone and Android remounts the SD Card, the Music app is not updated…

Cool down your Acer EasyStore H340 Windows Home Server

I have recently “relocated” to a new office where sunlight seems to beam in constantly during the latter half of the day. My H340 Home Server was running quite hot because of this, and I had found some tips that helped to decrease the temperature by almost 20C! Acer’s Home Server has suffered this problem as many users have noted, however you can’t really blame them because the box is a Micro-iTX implementation with 4 hard drives squished into a very neat (and small) cube design.

georgeM.name has been resurrected!

That’s right folks, after a long hiatus (to no one’s care I’m sure), georgeM.name has returned! This site serves as my personal home on the web, and it’s a coding playground of sorts for me. The main blog of this site is where I will ramble on about all sorts of random things that don’t fit in Twitter and Facebook’s maxLength fields. At the bottom of the site you’ll notice links to a bunch of social networking/media sites. Clicking on them will list all of my recent activities on that site for you to quickly peruse and enjoy…
