I don’t know how many times I have been presented with the stupid adobe flash update software when rebooting computers at home, at work, at family members’ houses. Adobe seems to have an update every couple days, in fact I dare say that I actually spend more time updating flash and adobe acrobat reader products more than I use them. This does not upset me because I don’t like getting up to date software, it is the fact that the update prompt doesn’t happen when I actually am initiating the program. There is a big difference from going to open a pdf file and getting an update recommendation prompt, and getting one right on windows startup. My beef with this usage scenario is the fact that it is incredibly easy for a malware program to emulate the adobe updater. If they release a popup or malware program that looks like the adobe updater, many people will just click it because it is normal to receive these update prompts essentially EVERY time the user reboots the computer. It is extremely excessive.

Anyways, rant ends there…. Here is how to disable automatic updates in flash. (keep in mind the method for doing this is EXTREMELY counterintuitive)

STEP 1
Here we go step one… Visit this website: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.html

Now deselect the “Notify me when an update to Adobe Flash Player is available.” as seen here:



Confused? Well adobe works with your browser when you visit this website in order to let you deselect the update notification. Done and Done…

On to disabling Adobe Reader Updates…,

STEP 1: Open Adobe Reader, Click Edit then Preferences.

STEP 2: Now Click on the Updater Section and choose “Do not download or install updates automatically”

Now you can sit back and laugh, because you don’t have to deal with Adobe’s Stupid updates anymore.

-P.S. if you still have adobe speed launch opening on startup, do yourself a favor and get rid of it. Follow my guide here : http://www.exoid.com/?p=72 and look for adobe speed launch somewhere in the startup settings and nuke it.

Introduction:
AutoVid is an automated WMV video encoder suitable for encoding high quality video from mkv and avi formats to wmv formats which are playable on the PC and also the XBOX 360.

AutoVid allows you to setup source and destination paths, and automatically encode the files that show up in the source path to a wmv file in the destination path. When teamed with automated torrent downloads, it is a powerful method of automatically download, encoding and placing videos or television shows into your media library that can be accessed by both computers and media center extenders.
It should also be noted that AutoVid is not a true program, it is a BATCH FILE SYSTEM, or collection of scripts and programs that facilitate encoding, the work is done by the programs used by AutoVid

So I finally updated the wordpress version on my site, from 2.3 RC1 to the latest wordpress. I am curious to see if security features work better, so I don’t get spam attempt emails every 5 minutes going forward. The backend design is pretty sweet, and looks very slick (see image)

Backend view.

Hopefully I will have some new content soon.
Projects on the horizon:

• Canon HF100 review:
• Tour of my CarPC.
• Asus VH226H monitor.
• Windows 7 Information.

UPDATE:

Project completed! Here is the Youtube video of it in action:

You can still view the worklog(more pictures and guide to building NES PC!) here:

Here are two pictures of my next project:

Can you guess what I’m going to do with these goodies?
That’s right, I will be building a retro gaming computer using my favorite mini-itx board the D201GLY2, and my trusty companion that has been in the family for longer than most of my brothers and sisters. The goal with this build is going to be complete sleeper looks. What I mean by that is that the NES will be absolutely indistinguishable from a stock NES, completely stealth. I have seen a lot of NES’s built into computers on the web, but none have a completely stock look. In fact the majority look like frankenstein hack jobs. Hopefully mine will only look like that if you open the case. I have some original ideas that will make this build very unique and hopefully pretty gosh dang awesome.
