So the AppleTV has been out for almost 2 weeks now, and it's become pretty evident that the thing is pretty hackable, I'm seriously considering grabbing one and messing around with it, I'm thinking a bluetooth dongle, a wiimost sensor bar and a wiimote would make excellent additions to it, the only think i wonder about is that for a couple hundred bucks more I could get a full-on mac mini, which for my purposes probably makes more sense. hmmm, we shall see how things pan out.

What about you guys? anyone going to get an AppleTV?

I just gave myself the biggest fright in a long time.

I've been tooling around with a personal wiki for a while now, a space to keep school notes, random reminders, lists of things to get, the list of sockets I need to complete the craftsman toolkit I never use, things like that.

So i decided to set up a subdomain and install a wiki, i was tooling around with it once it was installed for about 20 mintues, then I realised I had somehow installed it OVER my joomla site, rather than on its own subdomain, total user error.

fortunately I had a backup from my latest joomla upgrade, and just snagging the index.php file did the trick, but that was a scary few minutes there while i tried to work out just how monumentally screwed I was.

You'd think i'd learn after my HD crash that backups are not optional.
