Ramen is a well known chinese food that first made its way to Japan and Japanese cuisine, and has now migrated to the United States. Despite this foods nutrient facts (high in sodium), colleagues often eat it because it is cheap and easy to make. The ramen recipe mainly consists of dehydrated noodles and a seasoning packet. There are a variety of seasonings such as chicken, beef, oriental and shrimp (many more not listed). Ramen can be consumed raw, cooked, or as a part of a meal, such as “Ramen with Fresh Vegetables“.

Today, there are two main brands of ramen: Top Ramen (by Nissin) and Maruchan Ramen. Both brands cost around 10 cents per package. As far as we are concerned, the differences between the two are insignificant. Both brands are cooked the same way, and thats all we care about.

Steps on making Ramen:

1. Get out a pot (aka sauce pan) and fill it with two (2) cups of water.
2. Turn on the heat to your burner and wait till the water is boiling.
3. Add the noodles and cook them for three (3) minutes. Stirring occasionally.
4. Turn off the heat, remove the pot from the burner, and add in the contents of the seasoning package. Stir.
5. Serve immediately for best result.

This takes a total of 6 minutes to make (5 if your fast), so go now and make some ramen!

Assumed that this is only the beginning, Google may be driving by your house soon to get some more pictures of sub-urban areas.

If you are unsure about how to use this service, heres a quick informal:

1. Take a trip to www.maps.google.com
2. Switch the view of the map to “Satellite” or “Hybrid”; you choose. (Shown in top-right of map)
3. Enter your desired location in the search bar and press Search. (Ex. Financial District, New York, NY)
4. Click the “Street View” button. (Shown in top-right of map)
5. Drag the little yellow guy onto one of the blue outlined streets and a Street View will appear.

• Navigate the street view by re-dragging and dropping the yellow guy onto a different blue outlined street or click the North, South, East, West buttons in the street view.

Happy Street Viewing!

We had a user ask us how to get joost on the apple tv but unfortunatly, we don’t have a joost account and when i used it before i had barrowed a friends. However I found this guide on the AwkwardTV Wiki, which is a great place to check for a apple tv guide. If you don’t find what you want on their site tell us and we will write one up!

Prerequisites

• Mac OS X 10.4
• Joost Account and Joost running and setup on an Intel mac
• Applications Menu Plugin V1.1 for Apple TV (optional)

Setting Up

• Run FireFox on AppleTV browse to YouTube.com, and try to watch a video. You will be prompted to download the flash player, do so watch a video to ensure that the Flash player runs properly.

• Copy the contents from /Library/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts to corresponding locations in ATV. Joost uses some fonts not present on AppleTV. Probably not all Fonts are required - {Todo: isolate the fonts required by Joost}
• Copy Joost.app from your mac’s /Application folder to /Users/frontrow/Applications directory, you may have to create the Applications directory. Joost does not like being run from an readonly file system so it needs to be in an writable area.

• Copy com.joost.client.mac.plist & com.joost.launcher.mac.plist files from ~/Library//Preferences directory on your intel mac to /Users/frontrow/Library/Preferences/ on ATV.

• Copy settings.sol from ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/ to /Users/frontrow/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/

• Copy #www.joost.com folder from ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/ to /Users/frontrow/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/

• Look for www.joost.com folder in ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/XXXXXXX/ folder, XXXXXX will be unique to your machine and is a alphanumeric with numbers and captial letters. Find a similar folder in AppleTV in /Users/frontrow/Library/Prefrences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/XXXX. ***Please Note that the XXXXXXX values will be different between your mac and AppleTV. Also note that the # character in the filename will need to be escpaed as \# if you use command line to copy.

Running Joost

You can either run Joost using the command line after killing the Finder. See the Replace_Finder and Watchdog sections in the How-to section or you can use the V1.1 version of the Application Launcher Plugin. {*** Note: v1.1 is not released yet - setup instructions will be released when it is released]. The command line to run Joost is: /Users/frontrow/Applications/Joost.app/Contents/Resources/Joost.app/Contents/MacOS/xulrunner

Stopping Joost

Unfortunately Joost does not support an exit function on the Apple Remote, so you need to kill Joost using ssh or if you are using the Application Launcher, then you should try to crash Joost. Crashing Joost is fairly easy, you can do this by trying to launch videos and when one video is being loaded try to load other videos and send it lots of button presses of all sorts from the remote. This is very ugly but atleast I don’t have to be near a computer to stop Joost. Once Joost has exited and if you used the Applications Plugin, Finder should re-start in a few seconds.

For whatever reason Microsoft does not package any ssh/scp clients with any version of windows. In fact in Vista they did not put telnet defaultly into the OS!

1. Download Putty and Pscp from here
2. Rename Putty to ssh and pscp to scp
3. Copy these two files to your windows folder normaly c:\windows. If you have problems finding it put it in %windir%.
4. Now go into your command prompt and you can type ssh computerhere and it will launch a ssh session! Or scp user@computer:path savelocation.
