You know, I kinda dig the fact I can upload my DSi photos to Facebook but, something seems missing to me. At some point, I would like to see maybe a Twitter DSi Ware that can also upload DSi photos to TwitPic. That would be nice to have I think. Another thing is that you have all the classic games in the Virtual Console. I say make one that will let us download Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games on the DSi.

Hey Nintendo...
magiccammac.cc:276
If you never encountered this strange error in your Mac's Terminal app, then you're lucky. I, sadly, had made friends with this error gibberish sometime last month. I admit that I only use Terminal to make it talk and say swear words (example here). Yesterday, I figured that if there's no way to find the answer, Google would find one. Boy, did it ever. One of the more reliable links on the Google search was to a post on the Apple forums. Skimming for anything that looked like a solution, someone posted a link saying "more help here". Clicking on it, it went to a site that explains what's causing it. And just what was causing the error? Two Google Talk plugins in the QuickTime folder.
(via: http://timesinker.blogspot.com/2009/05/weird-magiccam-error-message-from.html)
It is coming from the Google Talk's virtual video devices (but it's probably not actually causing any trouble directly - see below) - which are installed here:
/Library/QuickTime/Google Camera Adapter 0.component
And the MacCam related functions are in these two files:
/Library/QuickTime/Google Camera Adapter 0.component/Contents/MacOS/Google Camera Adapter 0
Run strings on it (strings "/Library/QuickTime/Google Camera Adapter 0.component/Contents/MacOS/Google Camera Adapter 0" | grep -i magiccam) and you get:
/Volumes/BuildData/PulseData/data/recipes/320452156/base/branches/googletalkplugin_release_branch/googleclient/talk/magicflute/magiccam/magiccammac.cc
Anyway it's not actually harmful and generally if you've a problem this is unlikely to be the cause of it. You can just [re]move the files as necessary to get rid the messages though your problem may well be somewhere else but at least you can eliminate it as a possible cause.

My Thought On: Gang Activity In Chicago((Outsanity, thought, Chicago, gang, activity, rant))
Giving Chicago so many millions for after school programs will NOT get rid of the gang activity that's been going on. Quit masking the problem. How about doing some cleaning up in Chicago? Like the removal of all gang activity? Or, maybe a gun check on some of these shops? All this shit happening makes me just about embarrassed to even live in Chicago. Plus, with it happening in my own area, I barely go out anymore in fear of a bullet hitting me or anyone else who don't deserve such a stupid action.
