  • How To: Watch Hulu In Canada (Maybe?)

    June 16, 2010
    in Tips & How To’s

    New method is 100% functional.

    I’ve been seeing some reports that the method I posted for watching Comedy Central (The Daily Show, Colbert Nation, South Park Studios) from Canada is now also working for Hulu!!

    I was not able to confirm this in my testing. I was only able to play one short clip of a show I’d never heard of; but, I did notice that the first level ip-wall no longer shows up, I was able to browse the entire site, launch the video player and watch full pre-roll commercials before the stream stopped playing.

    To save you some clicking, here’s a re-post of the work-around:

    For Canadian viewers, if you are using firefox, install the following addon:
    http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/967
    then:

    1) In Firefox, Go to tools->modify headers
    2) From the drop down box on the left select add
    3) Then enter: “X-Forwarded-For” in the first input box without the quotation marks
    4) Enter: “12.13.14.15” in the second input box without the quotation marks
    5) Leave the last input box empty, and save the filter, and enable it

    6) Click the ‘Configuration’ tab on the right then proceed to check the ‘always on’ button.

    Close the Modify Headers box and it should work.

    Leave a comment, let me know if this works for you.


  • Quit Facebook Day

    Today is Quit Facebook Day. While I agree with the privacy concerns to some degree and it seems like Mark Zuckerberg might not be a trustworthy person; unfortunately, I don’t feel like there is a good alternative to Facebook, for that reason I think it would be difficult for me to live online without Facebook.

    I wanted to deactivate my account for the day in solidarity. When I attempted to do so, I was presented with this error.

    ZUCKED! Note that the error does not tell me which application I need to delete or re-assign, it could be multiple applications for all I know. After deleting the 1 offending application, I was still unable to deactivate the account. So much for that.

    Quit Facebook Day Links:

    • Direct link to Facebook’s “deactivate” page.
    • Direct link to DELETE your Facebook account. Note: you must wait 14 days before Facebook will delete your account, if you log in at anytime within those 14 days your account will not be deleted.
