CHDK – Firmware hack for Canon point-and-shoot cameras

• TJ reviewed the installation procedure and discussed some of the extra functionality to be gained.
• Installs to a CF card (must be under 4 GB).
• Booting to it does not replace anything on your camera, so camera’s firmware remains un-touched (read: you won’t void your warranty).
• CHDK Wiki

Linux-y stuff

• It does help to connect an antenna to your internal wireless card.
• What happens when you send /dev/null to /dev/null? How do you get it back?

Social Media

• Origins: USENET and IRC. MUDs, MUSHes and MOOs.
• Photo sharing sites such as SmugMug, Picasa, Flickr, Shutterbug, PhotoBucket, etc.
• OpenID use with sites.
• Facebook, MySpace, etc.
