Turn your Playstation3 into a media center
ps3 megabox project
PS3Hax member Lichemaster announced more then 1,5 year ago a new PS3 project called Megabox. MegaBox is similar to a media center, similar to the XBMC on the Xbox 1, fully functioning on the PS3.
He also quoted:
" The MegaBox has many cool features that any PS3 owner would find interest in such as VoIP, P2P, TV, Movies (Including MKV), and much more!
The best part is the program will require NO INSTALLATION, and would be OPEN SOURCE (based on FREEVO). In layman's terms, all you need to do is pop in a CD/Flash drive with the program and anyone can enjoy it without too much problems (no need for linux either)."

Sounds like a great replacement for XBMC to me!
More information about the install process and download links can be found here

Playstation3 (ps3) mediaserver in Java!
Playstation3 has often some problems with various media servers. Some can work with MKV files, some can not. Others can work with subtitles, other can not. Well, this playstation3 media server can work with almost any format, supports subtitles and is written in Java which makes this media server platform independant! A MUST have for every ps3 owner!

Note - Like the author describes, mkv files need a wired (gigabit) ethernet connection.
Netbeans GIT plugin
Recently I discovered a netbeans edition for php ( Netbeans - a new player on the market ), which seems to work great!
The only thing I was missing was a GIT versioning plugin to clone, commit and update my php files. After a short googling I found a google code project called "nbgit" which provides this functionality.
You can download the 0.3* version at the following site:

Note - The 0.3 version was the most recent version at the time writing. A new version might already be released.
