How to enable Remote Desktop service over firewalls

1. Make sure you’ve set Windows to Allow Remote Connections from System Properties first.
2. From Microsoft’s KB article it says that the listening port for RDP can be changed from your registry at. Edit the value and set to decimal. Default RDP port is 3889, change it to 443(or 80). HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
3. If IIS is running on your machine, be sure to change default port 443(or 80) to something else so that the traffic doesn’t collide. Run this from the command prompt: %WINDIR%\system32\cscript.exe c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET w3svc/1/SecureBindings “:444:”
4. Last thing to do is just to restart the ‘Terminal Services’, and you should be able to RD to port 443(or 80) on your machine.

Pocket DJ

I just think there’s something geeky nerdy cool about this. Obviously, its nothing like the real decks/software. Because it turns out that it’s only a game and doesn’t say anywhere bout being able to mix your own tracks/playlist. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could ? Like touchscreen device thingy that you could carry in your pocket.

Then, a friend(@pandamerv) told me about this other device, the Pacemaker. Looks really nice but it’s gona cost you $599-$699.

So, what about other touchscreen device(s) ?

• Mixmeister Scratch - the iPhone’s multitouch screen would it such a seamless experience but judging from the short video, seems that it’s only meant for playing a single track. And scratching on that single track ? Gimmicky.
• iPhone-DJ - this looks more useful but as it says..it’s very early in development and no release date has been set. Open source. Seen some sources uploaded.
• PvD DJ - guess who decided to come up with an iPhone app. I think this should turn out to be quite interesting. No pricing or release dates announced yet.
• Touch Mix Deadmau5 Edition - the other DJ who also decided to release an iPhone app that allows you to mix 10 exclusive tracks from him.
• Samsung Beat DJ M7600 - Looks like Samsung is coming out with a touchscreen phone catered to likes of a DJ.

Well until then, I’m just gonna pretend to be a DJ on my trusty NDS. I hope there’s gonna be a crowd tho … virtually … so sad ;)

p/s somebody should so make a simple DJ’ing app for the NDS.It would totally rock.
