Viewing US and UK Only Streaming Videos

Hi,

Have you ever tried to watch a video on the internet and waited for the video to load just to get a message saying "Sorry this video is not available in your region"? I am in Canada, but I watch American programming, but if I miss an episode there are no sites that legally put these shows up for streaming for Canadian residence.

For example, FOX (http://www.fox.com) puts the latest episode(s) of their top shows up on their site for streaming. The only restriction is that these videos are only viewable to US residence. So somehow we have to trick the site into thinking we are trying to watch from within the US. How do we do that? The answer lies in changing our Proxy Server.

How To View Regional Specific Content From Outside That Region

=========================================================

To change your proxy server for IE, just follow the following steps:

Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Go to "Connections" Tab 

-> Press the "LAN Settings" found at the bottom 

-> In the "Proxy Server" Area, Check "Use Proxy Server for your LAN" the place where you input your proxy IP and port will be enabled 

-> Input your chosen proxy IP and port 

-> Check "Bypass proxy server for local addresses 

-> Press "OK"

You can get different free proxy servers from the following websites:

Canadian Proxies (http://www.xroxy.com/proxylist.php?port=&type=All_http&ssl=&country=CA&latency=&reliability=#table)

My First Blog

Hi All,

This is my first blog. I was thinking about creating a php script that I can host on my own server that will have a form that I can fill out and it will create an HTML page for it. My plan was to create a collection of 'How To...' guides that I, or someone else, can use later on. Then I realized that I can actually just sign up for a blog and do this here. So now here I am with a blog.

My goal for this site is to summarize things that I learned and put them all in an easy to read format for me to review and relearn later on in case I ever forget. For example, I have learned about ten or maybe more programming languages in my life so far and if I was asked to write a program in one of those languages, I would need to have a refresher course in it first. Right now I am fluent in Perl and TCL scripting, but that's only because I've been writing a lot of scripts in those languages for the past few months.

Here is a list of the programming/scripting languages that I've learned and when I was fluent in them:

HTML - Middle school, made my own webpages for fun

Turing - Grade 9 Tech Class, first programming language I learned

BASIC - Grade 12 Tech Class

Visual BASIC - Grade 12 Tech Class

JAVA - First year university, took a course about this

C++ - Second year university, wrote a HTML web sever

C - Second year university, programs to control LEGO pieces

Assembly - Second year university, controlled a micro processor

Verilog - Second year university, not a programming language

Kernal Programming Language (KPL) - Third year university, wrote an operating systems for a course

TCL - Internship, various scripts for synthesis

Perl - Internship, various scripts to reduce manual work

Python - Internship, just tried it out, never made any scripts to be used often

PHP - Internship, a webpage cataloging my results

I think I know some more languages, but I can't even remember them right now. MATLAB comes to mind, but is that really a language? I completely forgot how to use MATLAB and I will probably be relying heavily on that to solve some difficult math problems in my fourth year. 

I find programming and writing scripts simple. Although that's not the field I'm going into. The field that I'm choosing to go into is a lot more difficult to me. Maybe I should just stick to what I'm good at. I guess I will have to reconsider what I'm deciding to do.

Well now that I have a blog, hopefully I will keep up with it and continue to post.
