When I tried to set up my YouTube account on my new Apple TV and wanted to open my favorites, everything I got was:

No content was found. There is a problem communicating with YouTube. Try again later.

Bummer! It didn’t seem to be a connection or software issue as everything else (including watching YouTube videos) worked. So here is how to fix that.

1. Go to youtube.com, click your user name and then ‘Account’. Then select ‘Activity Sharing’. (or be lazy and go directly to that page)
2. Check both the ‘Subscribe to a channel’ box and the ‘Favorite a video’ box.
3. Save your changes.
4. Sorry, that’s it.

Yes, I am alive. I’ve been a bit busy recently so there haven’t been any updates since November 2009 but I hope to get a new version finished within the next two weeks.

Finally managed to upgrade my WordPress installation from 2.8 to 2.9.2, at least.

Yes, I am alive. It’s more than a week now that  Snow Leopard came out and there is still no new version that works with the new Mac OS X. The reason is simple. Instead of using the time to fix the old Seafoid I’ve started to completely rewrite the app from scratch to make it more extendible for future development. It will also come up with some cool new features. Just to name a few:

• Calculating circuits with the legendary NE555 (currently as an astable and monostable multivibrator)
• Revamped heat sink calculation. Additionally to the old way (calculating the resulting chip temperature for a heat sink), Seafoid has a new option called “Calculate Appropriate Heat Sink” where you specify the maximum chip temperature and the app will tell you what thermal resistance the heat sink must have.
• Seafoid 3.0 combines the clean look of Seafoid 1.x and the function of Seafoid 2.0, plus lots of improvements and new features.
• Seafoid is now localizable! The beta release will come with English, German and Greek translations.
• Lots of minor improvements like better input information and exception handling.

A beta version will be available soon is available. Stay tuned!
