I recently pulled my sites off of a shared host and onto a VPS. If you’re like me and the extent of your linux knowledge is “I know how to set up an .htaccess file”, then you just might be in for a few days of banging your head against the wall. I know I [...]

Mac OS X Drivers for the HP Color LaserJet 1600
January 18, 2009 118 comments
When you can’t count on HP, the Linux community is fortunately there for us Mac users. No, there are no “HP Certified” drivers. Yes, there are Mac ones. I pulled the information from a thread here. Thanks goes out to craigverse for the info. Before going any further, Leopard users seem to have a very [...]
November 6, 2009 update: I’ve taken a look at Fusion 3 vs Parallels 5. November 5, 2009 update: Parallels 5 is now out too, which also supports DirectX 9.0c and Shader Model 3 (PS3.0). I’ll have to test it later. October 30, 2009 update: VMWare Fusion 3 has come out, which now supports DirectX 9.0c [...]
WoW (World of Warcraft) installer not running on iDeneb 1.3 – MacOS X 10.5.6
January 17, 2009 No comments
A little hiccup on my OSX86 machine… I’d double-click the regular WoW installer, and the little animation would happen, and then… nothing.After a little searching, it appears I needed what’s known as a “Carbon Library Fix”. I’m guessing it has something to do with Rosetta being a little broken or something with the iDeneb install. [...]
Windows 7 Beta – some thoughts and analysis
January 15, 2009 No comments
So it’s been a few days since Microsoft unleashed the Wn7 beta on the public. Reluctant at first, I decided to take the plunge. I’m not a fan of dual-booting, but from what I had gathered it was fairly stable, so I decided to use it as my main OS. Initial observations (aka what [...]
Joomla – show menus (always show submenus)
January 15, 2009 3 comments
Took a bit of searching (seemed to have to find the right key-words), but I’ve got a site where I’ve utilized the submenu’s quite heavily. However, since there’s not a lot of information in each menu page itself, it looked… well sparse. Getting down 3 levels also meant that people had to click over, and [...]
The Fix – DarkStar One crashing in Windows 7
January 12, 2009 9 comments
Situation: DS1 (Dark Star One) in Windows 7 Beta (x64) was crashing immediately upon trying to start it. This is the Steam version of the game, although the fix may apply in other situations. The Ascaron Exception Dialogue pops up with a “Walhalla Exception” and says there’s been an “Ascaron Exception Error”. If you look [...]
Darkstar One – getting to Odia
January 3, 2009 No comments
Grabbed DSO for $5 through Steam over the holidays. One hiccup I found was that the rest of the Stromok system was discovered, but I couldn’t get to Odia, which is pirate infested, and hence, grants an artifact when you clear it. As it turns out, you have to head to Cabracoy first and complete [...]
