I’ve haven’t used a manufacturer’s firmware on my router in YEARS. Seriously since like 2003 or 2004. I started of using OpenWRT, which was the first one out there of this kind. It allowed you to run Linux on your Linksys router. This was freaking awesome. I used, loved it, and might of fried one or two [...]
I’ve never given character sets and encoding much time. I half way understand how it works, which for me is unusual. I normally have to understand things at a level that lets me talk to the subject fairly well. And sadly, this one I don’t. I don’t have the time or energy to really dive [...]
I’ve been using linux since around 2000, and I’ve been using it has my only operating system since 2003. Since that time my knowledge of programming, systems and open source community has grown immensely. I’ve always tried to help others on the Gentoo forums when I have a chance, and provide feedback where I can [...]
There are a lot of blogs and articles out there about SVN and NFS. You can search google and easily find a lot of information about them. But I never found anybody that felt like they found a definitive answer. In my case I kept getting an error about not being able to find and [...]
I’m not lying, I promise. Adobe has announced an x86_64 version of their adobe flash player. I unistalled that latest 10.0 32bit version along with nspluginwrapper, and downloaded the v10 alpha. The install was a simple copying it into ~/.mozilla/pugins, and it works. Two initial findings I have, are dropdown menus are now popping up [...]

This is a tool that lets you manage the objects in active directory without having to know too much knowledge of LDAP. You will have to know a bit about the [...]
Finally I got my synaptics drivers to work properly. With the new HAL, you are able to have it hotplug your input devices into X, this means they don’t need to be listed in X. I tested this out on my laptop a few months ago, and it worked. Only problem is I couldn’t pass [...]
I’ve been using WICD for the past week, and I think I like it better then Network Manager. It focuses on connecting your network interfaces to networks and does it right. IT doesn’t have the ability for VPN’s or anything else, it is merely I frontend to wpa-supplicant and iwconfig. I have had zero issues [...]
I finally left the fglrx closed sourced drivers and loaded up the ati drivers from the git repo. These code in git includes the ability for 3d acceleration for the r500 chips. I have an x1300 in my laptop, which I believe is a r515. So naturally I my curiosity won and I had to [...]
So, it’s only a proof on concept I did in about 15 minutes before going to be, but I thought I would go ahead and show it off. Please critic. Or you can Download the XCF and play with it yourself. The 92.1 Image came from Neo on Flickr and the Tux logo com from [...]
