Yep, you read the title right, and no this blog isn’t becoming an advertising site, just so happens this post and the last are right after one another. Codeweavers has created a challenge and that challenge has been met. Gas in the Twin Cities as returned to where it was a year ago, at $2.79 [...]
Lately I’ve been getting a ton of spam on my MSN Instant Messenger account. It is quit annoying. I could of just modified my privacy settings in my client (on pidgin Tools .. Privacy, select MSN and block only users on buddy list). But I do a lot of work with open source and communities, [...]
We take a lot of things for granted, and we don’t really think about how much we actually have. I take computers for granted a lot, and don’t think about how I use them in my everyday life, or how convenient they have made things. Actually I do think about how convenient they make things, [...]
So apparently Linus Torvald now has a blog, as seen on Reddit Hell as frozen over. But I am glad, I enjoy reading into some of the innovative minds of our age. One of his articles is raving over Intel’s new SSD. So much so, he has me excited waiting for it to come out. [...]
Just got down spending about 3 hours trying to get a simple gallery page to render the same across multiple browsers. It is crazy trying to get all browsers to work. I think we are dropping IE6 and FF2 from strict compatibility tests. As long as the data is rendered, we are calling that good. [...]
In a previous post about Redmine I mentioned that I was having problems with LDAP and 2003 Active Directory authentication.

Should be enough said, but apperently it isn’t. Yes, I had a dumb user moment, and had a space at the end of one of my inputs. Which the application saved, and passed on to another “plugin” and failed to make the connection, silently btw. The space should of been cleansed out in multiple places, [...]
Browsing the web today, I found two nice tools for managing AD in Linux. First up is adtool. The home page is at http://gp2x.org/adtool/. 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 [...]
I had a strange issue last night. After updating a few X11 packages from git, I rebooted and everything seemed to work fine. I then shutdown and went over to a buddies, booted up only to see X was locking up my session. I would get a blank screen, and then the system would become [...]
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 [...]
