My PC at work died the other day and while scrounging together hardware to keep me running until we order new i5 based PCs for the techs I had the joy of fighting the elusive heisenbug of the Vostro 200. Long story short: if you have issues with a PCI-E card like video cutting out [...]

I seem to run into this more often than I would like. The Dell MD3000i (a rebadged IBM which is also available as a generic LSI product) is a horrible SAN. The worst part is that you can have terrible performance with no way to know why unless you run these cli commands to figure [...]

Today was a hellish day. Late in the afternoon when we’re supposed to be winding down and heading out one of our shared webhosting servers started freaking out. No changes to any software or settings — nothing to suspect — but mysql-proxy kept crashing. We need this utility because we have a lot of old [...]

I’m a hockey fan. It’s probably the only sport I enjoy watching. I also happen to be one of those new age hippies that doesn’t pay for cable or satellite… streaming content is the only thing I care about. I am not interested in paying for channels that do not interest me, so I don’t [...]

I just set this up today and it was a pain in the arse, so I figured I’d leave a trace of it somewhere on the internets. I hope this helps you.
So NameCheap finally announced IPv6 glue support and I was quite happy to hear this. I’ve been digging into IPv6 a lot because I’ve become part of an IPv6 project at work (deployment, training, and consulting for customers) so this announcement was perfectly timed. Well, I followed Mr. AlexS’s instructions to no avail. It’s almost [...]
KDE 4.4.3 has been out for a bit and finally came to Debian Squeeze recently. You may have been running it sooner on Sid. The first thing I noticed was that when I logged in all I got was a black screen. No wallpaper, no clicking the desktop, and I couldn’t see any task bars, [...]

So the word is that the gamers in Australia are effectively being “Lef t 4 Dead” when it comes to the new zombie shoot-em-up of the same name, Left 4 Dead 2. My only question is, does this prevent them from obtaining it via Steam? Is it only banned in stores / box versions? The [...]

YouTube – RELEASE Half-Life2: All sounds replaced with my voice. You are stupid if you don’t like this. I’m not kidding. STUPID!!!
So someone was clever enough to create a CMS for gamers. Finally you can stop using PHPNuke and all its other shitty variants. Stop struggling with that clan site you’re trying to build — it’s going to suck anyway. They all do. And you know within 3 weeks it will be defaced by some Hungarian [...]
Bristol Stool Scale – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. So as it turns out there’s actually a scientific scale for your shit. BTW, I just took a mean Type 4.
Hello, kids. Old Man Feld here. I’m bringing you today something we’ve been working on for a while now – Our official Greasemonkey script! (yayyy) Anyway, here’s the deal. We’ve got some code on the site and we’ve identified you as being a valued consumer of our content. We like you so much that we’re [...]

So I live in the upper midwest, and there isn’t much for a variety of fast food restaurants up here. We have a few local chains that let us mix it up, but there isn’t anything like what you hear from friends on the coasts or down south. Times are changing, and we need some [...]
Computer games have been an important part of my life since as long as I can remember. I’m still young, but I caught the tail end of Kali and saw Mplayer rise and fall, and Gamespy never quite thrilled me like All Seeing Eye. Things have changed a lot over the last decade, but one [...]
