  • Windows 7 + iPhone tethering

    If Apple was so kind to give you tethering (and didn’t silently remove it after an update), or if you just happen to have enabled it using, let’s say, the alternative method. And you happen to be forced to use Windows, and you really are tired of XP, and Vista surely isn’t an option; you’re…

  • Hamachi: Failed to connect to the engine

    After getting the Hamachi 2 update (without a prior notice, nicely done… No more auto update if they continue to break stuff) I started to notice a bunch of XPs receiving this error after a reboot: Failed to connect to the engine. Hamachi is auto started, at boot, because we have a shortcut in the…

  • HP ProtectTools and Windows 7

    If you’re having troubles using HP ProtectTools and Windows 7, you’ll probably using an outdated version of ProtectTools. Eventhough HP tells you this is the latest version for your notebook. A simple fix, is to download the latest version, which is model independent. Be sure to completely uninstall the previous version, reboot, and reinstall the…

  • Gmail spam “mark-as-read”

    Google changed their Mailbox names (from Google Mail, to Gmail) so here is the update from my previous php script I made a few years ago. Edit: Gmail reverted back to the previous version (imap folders were “Google Mail”, changed to “Gmail” yesterday and today). To version v0.03 won’t work anymore. I’m guessing this was…

  • Windows update error 80070005

    This is usually an error due to incorrect rights on certain files on your system. In my case, Windows 2008, as domain controller, I was added to the “Domain Guests” group. Make sure you’re not member of that group, and reboot. This should fix the problem.

  • Prowl: check server status (using ping)

    Yesterday I’ve start using Prowl, as I heard good comments about it. And one of the things I want it to check, are my server statuses. I made a quick script using bash and crontab to check every 10 min if it replies on ping. Per server, I created “host.domain.tld.sh” (e.g. zero.rootspirit.com.sh), and added this…

  • iRail issues

    Today, I received an e-mail informing iRail was broken, and not showing any information. The issue has been solved and the site is working again as it should be. I have no idea for how long the website has been broken, as currently I’m not using any trains to reach my destinations. 😉 Don’t forget…
