  • 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    If you’re having troubles using HP ProtectTools and Windows 7, you’ll probably using an outdated version of ProtectTools.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.

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…

  • Display iPhone battery status in percent

    With the new firmware, you can now display your battery status in percent (%). For my iPhone 3G this came, out of the box, right after the update to 3.0. I could clearly see the 100% next to my battery icon. But yes, I did have my iPhone jailbroken before I upgraded. Now, appearantly, this…
