Philips Network Hard Disk
I’ve got myself a cheap 500GB network hard disk. Been testing it, and seems to be working fine! It’s rather fast (it has a SATA2 disk in it) and it was really easy to set up. But I’m missing a few things; Impossible to format/check the disk for errors from the web interface Impossible to…

Blog Updates
As you might have noticed, I added some new features. I’ve been playing around with some plugins. There’s now a Twitter widget, a simple calendar widget (with links on dates where I posted something), and ‘recent comments’ (not that there are any comments, but I’ve added it). I had to do some small modifications in…

Ventrilo 2.1, Vista, and Surround 5.1
Helene’s new Vista pc seemed to be working fine, except for Ventrilo 2.1 (the free and, well, illegal version). It managed to connect, but no sound was coming out of it.

Namely + hiding its icon
I recently started to use Namely but having its icon in my dock was quite annoying (like to keep my dock clean). Namely is an app that let’s you launch any application by typing in a few letters of that program’s name. Just type in a key combination ([Apple]+E here), and Namely’s window pop ups.…

Rsync backups
My own simple rsync backup ‘script’. You’ll need a rsync server, something to backup, and ssh-agent running to ease the process (or, fill in your password each time). Add the following lines (using a terminal text editor) to a text file (“.rsync” for example, hidden files under Unix-like systems), and chmod +x $file. rsync –archive…
