  • Mac OS X + SSD tweaks

    Came across a pretty cool howto to tweak your SSD on a Mac. Only thing I noticed is setting the hibernate mode to 0 made my mac randomly wake up a few seconds after it went to sleep (and happened most often when closing the lid, less often when clicking the sleep button; randomly closing…

  • QQ

    If only it were cheaper 🙁 And I didn’t even pick the SSD 🙁 Update: With my education discount… Not much better 🙁

  • iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3

    And the smart playlist syncing issue. Syncing smart playlists, with “live updating” checked, bugged the playlists on the iPhone (there were songs in the playlist that didn’t belong there).

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…

  • OpenVPN Linux + Mac howto

    A short howto, as I was unable to find any clear ones on the net. I’m using Mac OS X (Leopard) as client, and a Gentoo server as server/host. I both tried Viscosity and Tunnelblick on my Mac as OpenVPN software, and Viscosity is probably somewhat easier to configure (using the GUI), it was shareware.…

  • Java + Angry IP Scanner error

    Angry IP scanner was quitting each time I started the application, and looking at Console I saw these errors: 06/11/08 11:34:15 [0x0-0x1f01f].net.azib.ipscan[190] [JavaAppLauncher Error] CFBundleCopyResourceURL() failed loading MRJApp.properties file 06/11/08 11:34:15 [0x0-0x1f01f].net.azib.ipscan[190] [JavaAppLauncher Error] CFBundleCopyResourceURL() failed while getting Resource/Java directory 06/11/08 11:34:15 [0x0-0x1f01f].net.azib.ipscan[190] [LaunchRunner Error] No main class specified 06/11/08 11:34:15 [0x0-0x1f01f].net.azib.ipscan[190] [JavaAppLauncher Error] CallStaticVoidMethod()…
