  • Hamachi(X) on Leopard

    When playing with KisMAC, I noticed something weird in my /var/log/system.log; $date com.apple.launchd[1] (tuncfgd$pid) posix_spawnp(“/usr/sbin/tuncfg”, …): No such file or directory $date com.apple.launchd[1] (tuncfgd$pid) Exited with exit code: 1 $date com.apple.launchd[1] (tuncfgd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds tun is (trying) to restart every 10 (!) seconds. I tried updating Hamachi‘s tun/tap drivers, without…

  • Mac OS X.5.2

    Yes, it’s here, finally! A 355 Mb patch, downloaded over poor UMTS/3G at school and in the train… Took a while, but it’s finally installed. Some nice few features, like the fact you can now remove the semi-transparent effect on the menu bar (makes it nicer). They also added some nice stacks enhancements. A Time…

  • EyeTV + ffmpegX = iMovie

    EyeTV is a cool application that let’s you watch TV on your Mac. I happen to have the “lite” version, because it was significantly cheaper than the other version. The cool thing is, you can easily record films or TV episodes with it, but with this version, there is no way to export it to…

  • MagSafe car adapter

    As you probably know, the MagSafe adapter is a great invention. Someone trips over your power cord, and the connector pops off. And if you think “well, cool, but won’t happen, a normal connector won’t break your notebook” you’re very wrong. A few months ago, at school, during courses, someone tripped over my Powerbook’s power…

  • Parallels + Ubuntu

    I finally got a reply from the Parallels support team. After using the alternate Parallels installer it finally works again! Even after rebooting Mac! joy Before trying to run Vista/Bootcamp through Parallels again, I’m waiting till the end of my exams (Thursday). Don’t want to blow up my Windows install again when I’m in desperate…

  • Mac OS X > Windows

    When surfing the web, I came upon an old site we (read: Rootspirit) used to host. Nick, one of the posters, wrote an article I totally agree with. It really reflects why I’m using Mac instead of Windows now. Read about it here (Dutch), or here (Google translated, far from understandable)

  • IP calc

    For those who have to work with IP’s and subnets, I have only one word; Bitcricket IP Calculator. It converts decimal IP’s into binary or hexadecimal IP’s (and, the other way around too); it gives you the IP class; it calculates subnets, with the number of hosts/subnet, and gives you the number of host bits;…

  • Bootcamp

    For a few courses I’m following at school, I need to be able to run Windows. As I’m owning a Macbook Pro (with Leopard) that shouldn’t have to be any problem using Bootcamp. I created a 5 Gb partition and installed WinXP a few weeks ago. So far all fine. As I don’t really like…
