  • 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). Hoping this bug would be fixed ASAP I tried to ignore it as long as possible… However, it so far hasn’t been fixed. As I was…

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    If you’re having troubles using HP ProtectTools and Windows 7, you’ll probably using an outdated version of ProtectTools.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

  • 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.

  • 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…

  • Vodafone Mobile Connect – Incorrect Pin code

    As I usually use my SIM card in my iPhone, I booted my PC, plugged in the Vodafone USB Mobile Connect modem (HAUWEI 220 or something). I then inserted, with the USB device plugged in, my SIM card, and booted up the Mac (and later on Windows) Vodafone application, to connect my PC to the…

  • Damn You Google !

    I need it now! 🙁

  • 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()…

  • Bad virus scanner! Bad!

    Some antivirus software vendors (McAfee, Symantec, and some others) have started recently identifying Angry IP Scanner as ‘potentially unwanted program’ or risky ‘hacktool’. Now, their programs often delete Angry IP Scanner from the disk during virus scanning. The reason behind this is the will to bloat ‘virus databases’ and show unreal high number of detected…
