  • Random reboots of Galaxy Nexus

    Since I moved to Antwerp, in a high building apparently made out of the thickest steel they could find (> My wifi signal barely passes the internal walls, and I’m pretty much unable to make a decent cell phone call) my Galaxy Nexus has been behaving oddly. It started during the night of the press…

  • Defcon 18: Pwned By the owner

  • Android 4.1 IMAP + stock mail bug

    On 4.1 (yes, I’m lagging behind with my blog posts) something rather funky happened. And it took my 7 days to notice. My phone was running hotter and battery life was suddenly crappier than usual. But not really paying attention, until my cell provider (Proximus) texted me I was over my data consumption limit… As…

  • Mac OS X Mountain Lion: unable to add printers

    Okay. This one took a long time to solve. At some random point after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion was unable to add new printers. As I don’t really add new printers on a daily base, I have no idea when it actually happened or what might have caused it. If I deleted…

  • Mac os (Mountain) Lion + external display + sleep when closing the lid

    I recently dared to upgrade from Snow Leopard (10.6) to Mountain Lion (10.8), skipping Lion (10.7) altogether. One of the mayor disturbances I had, was when I was using my Macbook Pro at my home office. I use an external display (some Samsung SyncMaster) as well as my MBP’s main display. I put my MBP…

  • Gentoo & Samba hanging boot and refusing to start

    I recently took a server from for maintenance (PSU burned down) and quickly noticed it hung at boot (hangs at Samba starting). I went into interactive boot mode and skipped Samba. Thinking it was a networking issue (server has static IP & routing set up) which didn’t match my home network. Set up dhcp, changed…
