DWM on Wikipedia Marked For Deletion

Posted February 25, 2010 – 12:20 in: Nullamatix, syndicated

Anselm, the “inventor of dwm” shared this information with the suckless mailing list yesterday. Apparently, Wikipedia has flagged the dwm (dynamic window manager from suckless.org) article for deletion. Anselm says he’s neutral and shared his thoughts on the Wikipedia Page, but what does this say about Wikipedia? A community built on free and open source [...]

Goings On

Posted February 19, 2010 – 10:20 in: IPTV Archive, syndicated

Well, the archive is at something of a standstill again. I definitely have more to put up, but it does indeed take a while to sort through everything, find episode descriptions, etc.
On the left side of the page, there is a new section called “WANTED” which houses a list of missing shows/episodes, meaning I [...]

Video Packratism

Posted February 13, 2010 – 08:20 in: Famicoman, syndicated

Some people know me as the IPTV guy. That is to say that I have a lot of independent media that has been distributed over the internet, which makes me something of a video packrat. I used to simply collect it. I kept RSS feeds, and downloaded episodes when they came out. I attended IRC [...]

Opening An Elevated Command Prompt Window

Posted January 19, 2010 – 00:00 in: Silivrenion, syndicated

There are many parts of Windows that are useful for the power user, but none so useful and important as opening an elevated privilege command prompt window!
Windows, by default, does not run programs as administrator in Vista and 7. This is for the user’s protection, and is controlled by User Account Control. You can, fortunately, [...]

Use Trillian Astra to Simplify Messaging

Posted January 17, 2010 – 23:40 in: Silivrenion, syndicated

Oh, Trillian. I remember when you were just a wee toddler, now you’re all big and grown up now! Trillian has always been one of the popular choices for instant messaging clients, however with the advent of Trillian Astra in late 2009, Cerulean Studios has nearly reinvented the game once more and provided a better [...]

New Tool: IP Range to CIDR

Posted January 17, 2010 – 23:40 in: Nullamatix, syndicated

At least twice a week I find myself visiting ip2cidr.com, the IP to CIDR converter. Since the owner/author of the site hasn’t release the source code, and I love a challenge, I developed my own version. The guys at the job find the tool useful, and after a few minor bug fixes, I’ve made [...]

Solution: chown: invalid user: www-data:www-data

Posted January 10, 2010 – 21:20 in: Nullamatix, syndicated

Ran into this issue after getting rid of the www-data user and group. The solution is simple and doesn’t involve adding the account/group, assuming the objective is to run Lighttpd as a different user (not www-data). If the intention is to run Lighttpd with the www-data account, simply add the account. Otherwise, keep reading… [...]

CES 2010: Pass or Fail?

Posted January 10, 2010 – 21:20 in: dhp1080, syndicated

While I didn’t get a chance to go to the show the year, I did cover a lot of stories over at ConnectReviews. There were plenty of cool things to see, as there are every year, but to be honest, I’m a bit disappointed. First things first. Let’s start with the buzzwords for this year [...]
