I’ve restarted my Japanese blog. I used to have a good number of visitors when I was involved in all that Momonga and Gentoo JP stuff. Ah, good old college days. I’ve never seen blog software that handles multilingual blogging perfectly. I’ve seen hacks for various existing solutions, but they all don’t really get at […]
It seems they haven’t quite worked out all the kinks out of Flash Player 9. My work machine started having an issue where sites couldn’t detect that the player was installed. Instead they would offer a link to Adobe to install the player. Clicking on the link would show a page that indicated that the […]

I’ve written about how you can use Consolas (A new font in office 2007 / Windows Vista) on Windows XP, and how to set it up as the font for powershell. I even set it as my fixed width font in Internet Explorer 7. All seemed well, until I RDP’ed in. It turns out these […]

It’s commentary like this that irritates me to no end. All these people going around acting like it’s a big flipping mystery why people don’t buy stuff of the iTunes Music Store. If you just thought about it for a second, it’s obvious. DRM. Price. Experience. Any way you spin it, the DRM sucks. It […]
I know I’ve written about the beta Windows Live Writer program before, but this thing is truly awesome. Once in a while, a program comes along that seems like it just works like “magic” and this is definitely one of them. I’m sure there are various blogging XMLRPC API’s that it uses, but it amazes […]
I’ve decided to move from WordPress to Movable type. Since movable type allows me to manage several blogs at once, I’ve decided to create new URLs for my new blogs. So this will be the last post in this location. Eventually I’ll figure out how to migrate all these posts over to the new blogs. […]
I recently installed Edgy in a VMware Server 1.01 VM at work, and discovered that because it comes with Xorg 7.1.1, the vmmouse driver that gets included with the tools package doesn’t get installed as part of the tools install. But it turns out the Xorg 7.0.0 version that we do package works fine with […]
At work, I use the Services for Unix NFS server to share source hosted on my Windows XP box over to my Ubuntu box. In general the SFU NFS server performs well (way better than sharing over SMB) and doesn’t cause any problems, except one. When an nfs client accesses a file hosted on the […]
