Archive for the 'Computing: General' Category

I'm attempting to help a friend with an Apache/PHP issue. In her shared server's local account, she has the PECL HTTP "http.so" shared library. She'd like to load the module for use in a PHP page or two. She has no access to httpd.conf or other configuration files and the .so is located at an [...]

I'm looking for some forum software suggestions. Something between vBulletin (costs money) and bbPress (way too bare-bones). phpBB is a little too heavy, but seems to be the best out there. I installed the 3.0B2 version as a test.
I'm not going to list all the features I'd like, but it seems to me that "75% [...]

Sucky Zune Ads

You know, I have a strong feeling that these Zune ads are going to completely miss their audience. They're horrible.
What does "find your audience" have to do with a device that plays music? Do modern teens really get into pit-bull fighting? How is the music appealing to anyone that isn't into bad emo?

For the most part, I've moved to MediaTemple. This domain (nslog.com) will actually be the last one to move on this site (though the database is currently being hosted on the new server as a trial). barzeski.com moved yesterday.
Currently, I'm waiting for the DNS changes to take place for a few sites, like billiardsdrills.com and [...]

This has come in handy the past few days. If only I could do it with regular expressions… and if only I knew regular expressions!
update [table_name] set [field_name] = replace([field_name], '[string_to_find]', '[string_to_replace]');
Works like a charm… though I'm not entirely sure how to replace line breaks. Some of my MT entries have four line [...]

Zune Doom

I typically shy away from bashing unreleased stuff, particularly from Microsoft, because if I've learned one thing, it's that Microsoft has enough money to overcome any problem. If I've learned two things, the second is that people don't always exhibit great taste. The prevalence of Windows in the 90s is proof enough of that.
So, I've [...]

Crash! Boom! Bang! Safe to say, it didn't put a happy fun flavor in my mouth. Why? Because after getting a trial key at this page - the default "download" page - and downloading the software listed, I kernel panicked twice.
After noticing the build number was "1848," I went back and got the "update RC2" [...]

iTunes 7 and Music Videos

I have a few music videos. Some I bought from iTunes, others I encoded myself from DVDs.
Aside from some Black Eyed Peas music videos (Dum Diddly, Pump It, and My Style) and a Death Cab for Cutie video (Soul Meets Body), which all show up in my "Movies" library, and my TV shows which show [...]

iTunes Showtime

I wish Apple had streams of events like these. People could have even paid $0.99 to tune into the stream via iTunes.

The problem I have with Parallels is that it doesn't seem like I can just format an entire disk and install Windows on it - I have to install it onto a disk image.
Boot Camp, if I understand it correctly, can be used to install Windows on an entire drive. That's ideal - I intend [...]

I hate shoddy reporting as much as the next guy. Apple (and its products) seem to attract a disproportionate share.

Yes, -f overrides -i. But from a pay phone?

Apple (the computer company) today won its lawsuit over Apple (the music company). News is reported here, here, here, and here.
Some comments have it nailed: if Apple Corps would put its catalog in the iTMS, they'd be able to reimburse Apple the $6M in court costs losing the lawsuit has cost them!
