SimCity Ridiculous – SimCity 5 Fail and Fail and Fail
The new SimCity game was release a couple days ago. Nice. I guess. Like the rest of us, I can hardly get on the game due to overload and bugs. The game requires me to be online and play on their servers, and even worse, the one thing that really bothers me, my game saves are on one single server only, and only there, online, on that server. Not … [Read more...]
Zend Framework 2 Global Database Adapter Object and Config Variables
I wrote this up on Stackoverflow.com too as an answer to my own question. (links below) So basically , I want some config variables available app-wide in my Zend Framework 2 apps. I also want a database adapter object available and connection. Controllers don't have preDispatch by default now. I used to use Zend_Registry in ZF1 to store and … [Read more...]
Exclude ZFS filesystems from zfs-auto-snapshot on Ubuntu and remove them
Just ran into this quick blurb... zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=false butank/DATA/backups So I have backups running to a secondary storage ZFS pool in my server and today I realized my disk space was consumed by ZFS snapshots. I thought, there's no way even my backups are using that much data, even with rotations and archives. Checking "zfs … [Read more...]
Finally got my iPad Mini and I love it
My awesome wife brought home an iPad Mini for me last night. :) My super quick review…. pretty much like most other reviews... Kicks butt!! The nerds out there who complain about the non-retina screen, I partially agree with. Regular people won't care. The nerds complain about the older processor (iPad2 cpu, etc), I agree its not quite … [Read more...]
Create ISO image from CD or DVD disk in Linux
Just ran into this solution which works pretty good. I first found that I could create an ISO image from my CD disc by using cat, like so: cat /dev/sr0 > /path/to/new.iso However, using the "right tool for the job" we can use the "readom" command line tool. According to the man page, Readom is used to read or write Compact Discs. In my … [Read more...]
Thoughts on the GoDaddy DNS DDOS Attack, Outage, and DNS hosting options
So with the big outage today, I did some quick looking around. Just wondered if there were any DNS registrars that have decent security practices. It’s tough to find. Not that the attack on GoDaddy was a security breach, it wasn’t. It was a Denial of Service attack, not a hack. But I didn’t know that when I started looking. I still wondered … [Read more...]
UnixODBC on Ubuntu 12.04 broken and unable to connect error

Apple Pages with iCloud has folders in Mountain Lion
Just had to do a super quick note about this awesomeness! iCloud for Pages in Mountain Lion has folders! I thought to myself, "How do I organize these iCloud documents?" Over time, I'll collect or create lots and lots of documents, there better be some folders or organization of some sort. Well, there is! You just drag files over the top … [Read more...]
Carbon Copy Cloner backup saves productivity and downtime during OSX Mountain Lion upgrade
Carbon Copy Cloner backup saves productivity and downtime during OSX Mountain Lion upgrade because of a damaged disk error. I could’t wait, I had to install OSX Mountain Lion on my main, production MacBook Pro. Yeah, shouldn’t have done that. Well, I had a Mac Mini that I already upgraded and in an emergency I could get back to work if I … [Read more...]
UITableView commitEditngStyle not working with edit button and subview delegate
I was having a tough time getting my UITableView to get into "Edit Mode" or editing style, as Apple calls it, when I touch the Edit button on my navigation bar. I solved it, but here's a little back story first. I had my view setup in Storyboard, only it was a UITableViewController object, which doesn't give me much control over extra elements … [Read more...]
Bitcasa cache is huge and I removed it from my backup software
I am testing out the Beta of Bitcasa right now. Its pretty cool! I haven't done too much with it yet, so I don't want to comment on any of its pros or cons just yet. One thing, however, did catch my attention. I use Crashplan as my main backup software. This morning I noticed that it had about 14GB more to backup! On my internet … [Read more...]
Windows 7 Pro does not run domain logon scripts and map drives
I setup a new computer for a client, and Windows 7 would not map the drives in the logon script for the domain account. Ran into this issue, again. Our domain uses a VBScript as our login script, and it appears to run. It runs correctly if started manually, just not at user login. It fails to reconnect the mapped network drives and they are not … [Read more...]
Netatalk Time Machine backups to Ubuntu Linux 10.04 Lucid AFP Network Share Configuration Guide
Well... not much of a guide really. Just a very quick how-to on what I did to get Time Machine on my Macbook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7 to save the backup data to my Linux server network share using AFP, rather than SMB (Windows Share), a Time Capsule, or and Apple Server. I will attach my working config files for your reference as well. Note … [Read more...]
