Friday, July 4th, 2008Well, I’ve been a Mac user for over 4 years now, and I can definitely state that I’m not going to go back to windows (any version), so far !
But there is one thing that I miss : windows games. I’ve bought myself an xbox with a seperate screen, which is fine and sometimes better [...]
Back to my old theme
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008I have restored my last theme, as well as some images, courtesy of my backups and a fresh backup that I got from Priorweb, my hosting provider, who have been very helpful and have reacted promptly.
(I pay them good money for this, of course, but it always nice to be helped along quickly and efficiently).
So. [...]
The blog got hacked.
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008The blog got hacked, it seems somewhere around the end of june. That’s what happens when you take a long vacation, both away from your computer and out of the country.
Dammit !
My apologies to all those who were affected by this. I’ve since deleted all files and have replaced it with the latest version of [...]
It doesn’t have a wienie !
Monday, May 19th, 2008Yup, I totally get the message. Attention to detail is what counts, and that includes making it work juuuust right. That’s the way I try to execute my projects, with attention to detail. So what is a wienie ?
The wienie is the seamless way the glass fits into the metal on an
iPod. It’s the solid [...]
Twinkle, Twinkle, little star…
Sunday, May 4th, 2008??????
If there is not a lot of activity currently on this website, that’s because I’ve discovered Twinkle : a combination of twitter + location awareness using the iPhone.
For those who don’t know what twitter is : it’s sorta like sending text (sms) messages to friends, but you can see them all at the same [...]
Upgrade to Wordpress 2.5
Friday, April 18th, 2008I upgraded to WordPress 2.5 - the interface is a lot more streamlined, but as in any good product that gets an upgrade, there is always an accomodation phase where you suss out where your favourite menu options have gone to.
I took me 10 minutes to find the plugin section again ! I can blame [...]
48 hours of interruption
Sunday, April 6th, 2008Should you’ve passed by the last 48 hours or so, you might have noticed that my domain boschmans.net had been parked, and that you arrived on a meaningless advert page. My apologies for that, this was none of my doing.
So far I have not received an explanation from my website provider (I have been with [...]
Playing Mass Effect now
Monday, March 24th, 2008Woooo. It’ certainly captivating, making me loose a lot of sleeping hours.
A nice engaging storyline. Lots and lots of side quests, which let you beef up your armour, weapons and technique so the main quest runs easier. No rush except if you want to. Save when you want, almost, except for in combat (logical).
I do [...]
installer.app ‘main script execution failure’ & moving your Applications
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008Firmware 1.1.4
If you have moved your Applications to your mobile directory (/private/var/mobile/) you might have problems with your installer.app permissions.
Howto move your applications from your small root partition :
cp -r /Applications /private/var/mobile
mv /Applications /Applications.old
ln -s /private/var/mobile/Applications /Applications
CD into your now-moved Applications folder and do the following :
chmod +s Installer.app/Installer
chown -R root:wheel Installer.app
This worked for me. [...]
Messing about with the options theme
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Oooooh. This looks so cool, with so many bells and whistles, I just have to play around with this.
Please close your eyes, we’ll be back to normal soon enough. Perhaps.
Update : back to my old theme, for now. I just love 3-columns themes.
Upgrading Wordpress to 2.3.3
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008We live in a fast-changing world. For the past few weeks, I had neglected to upgrade to the latest version of Wordpress, and this suddenly came back to bite me in the behind.
I was wondering why suddenly, after all these years when I no longer require commenters to sign up first as a user, I [...]
What punctuation mark are you ?
Saturday, February 16th, 2008Hmmm. Not really what I expected ! I am intrigued as to the qualities of the “dash” so if anybody can tell me what the qualities are I’d thank you kindly for it.
You Are An Exclamation Point
You are a bundle of… well, something.
You’re often a bundle of joy, passion, or drama.You’re loud, brash, and outgoing. [...]
