My xbox360 – Part 3

Yep, it’s been about a month and this means it is time for an update. Well .. as expected UPS is terrible. I never got the package, and had to wait until the repair order showed as ‘canceled, no repair’. Which is finally did. Time to try again.

Create, Merge, Share PDF Documents

One of the problems in the past with multiple Operating Systems and versions, was that you could not easily share a document from a UNIX machine with a Windows machine, or a Mac. These days this is no longer an issue and great solutions that look beautiful can now be used. Hopefully this blog entry helps you remember this and start doing it this way too.

Registration is Closed

Due to the massive lack of proper anti spam during registration options from Wordpress compared to enterprise solutions, I am forced to turn off registration on my blog. I got better things to do than baby sit my web site. If you wish to comment please contact me by mail.

Yes! It’s possible. There .. that should answer the question of ‘Can I run Counterstrike: Source and Half Life 2, etc on my Mac?’ Now let me explain how I’ve experienced it.

It’s time for PHP 5

Despite that it has been known for a while, the time has now simply come. PHP 4 has received its final release, version 4.4.9. The last security fix, the last bug fixes, and the last time it will get support. It’s time for PHP 5. If you run a web site at a hosting provider, or perhaps are your own host .. this blog entry is a required read for you.

LHC Dooms Day Is Among Us

http://www.lhcountdown.com/

14 hours left on the clock, I will be sleeping most of them. In case we all die – but you still get to read this: I love you all, except the people that I dislike.

The fear: don’t play with mother nature and the powers of the universe; black hole fail?

The reality: Mwah, fear by ignorance ;)

So, see you all tomorrow. After which we can focus on 2012 :-O

Upgraded my RAM to 6GB

Yes! I found out I have two open slots on my riser board for 2x 512, 2x 1, 2x 2, 2x 4 or 2x 8 – Well, let’s not get crazy, but .. I left the default 2x 512MB in, and added 2x 1GB later, and 6 months later another 2x 1GB, and the other week I had a person on tweakers.net offer 2x 512MB for cheap. So instead of trippling that money to get 2GB more I put in his 2x 512MB to go from 5 to 6GB. Very nice! </borat> It gives play room to the 64bit OS and helps keep that hard drive swap low. And of course, gives Photoshop and other programs who love RAM some space to enjoy.
