    PHP just stopped working

    Yep. It seems to happen with every update. At least they leave an httpd.applesaved out there for you to repair the 'damage' though. I guess I'd rather that than to have the webserver come up in some weird, insecure state, but I know that I'm not soon going to update my webserver from 10.2.3. I...

    X11 Forwarding Solaris Desktop

    I can try... :) Here's a "simple" 5-step plan to getting a remote X application to display on your Mac running X11. Note that with the exception of pathing and the presence of the korn shell, this will also work the same way with a Linux, BSD, AIX, or even Darwin machine. Step 1. Prepare...

    PHP just stopped working

    Actually, there were changes to the httpd.conf. The big one is the addition of Rendezvous support. With mod_rendezvous.so, a 10.2.4 webserver will show up in Safari's Rendezvous bookmarks. I don't know that there were any other major changes, though...

    iBook battery 56 % charge drops suddenly to 0 % !!!

    The PMU reset didn't seem to have any effect (positive or negative, pardon the pun) on the battery situation with my iBook. I have seen some suggestions on the Apple Discussions thread that Apple is definitely aware and working on a solution, but one of the problems that they're apparently...

    1st of april! Let's take a closer look...

    Yeah, it looks like the site cratered... I've mirrored it on .mac and changed the link above. Hopefully, I won't share the same fate as the original site... :)

    1st of april! Let's take a closer look...

    I thought that this one was very clever. It actually fooled me, and got me thinking, "WTF? How is enforcement of something like this supposed to work???" On about my third time through it, I noticed the date at the top of the RFC, and had a pretty good laugh about it... :) Credit where...

    MySQL: root without pass as default

    Setting the password for root in mySQL: mysqladmin -u root password '<password>' mysqladmin -u root -h <hostname> password '<password>' Where <password> is something other than "password" and <hostname> is the dns name of the the host on which mysql is running. You can use 'localhost'...

    Quartz Extreme Supported Machines?

    Nope. Radeon (or better) is required. Rage won't do it.

    New Fonts?

    Simply copy the font file to ~/Library/Fonts, where '~' is your home directory. Windows TrueType fonts (with the .ttf extension) will work.

    Jason's Daily Pic Thread! (Big pictures - not 56k modem friendly)

    Here's one: This was taken a couple of months ago, after another of the snowstorms we got here. It's been an odd winter in this part of world. Usually, we only get 1 or 2 bad storms. This winter, there were at least 4. I've a few other shots from the storms... I'll post more later..

    Spymac revives the "iWalk/Apple Tablet" debate

    As much as I'd like something like this to be real, I have to agree with the unnamed source. From the descriptions of it that I've seen, this sounds like a remote-desktop/thin-client style device, and those have never really caught on outside vertical markets... If the thing is not autonomous...

    Alternative to Virtual PC??

    I can't really speak for what Lurk's doing, but there are some commercial packages that run on Linux, and are binary-only packages. For instance, running a WebLogic/WebSphere server for test/dev on this kind of thing would be perfect, given that neither BEA or IBM are likely to release MacOSX...

    LAN sending data over WAN with switch

    Sure... sudo route add -host <destination>/32 <gateway> Where the remote machine's ip addy is the destination, and your ip addy is the gateway. For example: sudo route add -host 10.0.0.4/32 192.68.1.7 However, if they're on different subnets, I don't think it'll work. As others...

    Third Party Wireless Driver

    And Google reveals.... http://www.ioxperts.com/80211b_X.html http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/ I used the one on sourceforge on my Wallstreet with an Orinoco card with good results until the harddrive died... the ioxperts driver seems to have a much larger list of supported cards...

    Different `cd ..` behaviour in Jag for symlinks?

    I'd noticed this behaviour in Puma, and it always seemed to annoy the heck out of me. By day, I work on Solaris machines, which when you cd out of a symlinked directory, you end up in the real parent directory, not the parent of the symlink. I actually prefer it that way, and I use ksh, not...

    Apple Remote Desktop and LinkSys cable router

    It's most likely that the firewalls at work don't allow outbound traffic like that. Depending on the proxies at work, you might be able to get it to work if you can configure the ARD server/client to use different ports, and configure the client to use the proxies. I don't know for sure, since...

    OSX as FTP server?

    Yes, but unless the NAT is opened to forward traffic to the FTP server, knowing the external address isn't gonna do any good. Three ways around this: 1. Somehow convince the admin of the NAT to open it up to allow the traffic through to the Mac. Not likely, since the NAT implies that...

    Bluetooth Questions?

    When I first got my first Bluetooth adaptor, none of the options for BT would show up until I had rebooted with the adaptor attached. Weird. It only happened that way on one machine. The other machines would show the options more-or-less immediately on restart of the System Preferences app...
