1. Flushing DNS

    It’s bad to remember how to flush DNS in windows and not know what to do in OS X, when it’s your main system.

    Windows:
    C:>ipconfig /flushdns
    OS X command
    bash$ lookupd -flushcache
    Linux:
    $/etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart … Read More »

  3. scattered themes

    I finaly updated my early scattered themes. Now they are compatible with wordpress 2+.

    Both themes are on Google Code and soon I’ll have the rest of my plugins and themes hosted there as well. It’s much easier to manage since issue tracking is cleaner then comments and a wiki is nicer then FAQ pages.
    Scattered found here

    Slate found here.

    Now the hard part, updating all of those external links and descriptions.

  5. Accomplishment

    Not only did I finally finish release version one of my Google AJAX Search plugin but the page that I wrote in the Wordpress Codex was published. Pretty awesome when you have a page all for yourself. Especially cool since the last time I updated a wiki I was denied.

  6. Macbook Pro Battery Swelling

    For the past couple months I’ve been having some real problems with my Macbook Pro just shutting down when it goes to reserve power rather then gracefully shutting down and going into an automatic suspend where it restarts loading the cached memory like it never shut down at all. A huge feature I’ve been missing and had been too lazy to figure out. Then in the last few weeks it’s been just shutting down anywhere from 45 minutes to a full hour before the battery was supposed to run out. Extremely annoying when you are writing something and your work is completely lost. I was prepared to send the entire macbook pro back to Apple but instead I checked out if I was eligible for the battery recall that I remembered was such a edia blitz a while back and I then noticed the battery had swelled up. So I filled out the online form for a replacement.

    The great news is, I finally have a fully working macbook pro thanks to Apple shipping the replacement overnight for free. I’m clocking about 3 hours of battery life compared to the 1.5-2 spontaneous hours I had just a few days ago. I also ordered another battery which I’ve heard good things about.

    This is a prime example of participating in battery recalls instead of just ignoring them. It could have been a lot worse and my lap could have been destroyed or our house burnt down.

    I’m really glad I have a view at work because it’s days like this that make it worth while. I love the rainy days. They don’t happen too much and it’s good to have the calmness forced on you to stay at home and relax. Since I’m at work I’ll just lean back … Read More »

  10. Memories

    I missed my blogoversary on Sunday, thanks to my live archives for reminding me. 3 years earlier on that day I posted about “Best Buy not a Best Bet” with iBlog on Sara’s old mac laptop. It’s not a great post but it’s fun to look back and remember how that page looked so long ago in relation to this site. Best yet, it’s serves as an awesome reminder of Tim for me; telling me I needed a comment system on that old iBlog so he could coment on his experience, since that “friend” in the post was him.
