So, the story continues. I’m seriously beginning to suspect the damn Linksys. It’s gotta be the Linksys. B kindly provided me with a Zyxel 660HW, and a Telehell 501, out of which the Telewell works fine. Zyxel seems fucked somehow. Telewell handshakes at about 10/2, which is roughly the same as before (with the linksys) […]
Read MoreSo the server is now back online, after i fixed some port forwarding rules on the modem. SSH traffic is now directed to the correct destination.
Read MoreSo, i have been having some trouble with my Nebula line. About a month ago, something odd happened, and my line dropped, only to reconnect at about half the speed that it used to be. I called them, they fix something and the speed improves marginally, but i have had no explanation as to why […]
Read MoreSo the wife was in a car accident yesterday. No, nothing serious. Some ass in a rental drove in to her while she was giving way to a bus (as is the law).

Read MoreSo okay, you have a problem with there being no utility for configuring how many lines you scroll at once in ubuntu? Shit, i mean, how can this still be missing? There’s no gui for configuring it, and doing it by hand in xorg.conf is a pain too. So in Firefox, the default becomes one […]
Read MoreSo it’s time for another story time with uncle grelbar. This time, i’m going to deal with.. well, car dealerships. This is a story on how they’ll try to fuck you over, but how you can, at least in my case, walk out as a winner. My story begins with a standard annual service for […]
Read MoreOkay, so this piece of shit program is pissing me off. It blocks sites like www.2600.com, which has *no* harmful content on it. When inquired on the reasons, they have not yet replied (I sent mail from my company account a few months ago). I guess it’s kind of like the government blocklist for “child […]
Read MoreI found a tiny tiny memory leak in the popular instant messaging client “Pidgin” today. I was noticing a bit slower than usual system performance, and i checked my RAM usage. I have 4 gigs, so that’s rarely an issue, but it was showing well over 2 gigs in use in normal deskopt usage. Something […]
