Recently, I watched Long Way Down, which is the sequel to Long Way Round. Both of these star Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman. You probably recognize the first name, but possibly not the second (unless you are a huge fan of Deliverance). I’m not sure if a documentary about guys riding around the world is [...]

WebDAV Client – Windows 7
Since I’ve already got Linux & OSX talking to my LDAP/WebDAV enabled Apache, I needed to finish my trifecta… Windows. Specifically, Windows 7. I had heard that it is possible to map WebDAV shares as network drives, just like you would with Samba. Of course, what you hear, what you hope for, and what Windows [...]
SanDisk U3 LaunchPad removal
I’ve covered this topic before, but things change in a couple years, so I thought it was time to do so again. SanDisks’ “U3 LaunchPad” is stupid and evil. It isn’t just some auto-launching application, it basically takes over your entire flash drive so you can’t actually use it how you’d like to. Don’t get [...]
Error: SQL1159 Initialization error with DB2 .NET Data Provider, reason code 10, tokens 0.0.0, 9.7.0
This past weekend I spent way too much time with Jon while trying to get our new work machines setup. Normally most of the time is spent waiting for Visual Studio to install (seriously that thing takes forever), but not so this time. DB2 kept refusing to work and play well with others. Specifically the [...]
iPhone 4 Antenna Problems
Last month, Jon talked about the iPhone 4 and one of the things he discussed was the antenna design and like many new things, “The real question is: will it work well?” Thus far, the answer seems to be a resounding no.
Amazon’s desperate Video On Demand promotions
Last night I was surfing Amazon MP3 for some new music, nothing exciting really. While extremely rare, I decided to splurge and buy an entire album. Before I had even begun the track downloads, I had a new email from Amazon. To be exact, it was an email stating: Your recent order entitles you to [...]
Lost Planet 2: An Exercise in Fuckstration
In which Jon finds that Lost Planet 2 is not the game for him. WARNING: This is by far the most vitriol filled post Jon has created, consider yourself warned.
Blu-Ray Unskippable Bullshit
Recently I received Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (on Blu-Ray) from Netflix. This is one of those movies that you get in the mail and you ask yourself “Why did I add this to my queue?” After some watching it, you realize “Oh yea, Moon Bloodgood was in it and she is hot.” While [...]
Thank you Apple for cleaning up the AppStore
# of Apps removed from App Store by AppShopper.com In case you haven’t heard, Apple recently decided to ban most “sexy” applications from the iTunes app store, nearly 6,000 in total. In brief, they removed anything that had any implied sexuality up to anything showing skin at all. CNN Money put forth the theory that [...]
