How-To

Weinre (WEb INspector REmote) is a debugger for webpages that is designed to work remotely. This is especially helpful for debugging web pages that are running on mobile devices.

I just upgraded to ESXi 5, however there was no support for the JMicron ATA Controller on my EP45-UD3L board.

I updated danisoto’s driver to be ESXi 5 compatible with the help of the pata_jmicron linux source.

Today the English version of Wikipedia is blacked out to protest the SOPA legislation that is on the books in the United States. Sources say that people wishing to access Wikipedia can still do so using the mobile version of the site; however, this is unnecessary as they are using simple Javascript to overlay the site content with the “Blacked Out” message.

I wanted to try out some of the new features in the upcoming XBMC Eden release.

The problem is that I am running XMBC-live on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and the Eden xbmc-live package requires the uxlaunch package which is only available in newer versions of Ubuntu. However, it is still possible to get a working xbmc-live setup by manually configuring the system startup.

I recently re-discovered my ATI Remote Wonder and decided to get it working under my Ubuntu Linux XBMC install.

While experimenting with mobile development on the Blackberry Webworks Platform I found that it was extremely difficult to get any debugging information out of the device simulator to help debug javascript errors.

When I was first experimenting with GIT I was administering the server using the wbm-virtualmin-git plugin for Virtualmin. As a result, I was using the HTTP protocol to access the git repository and preform user authentication.

It seems that despite all the hard work of the Jenkins team to ensure a smooth move over to the new name, some of the maven repositories have not been updated just yet.

This weekend I was having problems with my wireless connection dropping ping packets and being generally unreliable. I decided to switch the channel that it was running on, but first I had to check to see which channel had the least amount of traffic on it.
