I want to have speakers in every room of my house, and I want them to be able to play the same stations, or different ones. Basically I want to have digital FM radio across the whole house, so that as I walk from the living room, to the back

While working to get rid of all our 2003/2008 DCs to get our AD to a 2012 Native level I came across one 2008 DC that was extremely difficult to rid ourselves of. It was created about a year ago to replace our 2003 FSMO master, and had been

I've been noticing that periodically my MySQL service will hang and require a restart. It's easy enough to SSH in and restart it, but I only catch it after the fact. So I wrote this little script which curls my website, sees that it's down and restarts MySQL and shoots

I'm very happy the fat fuck is out of office. He's bad for Toronto in many ways. From his idiotic stance on mass transit, his shit take on bikes, giving Don Cherry an ounce of attention, trouncing worker's right to strike, his stance on non-football related social services, his attempt

As soon as it was announced that it was on sale, myself and many others flocked to the Google store to try and buy a Nexus 4. As with many others, I could not, and found the entire experience hearkened back more to the failed Nexus One launch than the

Going through my site-stats, and list of common referrers I found a few neat things, the first is that Google provides about 98% of my traffic. That wasn't surprising, but I'm interested in the following two referrers, which are rather frequent, and are not public websites. tl;dr http://helpdesk:

I have a VPN setup from my router to work so that I don't have to dial one up when I need to get to some server from home. However, I also live in Canada and want to be able to purchase stuff from Google Play that I can't get

While revisiting Mosh, I came across an issue I didn't remember when going through my initial Moshtribulations. Trying to compile the Protocol Buffers failed with the following error due to a missing package: tl;dr google/protobuf/text_format.cc:36:18: math.h: No such file or directory The

I wanted to install a cert on my router so that I could stop getting shit for not trusting it when I log in. However, installing the cert on every device that I access it with. Since I've got all my computers on a domain, I can just install the

I have been trying to figure out how to get all my machines to use the same PATH since it's getting annoying always forgetting that things aren't included on my desktop PATH that are on my laptop, and vice versa. tl;dr Since GPOs are one of my major weakspots

A buddy of mine has convinced me of the merits of Mosh, and I want to use it with my OpenIndiana file server. There's no package for it, so I've got to compile from source. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this, so it's all a

This is hands down one of the best metal records I've heard in ages. Obviously they're from the 80s, there's no way a band name like Satan would've made it out of the beginning days of metal unused. NWOBHM era, but this record is faster than pretty much anything from

I wanted to set one of the NICs on my OI box to have a static since it's got a direct connection to my ESX box, bypassing any switches, and directly linked to a VM on that machine. I routinely transfer large chunks of data (1-20GB files) from that VM

Horseshit... It refuses to work in FireFox5, even with the instructions I found detailing how to extract the plugins and manually install it. So, IE it is... It's doable, but it's a stupid ugly pain in the ass. I assume if you're trying to do this, you know how to

I'm not a fan of SonicWall or Juniper networking gear, because I find them to be needlessly complex and overpriced for their functionality. Due to this lack of appreciation, I'm not familiar with them because I've focused more on other platforms.  My distaste for those devices was heightened recently when
