Imagine it is the middle of the night. The moon is waning, and the mists begin to rise. Along side the trail that you are standing in, gravestones frame each and every bend. You are surrounded, lost within a grave yard. Great horror movie plot, eh? That’s what happened to me tonight while I was…

Congrats buddy. Just north of Kensington and you can open that Art Shop you always wanted. Congrats to both Terence and Natasha, we welcome them to the land of home ownership. It is a 2-floor, 1800 sq. ft. house is located north of Kensington Market, downtown Toronto. It features 3+ parking spots, a secret garden…

Since I run my own server, some of the things that I have always wondered is whether I am wasting my time with all of this stuff, and if purchasing a shared webhosting space with an ISP is the way to go. A friend recently asked me which webhost I would choose. Through my research…

I first ran across Mambo CMS a long while back when I was struggling to choose a CMS for IA Dynamo. Late in 2005, most of the core 3rd-party developers forked Mambo and created Joomla!. I ended up choosing textpattern. When I joined Imprints Group, a revamp of the site was very necessary. It had…

So after chatting with my ISP, Teksavvy, it was determined that my router seems to be the cause for the frequent disconnects. So I flashed my router with the latest HyperWRT-Thibor release firmware. You can read about at it’s Wikipedia page. I hope that this will stop the wireless dropouts as well as improve my…

In my last post, I was convinced that the DHCP server on the speedtouch 615 was the cause of the wireless problem. I have concluded that my original theory is wrong. My new theory is that the dynamic IP address change from my ISP is the cause for the problems that I have been experiencing.…

I’ve been having wireless network problems ever since I moved into the new condo with Jen. At first, I thought that it was because I had purchased a v5 WRT54GS (this uses a completely different operating system than the four prior linux ones). I saw a lot of frequent dropoffs while other networks in the…

Printing on Mac OS X for the Dell 1600n Update: I’ve revised the steps for setting up the printer as Line Printer Daemon (i.e., you print directly to the IP address). It is much faster than AppleTalk. -Tai It seems there is a Bonjour bug in Mac OS X that affects some people trying to…

After the brown-rice-whole-wheat-bread-brocolli-green-bean-lettuce-cucumber-no-salt-no-dairy-no-fat-no-oil-no-stimulant diet, I realized that coffee probably was equivalent to about 2 hours worth of sleep for me. Over the following 9-days, I decided not to drink coffee. Broke down (rather easily I might add) when Flo offered me a cup of coffee at their place this Friday before a rousing game of…
