EVE Tricks – While waiting on a restore

Friday, March 24th, 2006

I found a nice little feature in EVE a few days ago, and decided to share with some corp members, then went stuff it and put it up here.

I included the Image and put the transcript, plus extras in the read more

With ANY link in the game of eve, you can chance the title of the link.

The easiest way to think of it is as a
[a href="item"]title[/a]
The Angle brackets are changed for obvious reasons.
If you edit it right, you can change the title of the link :P

Remember old Frontpage 97 editing links ?

Unattended Windows XP/2003 Installations Over the Network

Friday, March 24th, 2006

I recently had the opportunity to try setting this up.

The quick list is
PXElinux
Bart’s Network Bootdisk (for deployment from the pxelinux server)
setupmgr from the deploy.cab on the XP/2003 CD
Linux Server to run it all from.

I’ll write more about it later on, but it is very interesting, and a huge time saver for techs like me who have to do XP / 2K3 installs all the time.

Also I haven’t tried it yet, but I am looking at using a combination of VMware and PXELinux to make my laptop able to be a portable “drop and install” server.

I’ll put up more news on that when I get a few minutes to myself.

VNC on Pocket PC

Friday, March 24th, 2006

It wsan’t hard to find, but very useful, VNC for Pocket PC.

I haven’t managed to get a connection to work yet, but it was only 10 seconds of trying, and connecting to my UltraVNC desktop (which uses MS auth instead of password, but it should fallback to password when it gets older client connections)

Just for posterity, check it out.

Server Updating and Pie

Friday, March 24th, 2006

When come back bring Pie !

Anyway.

I had some trouble with my latest apt-get, I was getting GPG errors on the keys for the servers.

Here is the link and the excerpt from what I found on how to fix it, using this as a base, it’s pretty easy to figure out how to fix.

http://lists.debian.org/deity/2005/08/msg00178.html

Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://kanotix.com ./ Release: The following signatures
couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
NO_PUBKEYFB1A399A71409CDF
W: GPG error: http://www.stanchina.net ./ Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:

W: GPG error: http://hinterhof.net ./ Release: The following signatures
couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
NO_PUBKEY A0E41455F530F04D

These GPG errors can be corrected by running:
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 71409CDF E46F104F F530F04D
&& apt-key add /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg && apt-get update

My delayed WoW update

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

I quit WoW a few weeks ago, after the collapse of the Revenant Slayers, and just the cost of a game I wasn’t playing much.

Plus I got really annoyed at constant ganking of my low level NE druid on a PvP server ….

I like PvP, but why would 60’s constantly gank 30’s !

I digress … and quit.

EVE Radio

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

I have been listening to EVE Radio pretty constantly, at work and home.

It’s cool to be in a channel in a game and able to request songs and listen to them streamed.

Anyway, plus ingame humour and Gate camping gets called sometimes :P

FreeNX

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

I just started playing with FreeNX (when I was looking for a VNC Linux Server tutorial, it has been WAY too long since I did it :P )

It looks good, I have a few bugs, but it goes pretty well, and it seems very user friendly.

Check it out.

Recent Updates

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Haven’t had much time lately to update the site, working damned long hours at the moment.

But I have a new addiction, EVE-Online, after I cancelled my World of Warcrack subscription, I got given a 14 day trial of EVE.

And I was HOOKED.

Anyway, expect more updates to come.

Especially some EVE screenshots.
