Hansel and Gretal drunk at the wheel, but high tech bread crumbs get them home.

When Hansel and Gretal were shunned from their home they immediately found the first drinking hole to drown their sorrows. When they started to eat the pool table and chairs, they were kicked out, but were lucky enough to steal a gingerbread car with NDrive’s G400 PND. This great new device not only […]

I left my default router password in my other purse…

I came home today to find my house had been struck by lightning, which is weird cause it’s still winter here. (welcome to Cleveland) What is even more peculiar is that my wireless router was “smoking” with my telephone and Barry Manilow was playing in the back round. Disturbing thoughts aside, neither […]

Cheating is OK. Linux cheat sheets.

Do you ever find yourself in need of a cheat sheet for all the Linux commands out there? I know I do from time to time. I have even created a few myself but, none of them were as complete or as professional as these. Even if you don’t need them yourself, I’m sure you […]

How to get a blazing fast flash hard drive cheap…

If you are anything like me, and I’m willing to bet you are seeing you are reading this, then the appearance of SSD hard drives makes you drool. Think of those fast boot times. Ummm… Of course there is always a price to pay for that kind of performance and for now that price […]

The easy way to delete local printers from your Windows network pc’s.

You could go around to every PC in your network and delete the local printer that way. Hopefully you don’t have over 10,000 PC’s across the globe cause otherwise you’re about to blow your budget for the remainder of the year. Luckily for you, I found a little script that can run in command line or be written in a bigger script (if you know how) to delete those printers and maybe if you’re lucky, the company will give you a raise for saving them a lot of time and money. (I wouldn’t hold your breath)

How to remove 3 gigs of crap from OSX.

Installing a Mythtv OSX Frontend.

Install OSX and the Mythtv frontend on a clean system.
For Christmas this year I got an awesome gift of a Mac Mini core solo to use as a Mythtv frontend on my bedroom entertainment center. My brother had recently bought two of them and said they worked great. He configured the Mac against his own Mythtv system in Ohio and then shipped it too me in Florida. The unit booted fine when I got it but would not connect to my Mythtv backend. So I started from scratch and here’s how I did it.
