Changed website from my modified Copperleaf Plus theme to Pixeled 1.5. Modifications underway. Pardon the dust.
President Andrew Jackson 1832

“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”
(President Andrew Jackson 1832)

openSUSE 11 x86_64 Flash FireFox
by dervish on Aug.14, 2008, under Linux
If Adobe Flash is not working in FireFox, verify that the nspluginwrapper was installed.
nspluginwrapper
nspluginwrapper is an Open Source compatibility plugin for Netscape 4 (NPAPI) plugins. It enables you to use plugins on platforms they were not built for. For example, you can use the plugins compiled for i386 in Mozilla on Linux/x86_64 or other architectures.
Recover Vista Boot Record
by dervish on Aug.10, 2008, under Windows
Did GRUB get a little carried away and overwrite the Vista boot loader? Here’s the fix:
- Boot to Vista installation CD
- Enter system recovery > command prompt
- Run: Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
- Run: Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
GRUB is now gone, and the system should boot normally to the Vista login screen.
