  • Copy Cat will copy your files off unreadable media…..

    Yep, neat little free utility I came across today. Copy Cat 2.0 actually skip the bytes which are not readable from file and copy all other bytes therefore it extracts max data which is normally not done by windows copy operation. Copy Cat can be helpful at times when you want to copy a CD…

  • Synergy+ lets you share a mouse and keyboard between several computers.

    I’ve been using Synergy for about 3 years now and never really thought about writing about it. Tonight I came across Synergy+ which is a maintenance fork of the original Synergy. So I thought about writing a small note about it since it’s now maintained again. Synergy+ (synergy-plus) lets you easily share a single mouse…

  • EasyVPN Rocks…..

    It’s probably not right to compare the Comodo EasyVPN with it’s cousin LogMeIn’s Hamachi2. Both products are free and allow you to setup groups of privately connected computers and access them from within that private network. Both are available for Windows only (although there are command line versions of hamachi for Mac and Linux). The…

I was a first year Mathie at University of Waterloo and was having my “liquid lunch” at the bombshelter when the live coverage of “Mauerfall” started……What a amazing experience that was. Follow this link for a set of amazing pictures from past and present, from the fall of the…

  • Russian Lenses Rule :-)

    It’s late fall here in Toronto and I thought I give my M42 Russian lens, Helios 40-2, one more test. This time going for colour and as much swirly bokeh as this thing can produce….. The colour reproduction of this lens is muted. It needs a bit of a kick, but once you kick it…

  • Fix Ctrl-Alt-Backspace problem with Ubuntu 9.10+

    Downloaded and installed 9.10 yesterday and what do you know, someone decided to take away Ctrl-Alt-Backspace — or what I call “Three Finger Salute for Linux”. Whhhaaattt!!!! How the heck are you supposed to kill and restart X without that…..A coworker suggested Alt-PrintScreen-K, but that just restarts GDM, not really useful when X decides to…

  • Solaris 10 Configuration Notes: How the hell does this thing work again….

    It’s been a while since I’ve had the pleasure (read: pain) of working with Sloowaris, but now that we have two 48TB Sun X4540 Thumpers in house, I have to…..Uggghhhh :-). Here are some notes: Remember sudo -i does not work. Use “su -” to get the root environment through ssh (login as regular user).…
