Manually Run “Fix Permissions” From Recovery

Leave a Comment / Android / drew

I own a Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich).  My phone is rooted and running a custom recovery (Clockworkmod Touch 5.8.0.2).  I’m not sure if it’s been the case since I purchased the phone (and originally had the most recent non-touch version of Clockworkmod) or if it’s after upgrading to the touch […]

I’ve been running my Exchange 2010 OWA site on a non-standard port (default is 443) for a while so that I can run SSL for my personal website (you’re reading it) on the standard port.  My server is hosted at home, and I only have 1 public IP, so unless I (re-)installed everything on a

We upgraded our VMware infrastructure to v5 back around the time it was released late last summer. Since then I’ve been having an issue where the Storage View feature of vCenter would not load.

2 Comments / XBMC / drew

I recently installed XBMC on my living room server in order to better supply my 1080p TV with downloaded media. Upon trying to play an MKV x264 movie, I was presented with an all green screen but the video’s proper audio. It turns out that this was caused by enabling hardware acceleration, which was found

Manual WordPress Backup (on Windows)

Leave a Comment / Microsoft - General / drew

I was running the WP-DB-Backup plugin for this blog up until recently when it suddenly stopped working.  I tried troubleshooting a little bit before I said “screw it, I’ll backup myself”.  My solution was to write a script that will create a dump of my MySQL database, add it and my WordPress directory to a

WordPress–Add Text To Single Scrolling Line

Leave a Comment / Wordpress / drew

While working on another post and attempting to insert code, I came across the problem of not being able to insert single lines of code on one line within WordPress.  This ends up displaying a confusing, multiple line display of what should only be one line of code.  The solution for this was to first
