Tuesday, January 27, 2015. My Solidoodle 4: One year later. I've had the printer a full year now, and I would say that I've printed at least couple hundred things.

Surviving the Tech World With Linux. Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Choosing a Small Business Telephone System. If you are going to purchase a phone system for your office, and you. Expect it to scale, I would stick with the tried and true "gold standards" of phone systems. Buy something made by Avaya (partner) or AT&T (merlin). There's tons of support, hardware vendor choices, and documentation available. Seek a second hand phone system on ebay. Or websites like usedphones.com. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Surviving the Tech World With Linux. Saturday, January 17, 2009. HOWTO: Windows Mobile VPN connection to DD-WRT. So, after a little bit of screwing around, I have gotten my Windows Mobile phone to connect to my home network via a PPTP VPN to my DD-WRT router.

Surviving the Tech World With Linux. Saturday, January 3, 2009. How to repair a damaged linux partition - the safe way. The other day, my brother asked me to recover the data from a linux hard drive that would no longer boot for him. He said the superblock was reported as damaged and the machine refused to boot. The first thing I did was download, burn, and boot from the Ubuntu Rescue Remix. I mounted the "victim" drive as follows (after sudo -i to get root access):. Mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/victim drive.

Sure enough, the device had shut off, and it would no longer boot at all (not even to EM mode! My next f...

Surviving the Tech World With Linux. Wednesday, January 6, 2010. But the device kept shutting down before the firmware update could complete. After the firmware update was complete, there was no data on the drives - but my config info was somehow intact! I was surprised, they must store it in flash or NVRAM. The only thing I had to do was reset the language to english. Which involved a lot backflips and screwing around, until I found that article. I found this blog after Googling for info after my Terast...
