MySQL Front is not dead

admin — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 04:31:55 +0000

Well I thought it was, while googling for it again checking if there is any news I was a bit of “ooh” when I saw their download page.

I checked their What’s new page and they did continue the project.

Before, mySQL-front is one of the “free” mySQL GUI, althought not open-source or freedom software. It sits right next to phpmyadmin in my list. Last time I heard for mySQL-front is that they stopped the project because of some issues w/ mySQL itself being a “free” mySQL GUI.

After reading the time difference when it stopped, 16 of Jun 2006. They resume the project 27 of Oct 2007 more than a year after. I still use it way back in 2006 till now, but only till now that I knew it was resume more than a year after. Maybe its because I didn’t have problem using the very very old version.

Hackintosh

Currently, I’m playing with Hackintosh a.k.a. OSX86 the Mac OS X installed on a PC. As of now, I’m successful in installing one in a D946GZIS Intel Motherboard, Dual Core Pentium CPU. But still need some fix on driver issues, right now I’m desperate configuring its NIC which is an Intel PRO 100 VE. With two 512 DDR2 Rams and a GEFORCE 7300 GT 256 DDR, its nice to know it’s running smoothly. I will post more in my venture to the hackintosh world.

Xbox 360 Disc Scratch Replacement Program

Xbox 360 Disc Replacement Program

While reading some websites, articles, youtube videos regarding disc scratching on Xbox 360. I found this on http://support.xbox.com regarding their Disc Replacement Program.

But still, it is not satisfying to know that you have to pay your replacement disc if you apply the program. I mean, c’mon you bought your 100% original disc then get scratched by your very own gaming console unit.

Here are some lab (and conventional living room environment test) that the xbox 360 really scratch disc even on its standard operating state.

My Hackintosh

admin — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:44:21 +0000

After a week or so… (I think I started January 21, 2009) , I have successfully configured my LAN to work. It’s an onboard Intel Pro 100/VE LAN adapter. It took me days just to configured it. Finally I have good internet connection on my PC that run MAC’s OS X. Configuring drivers for a non-mac computer like the PC takes a lot of patience, attitude, concentration, coffee, peanuts, and a whole lot of reading. You see, configuring in a “hackintosh environment” is like setting up a linux system. You configure your own drivers, setup up vendor and device id manually. Unlike in windows that you just double click your driver installers.

Upon writing this post, I’m actually writing “in it” using the operating system of mac in a pc.

Here’s the screenshots of my Hackintosh.

and here…

(Having hardtime to get a screenshot though, it’s quite a culture shock if you are used to windows)

I made the screenshot using GRAB.
I have installed Yahoo Messenger for my mac (err.. pc), blogged, surfed, chat and the SDK Developer Kit for iPhone.

I still have more to do, my video card aren’t running at it’s full capabilities. My desktop resolution is 1024×768, and my soundcard still aren’t working.

But I guess all will be easy now I have internet connection.

The Damn OS is fast…

Virtual post-it software for your Windows XP

admin — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 05:03:35 +0000

When I realized that my “hard copy” of post-its’ are falling off like leaves on my desk (particularly on my computer’s casing. I realized I wanted a virtual post-it, search the net for one and bump to this open-source post it program for windows xp.

It’s called “Stickies for Windows”

It needs Microsoft Windows Installer and Microsoft .NET 2.0 to be installed.

It’s really handy. Got bored with the usual notepad usage… hehe

Hope you enjoy it too.
