Today I installed eyeOS. It’s a web-based OS. It’s really cute. It could grow up to be pretty neato someday. Right now, I have literally no idea what to do with it. But you can play with it by clicking here and logging in with guest / guest. There’s a text editor, an address book, […]
I have two backups for comments on my blog. I need to merge them, but I can’t figure out how – if I import one file, it overwrites whatever was there, so I either end up with one set of comments (several years worth, from the beginning until nine days ago) or the other set […]
My web host will be changing while I’m on vacation, which means goblinbox.com might be down for a few days. If this happens, please don’t panic, and I’ll get it sorted out eventually… hopefully without any loss of content. I’m going to try to back up and/or move everything tomorrow, but I don’t have high […]
My work computer has died a hard death. I think it’s the motherboard, but at first it looked like hard drive failure. So I put in another hard drive and got the same error: “Capable, but disabled.” It can’t use the HDD. I just rebuilt my work computer last week, meaning I spent a day […]
Last year, my home box would stall and go to a blue screen that bitched about its core dump status, which was ‘interesting’ enough. But now the box hard boots itself at random intervals, at least once a day. (Yes, I’m running AC. I thought it was a heat problem too.) It’s so exciting when […]
Remember the Briefcase function on Windows 95 that would synchronize the contents of a folder? It was handy if you had a file you wanted to maintain on more than one computer. Now there’s FolderShare.com – file sync, folder syncing, file transfer, share files, web download, access files anywhere. It’s close to what I want, […]
So the new server I told you about, with the missing modules? The one goblinbox was migrating to? Well, that’s cancelled. The ISP had failed to install something, and wiped the entire box in the process of fixing the problem. This so enraged Keef and Liz – they’d each already moved all their clients – […]
Gallery is pissing me off. There’s only so much you can do to the layout using CSS – some of the stuff’s done with HTML and I can’t figure out how to edit it. There aren’t any obvious templates in the app’s files, and all I can find are fairly gay skins that I don’t […]
