Just ran into this quick blurb… zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=false butank/DATA/backups So I have backups running to a secondary storage ZFS pool in my server and today I realized my disk space was consumed by ZFS snapshots. Â I thought, there’s no way even my backups are using that much data, even […]
My awesome wife brought home an iPad Mini for me last night. :) My super quick review….  pretty much like most other reviews… Kicks butt!!  The nerds out there who complain about the non-retina screen, I partially agree with. Regular people won’t care. The nerds complain about the older processor […]
Just ran into this solution which works pretty good. Â I first found that I could create an ISO image from my CD disc by using cat, like so: cat /dev/sr0 > /path/to/new.iso However, using the “right tool for the job” we can use the “readom” command line tool. According to […]
So with the big outage today, I did some quick looking around. Just wondered if there were any DNS registrars that have decent security practices. It’s tough to find. Not that the attack on GoDaddy was a security breach, it wasn’t. It was a Denial of Service attack, not a […]
Recently I upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04. We had UnixODBC running fine in 10.04, but something changed because the odbc drivers couldn’t be found.

Carbon Copy Cloner backup saves productivity and downtime during OSX Mountain Lion upgrade because of a damaged disk error. I could’t wait, I had to install OSX Mountain Lion on my main, production MacBook Pro. Yeah, shouldn’t have done that. Well, I had a Mac Mini that I already upgraded […]
I was having a tough time getting my UITableView to get into “Edit Mode” or editing style, as Apple calls it, when I touch the Edit button on my navigation bar. Â I solved it, but here’s a little back story first. Â I had my view setup in Storyboard, only it […]
I am testing out the Beta of Bitcasa right now. Its pretty cool! Â I haven’t done too much with it yet, so I don’t want to comment on any of its pros or cons just yet. Â One thing, however, did catch my attention. Â I use Crashplan as my main backup […]
I setup a new computer for a client, and Windows 7 would not map the drives in the logon script for the domain account. Ran into this issue, again. Our domain uses a VBScript as our login script, and it appears to run. It runs correctly if started manually, just […]
