Comment on Practising pentatonic scales on guitar by Bas

Bas — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:10:51 +0000

Currently only playing Position 1 and practising the scale as shown in the video tutorial. I still need to figure out how to use the positions when playing in a key.

So if I let say play in key of C to know where to grap Position 1 for example.

Wow nice research and practicing! Do you know all the pentatonic block positions on the neck yet? That will really help you rip out a shredding solo all the way over the neck I’m practicing the different scales now, maybe we’ll cover those next time, looking forward to it!

Comment on Windows 7 and visual web developer express works by Ray Scott

Lucky you! I could not get it to run in Vista. I though by installing Windows 7 I might have better luck. This is not the case, I’m on day two of trying to get this to work in Windows 7 so that I can do my homework and for the first time, it looks like I won’t be submitting an assignment this week! Lets see…. A Microsoft prodict that won’t run on a Microsoft OS….. what’s wrong with this picture?

@Bas
I see – it must be something in my exports file that needs me to reverse lookup. Thanks again for your time and tutorial. Before the VPN we were using Logmein on an XP box to then get on to our Linux NFS share to transfer files from our office to the workshop – grim.

I did as far as I remember not modify my /etc/hosts because I always use the VPN ip address of my server, even when I am at home I still connect my VPN. So Viscosity always connects to my VPN ip which is 10.0.8.1

@Bas

Thanks – worked it out now. I updated etc/exports and added the OpenVPN server IP to my share. Now I can cmd+k and mount the NFS share. The only small snag is that I *have* to use my mac etc/hosts file to map server IP to the serverHame. If I dont do this I get an unable to connect (username/password error). So every time I connect, I have to make sure I’ve got the right IP (either normal LAN or OVPN IP) in my hosts file. This was an issue before open vpn – I just never had to worry about updating etc/hosts.

Are you able to connect to your ubuntu box without mapping in etc/hosts?

Comment on OpenVPN on Ubuntu server for OSX clients tutorial by Bas

Bas — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:00:00 +0000

You should mount using the VPN ip. So something like 10.0.8.1 or something similar.

Nice howto – got OpenVPN working thanks to you! But what next? When I’m in my office I normally use cmd+k to mount my ubuntu NFS share. How do I mount that same share in finder over the VPN? am I missing something obvious?

Help much appreciated!

Ben — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:09:48 +0000

Hey, this is great! I really want to be able to do this. I’ve been searching for an answer to this very problem. So, I type away, and keep getting this message after I type any of the steps following . ./vars

Please edit the vars script to reflect your configuration,
then source it with “source ./vars”.
Next, to start with a fresh PKI configuration and to delete any
previous certificates and keys, run “./clean-all”.
Finally, you can run this tool (pkitool) to build certificates/keys.

Any ideas? I would love to do this.

Comment on Kubuntu Jaunty on Samsung NC10 by Michiel

Michiel — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 10:30:13 +0000

I’m fairly positive that Jaunty is version 9.04 (as it’s still April, thankfully )

Good to hear it works nicely for you! I’ve been running the beta and RC for a while on my laptops and just yesterday upgraded my workstation. This all worked fine, except for the fglrx Ati videodriver on my workstation, which I got to work after some searching.

Time to upgrade xubuntu on my girlfriend’s NC10!

Interesting, it looks like they used a similar keyboard as used in the X360 (really nice laptop btw). Specs don’t seem so spectacularly different from the NC10 though, and I don’t like the immensely glossy screen. Oh well, we’ll see

try out talkonaut. change the sip settings. using talkonaut u can use freecall and a lot of other voip service providers. if u r willing to spent a little more go for octrotalk. the clarity by using octrotalk is very good.

Comment on Display rotation menu for OSX by Bas

Bas — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:01:23 +0000

Another remark is the fact that this program does not ask if the new settings are ok. It just applies them, which avoids clicking another “yes” button.

Comment on Display rotation menu for OSX by Bas

Bas — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:59:06 +0000

Actually pretty often. Since I play guitar frequently it is very nice to have your tab (guitar notation) in portrait mode. This avoids scrolling while playing. With photo editing it can be quite useful as well…

Comment on Samsung NC10 RAM memory upgrade by Don

Don — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:58:14 +0000

Thanks for that. The video helped a lot. To help clarify for others who may come across this and fear snapping small plastic parts:

The NC10 memory panel is held on by the screw at one end, tabs at the other end and at the center, on each side. The tabs at the end simply slide in/out. The center tabs snap in/out. Once you remove the screw, slide your finger or thumb under as close to the center tabs as possible and pull straight up, gently yet firmly. (Do not slide in any direction.) This should keep plastic from breaking.

Also, to view the memory, regardless of OS, do what they guy did in the video. Press F2 while booting to get to the BIOS. The MAIN page has the memory info right there.

Comment on Display rotation menu for OSX by Quintin Smits

Quintin Smits — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:29:50 +0000

Alt+F2 brings up the display preferences window on OSX (and Alt+F10 brings up the sound preferences).

Do you really need to have yet another icon in your menubar, just for rotating your screen? (How often do you use it, really?)

Comment on Samsung NC10 hardcase by Bas

Bas — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:55:42 +0000

I am using my netbook when I have to visit my customers in order to configure their routers etc. I can confirm though that watching a movie is possible (at least it worked with Linux).

Using Dreamweaver is a little bit too much, though possible it might not work very confortable. I tried to run Visual Studio Express, it worked but the screen is far too small in order to be productive.

Youtube works like a charm, I did not have any problems. Keep in mind that I use Kubuntu Linux as the operating system and not Windows.

Comment on Samsung NC10 hardcase by Jaap van der Veen

Jaap van der Veen — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 09:38:17 +0000

Hey there,

I’m wondering… For what purposes do you use your netbook? Can you watch online movies with it a little bit? And Flash animations? I’m also thinking about purchasing one. I would like to use it for checking mail (duh), some quick webprogramming (preferrably with Dreamweaver -> you think it’ll run dreamweaver?) and watching youtube etc.

Do you think the netbook could do these tasks with ease?

Kind regards,
Jaap (shoox.nl)
