4 years, over 100 grand, and endless repetition “you must use your e-mail account”, then after graduating and 6 months later, they delete it. I was too busy in the midst of relocating my life halfway across the country, never mind accepting a new job the education helped to provide, and now my account was [...]

If you haven’t already, head on over to FaceBook and set your username, so you can get (ugh) MySpace style pages – for example my FaceBook page is now http://www.thefacebook.com/andrewpeng Also, apparently since I am old school, I keep logging in to http://erau.thefacebook.com. Yep.

In my previous post, I discussed somehow squirreling a Palm Pre onto my excellent SERO 500 plan. As promised, I went to a local Sprint store and asked one of their sales agents if I could activate a non-contractual Palm Pre (purchased at the full retail price) on the SERO 500 plan. The agent was [...]

I need to get these files to people that belong to a certain vBulletin community, and only people of that vBulletin community.

Why is everyone absolutely going nuts. Each day, 2700 people die of malaria, but it doesn’t make national news. To date, less than 30 people have died of swine flu, oh, sorry, H1N1, and out of that 30 or so, only one has died in the US, and it wasn’t a US citizen to begin [...]

If you’re running a CMS with dynamic redirection using mod_rewrite on DreamHost, you may run into a problem trying to access your statistics – since the .htaccess file specifies files and links, and not server configuration redirects like the /stats/ directory, you can be in a bit of trouble. When you try to access the [...]

For those of you on shared hosting with Dreamhost – we all know they’re oversold up to their eyeballs. While the prices are great and the proposed services offered are even greater, their servers are overloaded and very slow. Very very slow. I took a dive into their wiki today and found this gem: PHP [...]

If you’ve ever wanted to combine lots of PDF files into one large multi-page PDF file, and you want to do it with legal, free utilities, give PDFTK Builder a go. Can also change PDF permissions!
