I LOVE SONGBIRD, but it wouldn’t recognize my iPod Shuffle. I use this one to workout and need hopping tunes to keep my miles time down. If you have an iPod that refuses to be recognized here is the fix: Connect iPod Open terminal cd /Volumes/$IPOD_NAME where IPOD_NAME is obviously the name of your iPod visible on the desktop rm -rf /Volumes/$IPOD_NAME/iPod_Control Restart Songbird Done!
I love my MacBook Pro more than I love my motorcycle. There I said it. When I don’t get a chance to ride my motorcycle I get cranky and irritable, but when I don’t know where my computer is…death to all. The only thing that exceeds my love of Mac is my love of Linux. The reason I began using Apple products was from the consulting days of my life. I needed a machine that when I opened the lid, turned on, and began doing what I told it to do. Linux does this just spiffy, but the problem is I am fiddgity. My work machine was in a constant state of subversion dumps and compiles. A new kernel patch set? Sure why not. GIT Release of GNOME looking spiffy, download away. The problem is that when you live on the edge it is sharp. Bleeding edge releases in Linux made my laptops constant compiling machines. I tinker and therefore I Mac. ...

I always keep my eyes on what modules are undergoing FIPS validation. Here is an email sent to my teams… A shortcoming of open source has always been the lack of validated security modules. Red Hat has recognized this shortcoming and submitted their products and libraries for FIPS validation. As we move to more secure enterprise solutions it will be important to remain aware of these products as to lean on them in our products. Using validated products removes the need to take a hit during C&A or seek waivers. Just a friendly FYI from your IA Architect: ...
Just a side note for when I forget how I fixed this… When using CloneZilla you can capture server images and redeploy them unless there are hardware differences. To fix issues with hardware changes between physical server hardware and VMware here are my fix actions: Windows 2003 Enterprise Change the hard drive to IDE from SCSI. Windows will blue screen when you boot after image deployment since it cannot find the drive to boot from. You will get the error: 0x0000007b After booting windows 2003 you can then install the BusLogic or LSI SCSI drivers Red Hat Linux 5 Boot with the first CD of the install set and instead of an install, use linux rescue. Once booted chroot /mnt/sysimage Blank out the /etc/modprobe.conf mv /boot/initrd-2.6.18-20.el5.img /boot/initrd-2.6.18-20.el5.img.orig mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-20.el5.img 2.6.18-20.el5 reboot Windows XP Change the hard drive to IDE from SCSI. Windows XP in the default install does not include the two SCSI adapters VMware supports, BusLogic or LSI Logic. During the CloneZilla restore you are given a few options. The ones to select to ensure a successful MBR restore are: -t1 -j1 These settings will allow you to move your physical clonezilla images to vmware.
