Note: access Honda sat-nav diag. menu
Honda Dealer wrote: So, you arrogant beggars who know so much better than the Honda dealerships and who are so quick to rubbish them, don’t know everything after all? OK, the official Honda method for forcing sat-nav to reset to older disc is as follows: 1. Start the engine. 2. error message appears on screen [...]
Handbrake 0.9.5 for OSX PowerPC
There is no official ppc build of Handbrake 0.9.5. Following the wiki compile guide, it is possible for compile it on your own ppc box. Or if you are to lazy, you are welcome to download the ppc binaries I compiled. It works, but it’s not getting faster.
Gameboy (classic?)
Vi fandt Maria’s Gameboy den anden dag. Den havde været pakket ned og gemt væk i vel nok 15 år. Et sæt nye batterier var alt der skulle til for at få liv i den. Den er måske klodset og grafikken er primitiv, men Lisa har da fået lidt glæde af den nu. Det største [...]
My first Python script
I have always avoided Python. I am not sure why, but I think it is mostly because of the syntax, with the needed indention. Well, today I wrote my first script, and I actually like the language a little. I needed to lookup GPS coordinates for a long list of addresses, and didn’t like doing [...]

Apparently either Microsoft’s certification programs only produce people who can [...]
Bootable Software RAID-1 on running system
This is tested on Debian Squeeze, but should work on most Debian derived distributions and on other Linux distributions with small changes. I have written almost the same guide some years ago, but I wanted to add an extra disk to my QNAP NAS and decided to write it down again. Requirements; 2 identical disks [...]
Fjern en regel kampagne fra Venstre
Jeg læser idag i Ventre’s seneste nyhedsbrev om deres Fjern en regel kampagne. Det er jo et rigtig fint initiativ, men jeg har lidt svært ved at tage det alvorligt. Det skal dog ikke stoppe mig i at komme med forslag, så jeg har sendt følgende til deres fjernenregel mailbox;
Plesk 9.x to 10 migration – no IMAP subfolders – workaround
Had the “pleasure” of migrating a Plesk 9.5 Linux server to another running the brand new Plesk 10 panel. Apart from the new GUI interface in Plesk 10, the migration was fast and went smooth. Or so I thought. The first problem I noticed was missing .htaccess files. The other, more serious, problem was with [...]
