firewire sbp2port.sys code (10)

· · (0) · ·

so, i have two firewire/usb combo (dual interface, powered) external drives. both drives failed to attach via firewire on my laptop --and both work fine via USB. so i'm thinking my firewire hardware is messed up on my laptop, right?. but i've also got an external firewire CD that is working -so the firewire hardware should be just fine --what gives? i've fussed with it before, spending a few hours trying to fix it, but gave up. with some free time now, i sat down to fix this for good.

netgear ps121v2, works!

· · (0) · ·

Appears the PS121v2 also features an actual print server interface (SMB or raw tcp, rather than the remote USB hub mode the install software attempts to use). who knew!?!

the setup just installs a remote USB hub, no other options. while this would seem like a reasonable approach for USB printers (just make it surrogate for the USB wire, how could you go wrong?). appears their software is either buggy, or simply not compatible with the better part of printers out there, including mine. i'm not sure what's going on.

like a lot of folks that posted online; i found the installer would hang at 90% complete. after restart etc, i did manage to print something. but when i got it to work, it returned an error after a single print job and required resetting the printer to clear. lame. plus, you're stuck with the default 'networked' printer name it registers (can't change, it just resets on power up, grrrr). i think most people gave up well before this point.

etrex legend hcx

· · (1) · ·

i've been thinking about replacing my old model (falling apart really) with a new one; those color screens are nice, easier to read)... it looks like Garmin has finally put out an e-trex model with a high sensitivity SiRF Star III chip (some reports say 'high sensitivity antenna'. seems like it's the *same* patch antenna --but with the new chip).

while poor reception is not an issue out on the playa (works quite well there), the original model had trouble in other areas, like thick forests and in the city. been a sore point in an otherwise great all-around series. better reception will make it more dependable. so that's a plus, and welcome news.

the new version also sports a micro-SD slot for map data, making interfacing with a computer and downloading/transferring maps and tracklogs even easier. so that's another plus. might be worth upgrading given these new features.

i'd still like to see a mapping gps in a smaller form factor --Garmin never expanded on the trim Geko line, too bad really.

analog shutdown!

· · (0) · ·

Carriers will start shutting down the analog cellular network in February 2008.

I remeber my dad's brick phone, the first portable. Making a call from a car was novel. Got my first analog phone in college. then a second phone a few years later, opted for Voicestream when that was new (before it was bought by T-Mobile).

I still have the analog phone, kept it as a backup on roadtrips, but stopped service when plans changed. While the analog network has been around for a long time, it's only been ~15 years since cell phones have been popular. I thought the analog network would be around (for a few more years anyway) but it's going away --and fast!

I'm not sure about coverage either -it used to be the analog network was the only service in remote areas. maybe that's changed, especially considering the shutdown. Some folks have kept analog phone around just for 911 service. that's gone now.

outlook error message

i got this error message recently. none of my calendar items would update, or even open. "The item may not have been deleted correctly. If someone sent you the item, that person's copy of the item may not be updated."

i closed outlook, killed a stuck outlook process, and restarted.

everything was fine.

xbox thief deadly shadows game save

· · (0) · ·

when I go to the save screen and save the game, it just hangs/locks up on the "Saving Game. Please do not turn off your xbox console."

solution:

You must set the date and time before playing otherwise you cannot save gave. In the xbox dash, boot machine to ms dash / or older dashboard that has time config screen, set date and time then load game.

octabjurt hardwall plans

· · (0) · ·

i'm starting to draw plans for a cross betwee the bjurt and a hexayurt. that is, adapting the hard sidewall covering that makes the hexayurt work well, to the framework of the 17' bjurt. the bjurts have 8 walls, so that's make an octabjurt really. well, it's a standard bjurt really, with sidewall materials from work done by the hexayurt folks.
