After enabling the wordpress WP Super Cache and the HTML Minifi plugin for the WP Super Cache plugin (That's right, a plugin for a plugin) I get empty pages on /localhost/wp/ (Or https://www.microdevsys.com/wp/) which obviously isn't so good for the readers.  So i download the plugin to my local server LAMP installation and test it […]

Sure enough we baught outselves a Nexus 7 tablet and of course what's a PC, miniature or not, without some sort of web access.  My router is setup with MAC address filtering which prevented initial connection unless I get the MAC address of the device to begin with.  Unfortunately, Nexus 7 won't let you into […]

Google, I love that company but sometimes it puzzles me.  I'll search for: ckeditor links.js getSelectedLink but google returns this link: http://ckeditor.com/forums/CKEditor-3.x/Tutorial-how-modify-Links-Plugin-link-cms-pages (HINT: There's nothing on that page for getSelectedLink, not even in the source code of the page) but what I needed was: https://gist.github.com/3940239 but that doesn't appear in any of the search results.  […]

To list the contents of an uninstalled RPM package issue one of the following: # less kmod-compat-wireless-3.5.4-1.sn.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm 2>&1|grep 9170 or issue: # rpm -qpl kmod-compat-wireless-3.5.4-1.sn.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

If you want to only download an RPM package without installing it, you'll need to install the yum-plugin-downloadonly.noarch package first.  This will then add options to the yum command allowing only downloads of RPM packages without installing them.    This is particularly handy if you just want to download a package for extracting single files […]

There's several ways to determine the ksh version.  All will print different results depending on the KSH you're running.  Here are the methods for finding the versions:

While testing the NIC connectivity and speed for my HTPC / Home Backup system, I get this unpleasant surprise.  Needles to say the issue was really due to the high transfer speeds on my 1GB/s network that that intel card has appeared to have a bit of difficulty with.  The difficulty has now been resolved […]
