Let’s say you have a VHD file you’d like to access while in Linux without attaching it to a Virtual Machine. There are many reasons you might like to do this, but it’s not immediately obvious how to do so with Linux. There are two ways I know of: You can use vmware-mount provided by [...]

Typing this from Deepest Sender (while listening to a remixes of Septette for the Dead Princess) It’s kinda nice and exactly what I was looking for – An extension for Firefox that allows you to post directly to your blog. (Of course you need XML RPC turned on to do so.) I note that it [...]

Gah! I finaly got my Steam-purchased copy of BioShock to work. If you’re using Windows Vista or Windows 7 and use a Realtek High-Definition Audio device and Bioshock crashes at startup: update your driver to the latest version from Realtek’s site.

I am exceedingly lazy, so I made a one-liner random password generator. How it works: Creates an md5 from a random string, packs this into binary representation, base64 encodes that, strips some of the characters used by base64 (most importantly the = that are typically at the end), and then limits it to 8 characters.

I’ve created a new project, which I’ve dubbed the touhou music database. Well, it doesn’t actually contain the raw MP3 files or anything, however. I collected the track listings of over 1200 touhou music/remix albums and entered them into a database. Given the name of a song, you can find what albums it can be [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been working on a pretty large project that has eaten much of my time. Posting should be a little more regular in a couple of weeks, and I should plop in some new stuff soon.
