Do you ever really get the advertised bandwidth from your ISP? Read on to see how far off Videotron’s advertised bandwidth was compared to what I actually got.
Three weeks ago, my ISP Videotron called one day as a courtesy call, to see if everything was okay. I told him over all yes, I am happy [...]

A couple of days ago I promised to tell you where to find my first real WordPress plugin. Well here it is. Simply head on over to the brand spanking new Find Mac Stuff website. Quoted from the site:
Ever been frustrated trying to find the exact home page for a certain Mac-related product, be it [...]

Just a quick entry here. I keep forgetting how to reset a mysql slave server from the master, without disrupting the operations on the master server. Something silly that doesn't stick in my head, so I am putting here for future use:
If you have Server A with the master, and Server B with the slave, [...]

Magic! That is what my plugin does. Or at least magic to some. To others, it just gives some neat functionality. For the longest time I used a category plugin over here at zeligplanet. It worked really well, but had a few shortcomings I didn't like. That is what all these plug-ins are about really. [...]

A few months ago I installed AuthImage on one of my WordPress installations and only just got around to getting it fully up and running. Don't get me wrong, it is a brilliant little plug-in, but it does require a wee bit of manual tweaking in your code.
You can find AuthImage here if you are [...]

All of my Wordpress installations, about 5 last count, [...]

I just got a PalmOne Treo650 with my Bell account here in Quebec. Shortly after I got my new phone I started getting the error 'Error 0X7301' whenever I tried to connect to the internet.
After some searching on google, I came across the rather simple and straight forward solution. Here is the site I [...]

Here is a quick little how-to for formatting a second drive on RHEL4 Linux. A great deal of credit goes to http://www.eth0.us/mount on this.
This how-to is based on my machine which has two 80GB scsi drives which we can see by doing the following:
PLAIN TEXT
CODE:

#cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Attached devices:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00

This story is about the 'Deferred: 452 try later' error message when sending email to Videotron.ca mail servers.
A couple of weeks ago I started having terrible problems with email sent from my server to any Videotron email account. I checked, double checked, triple checked my server for a mistake in my config files. Nothing bad [...]

The more I know how my server is feeling, the better off I am. Using apache’s built in Server Status is just one such tool that will let you see how apache is handling it’s load. The server status will tell you the server load, uptime, requests per second, total workers, available workers, and every [...]
