Wink Shortcuts on Android Wear

Chris Driscoll August 29, 2019 0

I recently picked up a Fossil Gen 5 watch, having been a Pebble wearer for several years. One of the biggest reasons I moved from Pebble to Android Wear was that the Wink Shortcuts app for Pebble stopped working within the last several months, presumably with Wink deprecating some APIs. I really didn’t like pulling […]

Synology and *.clients.your-server.de

Chris Driscoll June 19, 2018 0

Recently I’ve been noticing a lot of consistent traffic coming from my Synology (well, Xpenology) virtual machine destined for a clients.your-server.de domain.  This was somewhat concerning as some cursory Google searches for this domain resulted in several posts about folks associating this domain with malware and/or bots.  Uh oh. I use pfSense as my router […]

Firefox – Black Background on New (blank) Tab Page

Chris Driscoll May 9, 2015 9

Opening a new tab in Firefox in a dark room can be a blinding experience.  Luckily, there’s an easy way to make the ‘New Tab’ page background black (or any color you want, really). To start, click on the Firefox menu button, go to ‘Help’, and then click on ‘Troubleshooting Information’.  You should get a […]

Rise of the Witch King Options.ini Creator Tool

Chris Driscoll March 15, 2015 0

About every three months some friends and I have a LAN party and one of the games that’s always fun to play is Battle for Middle Earth II: Rise of the Witch King (long enough title?). Unfortunately, it’s one of those games that we only play at a LAN so once everyone goes home it […]

MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Artifacts When Overclocking

Chris Driscoll February 20, 2015 5

This post pertains to the 09SB version of the MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G video card, but may also apply to other models. You can find your model on the video card’s box as part of the serial number. I don’t think I had my GTX 970 installed for more than 5 minutes before I […]

Android X86 – No Mouse Cursor in Oracle VirtualBox

Chris Driscoll January 26, 2015 13

Having the Android OS accessible through a virtual machine (VM) is super-handy.  My reason for setting up an Android VM is that it’s a relatively easy way to get the Google Authenticator running on a desktop device, rather than my phone. One snag I ran into after getting the Android OS installed on the VM […]

Get the Quake 3 hitsound for Team Fortress 2

Chris Driscoll July 18, 2014 1

If you’re like me, you lived and breathed Quake 3 during its hayday.  Hearing that satisfying plunk sound after launching a couple grenades around a corner was a good feeling. I’ve recently gotten back into Team Fortress 2 after a long hiatus and found myself not liking the default ding hitsound that TF2 uses.  I […]

So you want to stop receiving mail from Dish Network?

Chris Driscoll May 6, 2014 14

Occasional junk mail can be a minor annoyance, but when you receive 1-2 letters a week from a service provider, it’s ridiculous and wasteful. This was my case with Dish Network.  I previously had – and canceled – their service at an old address, but the disease that is Dish promotional mail followed me to […]

No accepted shares with your Gridseed 5 chip ASIC miner?

Chris Driscoll May 4, 2014 0

Are you the proud owner of one of these little Gridseed 5-chip ASIC miners?  They sure are neat and seem fairly efficient, but you might’ve run into a problem where it looks like they’re getting work but shares are not getting accepted.  One thing to keep in mind is that even though you might have […]
