Monitor Upgrades

If you check over the My Computers page, you’ll see that the monitors attached to Eclipse have changed (more specifically, most of the systems have changed!). I’ve made a few upgrades here and there, but the best one from a usability point of view has been the changes in my monitor setups.

Hamachi as a service - now free!

So… I figured I’d post an update (even if it is a few months old) regarding Hamachi and running it as a service under Windows. LogMeIn updated their licencing to a commercial/non-commercial system as opposed to the basic/premium setup. There’s no difference in functionality now, but it’s assumed that if you use Hamachi in a commercial environment, you’ll pay for it.

That being said, it’s quite easy to run Hamachi as a service now.  Click on the gear in the main Hamachi window and select “Preferences” to bring up the configuration options. Under “System”, click on the button that says “Run Hamachi as a Windows Service”. It will restart Hamachi, and voila!

Server move complete!

If you’re seeing this (and the hideous default Wordpress theme) then it means that the site is being hosted from its new home! Hooray!

Server Moves… again

Just so everyone is aware, there might be some downtime of this main frontpage in the near future. I’m in the process of moving my domain to my personal registrar, and the site itself to a VPS hosted by my friend jcarle (thanks!). I’m hoping the overall transition will be relatively smooth and there won’t be too many hiccups along the way.

Microsoft Zune has stopped working – SOLVED!

A few days ago, I decided to update my Zune with some new music I had got. When I double-clicked on the desktop icon, there was no sign of the Zune window, and instead given a friendly message saying “Microsoft Zune has stopped working”. Clearly, this was a problem.
