  • iMac Core Duo Video Problems

    “It seems like some of the new intel iMacs are showing some “Rev A” growing pains. Certain models are showing graphical errors during common tasks.

  • PC in a bottle

    They used to hide bottles inside books once. Times sure have changed…

    “I love to tinker with hardware etc. so I wanted to make something quite unique for a case. I have seen many nice and creative cases before but none of them were made out of a bottle. In November I bought an industrial 3.5” SBC board (with Socket370). For the project I selected a 1.5 litre Ballantine’s bottle for case. That was the proper size and shape for the task at hand.”

  • “Jäsenten käyttöön on otettu uusi tietokantapalvelin. Uusi järjestely vaatii jäsenien käyttämiin www-sovelluksiin pieniä muutoksia. Tähän muutokseen on varattu kaksi viikkoa siirtymäaikaa.

    Nykyisen “localhost”-osoitteen tilalle täytyy muuttaa “db1.kapsi.fi” (ilman heittomerkkejä). Helpdesk on laatinut asiasta pikaohjeen, jossa neuvotaan osoitteen muutos www-ohjelmiin.”

    Toteutin tämän muutoksen äsken kaikkiin WordPressillä toimiviin blogeihini (pikaohjeen mukaisesti, vaikken sitä siinä vaiheessa vielä ollutkaan lukenut), ja kaikki näyttää toimivan ihan hyvin.
