Goodbye Sun Microsystems…

It’s too bad to see Sun go, and with all other Oracle buyouts I’m sure not much will be left of the original idea of Sun. It’s sad to see, but after seeing Sun as the premier UNIX envorinment in the late […]

My A-10 Foamie and F4U Corsair
Here’s my new A-10 warthog just completed and the F4-U Corsair I’m building. The A-10 is my first ducted fan plane so I’m excited to see how it does. I expect to “mod” it for Colorado’s altitude. I got the A-10 kit from NitroPlanes and while the parts are a bit cheezy, the foam construction is very good. I’m also […]

Fixing the command “man” in OSX
The command ‘man’ in terminal has an annoying feature: it clears the screen on exit. So if you find a command line switch you want to try, when you exit man the detail all disappears. To correct this, change the following line in /private/etc/man.conf: PAGER /usr/bin/less -is to PAGER /usr/bin/less -isX

Bold vs iPhone
After buying both the iPhone and iPhone 3g, I became frustrated with the typical iPhone problems – spotty 3g network access, no cut-n-paste, etc. As a result, I was excited about the Bold and got one right when it came out.

Using system wide socks proxy with iphone tethering
Recently I discovered a program called proxifier, a OS X Leopard program that will send all network traffic through a defined socks proxy server. So instead of defining the proxy settings in each individual program, simply turn on proxifier and redirect all the network traffic. proxifier is the same thing as WideCap or FreeCap in the Windows side. tsocks for […]
