Netgate is offering a nice M0n0wall-based firewall for about $200. It seems to be a new item, because when the Soekris and WRAP boards went end-of-life, Netgate was forced to drop their M1n1wall products. It's nice to see the M1n1wall is back.

| Install Drupal on Signature Hosting Accounts
|
|
Here's a quick tip for installing Drupal on a Signature hosting account.
Follow the installation instructions on the Drupal site, but before you run the install script, modify your sites/default/settings.php file like this:
Fill in your database connection details in the following line:
$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/database';
Then fill the following line about the URL of your Drupal installation:
$base_url = '';
Save the settings.php file, then run the installer script.
I found this tip here.

| Desktopple
|
|
Desktopple is a cool donationware application for quickly clearing your desktop for a screenshot, presentation, or to just make you feel better about your lack of organization skills.
After launching Desktopple, you will see a new menu bar item that triggers a toggle from messy desktop to a clean slate. Messy to clean, clean to messy. It's fun just to see it work.
Try Desktopple and see what I mean.

| OS X Tiger More Sticky Menu Problems-- and a Solution!
|
|
After installing the latest OS X Tiger security update, the problems I was having on November 13 have returned. But this time, I think I have identified the problem after finding this thread on the Apple OS X Tiger discussion forum.
It turns out I had never installed the Logitech Control Center for my Logitech wireless laser mouse. I just assumed OS X didn't need the additonal software as the mouse had worked fine right out of the box for months.
After downloading and installing the current Logitech Control Center mouse drivers, the problems have gone away.

| How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP
|
|
I was having difficulty getting a friend's Windows XP laptop connected through his new BellSouth FastAccess DSL router, and after trying everything I knew, I threw in the towell and called BellSouth FastAccess technical support.
The strange thing was that the laptop could connect to the router, it just couldn't route through it. Using ipconfig, I could see that the gateway was incorrect, but I could not figure out why. The laptop was configured to get its network config from the DSL router using DHCP, but I could not see any settings on the router that would give a 192.168.0.1 gateway address (the correct gateway address is 192.168.1.254).
I spent about an hour on the phone with the BellSouth tech and I thought I had him stumped when he came back to the phone and said we could try one more thing. He walked me through the command to reset TCP/IP on Windows, and it worked. Here is the command we used:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
I did a little research and found this page which describes the very thing. Cool.
I need to give the BellSouth FastAccess techs more credit. They really do know their stuff.
