🪟 XFConfig …

- 2 minute read.

Well I have included my XFConfig that I use for my dual display setup.

🖥️ A couple of things.

I thought after all these random Life posts, I would post some tech junk. I just got dual displays working on my box @ work… Granted, the second display is next to worthless as its runs on a shitty 8meg S3 Trio card; it lets me do 1024×768 15bit. Anything higher than that will either

  1. Not display anything
  2. Locks up the computer to the point where I have to unplug the box.

All in all, it sucks and is slow as shit, but hell, it’s nice having my IM’s all on one monitor. Now, to get my FM/TV Tuner working, I might be able to make use of the second display.

I will post the XFConfig-4 file when I get back to work, just in case someone needs it for reference.

👨🏻‍💻 Server Move

- 1 minute read.

Last night, I finished moving over all the sites from my old provider to Liquid Web. Everything looks like it copied over just fine, and then I moved the DNS. Many sites have been completed already, and things seem to work fine… Now, I need to improve my Support/Sales system a bit, and things can take off.

🖨️ Netgear PS110 Printer Server and OS X

- 1 minute read.

I don’t know how many people have this setup, but if you do, this will help you out. This should give you at least the general knowledge needed to get it all working.

This is the method I used on OS X 10.4 with ALL the printer drivers installed.

  1. Connect the Printers to the Print Server (this should be a given)
  2. Go to http://127.0.0.1:631 to access the built-in CUPS administration tool in OS X. This service shuold already be running so there is no need to start it.
  3. Select “Add Printer”
  4. You should be able to put in a “Name”, “Location”, “Description” on the “Name” it can’t contain spaces, and all around this information isn’t really important.
  5. The PS110 uses LPD, so select LPD printing and enter the URL as “lpd://192.168.1.7/P1”, of course you need to replace the IP address with the IP of your print server.
    And the part where it says P2, that is the port on the print server that the printer is hooked to. eg Printer 1 = P1, Printer 2=P2.
  6. After this step, you will be prompted for the printer brand and then given a chance to select the correct driver.
    If you don’t have the correct driver, you may have to download the driver from the OEM or pick the one that fits it the best.
  7. Print a test page. And see if you got it working right. Also, after you have done all this, it should be in your System Preferences under “Print & Fax.”

I hope this helps some people, as it took me a few tries right off the bat to get it working with OS X.
