November 27th, 2007 · 2 Comments · General

Re: Blue Screen Stop Error - HELP!! (PCD5SRVC.pkms and Dell Support Center 2)

I find it strange that no one from Dell has addressed a root cause solution to Dell Support Center 2 which is the obvious cause to this problem.  Most users are uninstalling the software so their systems still work; pretty [...]

November 24th, 2007 · No Comments · General

My plan was to create a subversion repository on a Linux box(CentOS) to support the configuration files I use with a virtual machine running Groundwork Open Source. This took much longer than I expected. This procedure was more complicated than usual since the latest version of CentOS requires you to create a self-signed certificate the [...]

Resizing Animated GIFs

January 10th, 2007 · No Comments · General

Problem: The animated GIF is too large. In my case it was too wide for the sidebar of a blog I was updating.
Solution: Although you can resize the animated GIF using a variety of programs, such as GIMP, and at http://www.gifworks.com/index.php, I found that the highest quality reproduction was made by Photoshop. I used a realtively old [...]
