I meant to post this earlier but here it is

If you get this error “Request contains not implemented fields:remove”

replace remove with other options

from what i see its because of array.prototypes from javascript librarys

I tried to post the code here but was to hard to read so i posted it to my wiki

If your like me and use pulse to manage your eclipse installations. You will have found that with zend’s update to 6.1.1 from 6.1.0.

Your getting all kinds of dependency errors. Well i spent the last few hours trying to figure out what was causing it all of a sudden. After i figured out that zend has released an update. Which took longer then i would care to admit

Anyways here is the fix for those issues. You need to add to more update sites to which ever profile you are trying to add zend to.

http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/updates/3.0/
and
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/

Zend requires Webtools 3.0.3 and DSDP 3.0.2 and it appears that those aren’t on the main ganaymede update site. Because once i manually added those it installed and started up right away.

I hope this helps

I never knew this but in reading though the logitech support knowledge base i discovered that they recommend using a white or lighter surface as its easier for the laser to track and requires less battery power.

So i decided why not i’ll try it because i have been using my computer so much that i seem to have to recharge mine twice a day. My mouse is almost 3 years old so the battery is also on its way out.

So i just wrapped a piece of plain white printer paper around my mouse pad. And its true my mouse over the past week has only needed to be charged every day or two not 2-3x a day. So if you find yourself like me having to recharge so often that you find yourself with a backup mouse pluged in well your main one recharges. Try doing what i did and find a lighter surface or a piece of white paper. Also seems to be more responsive not that it was a issue before.

I don’t know the cause or reason i just know it works for me in about 1/3 of the time or less then it does just copying and with about 900megs less ram usage. Just rar up the files using winrar would probably work with winzip or any compression program. Copy that one file to your destination drive and then uncompress it.

300,000 files totaling 2.3gigs of all different files.

All different elipse projects and websites i work on.

Time to complete:

Winrar: 

• 11mins to compress using store method /w delete files option checked
• 1min give or take a few seconds to copy to destination drive - at 60MB/sec 
• 8mins to decompress

Vista:

• 2+ hours - The numbers varyed but it was only copying at 250-300K/sec

Ram Usage:

• Winrar - 56,244K 
• Vista - 900,000K and growing when i canceled

Now this isn’t a new computer granted in 2003 is was a monster system. It has dual 2.67hz xeon’s these are old p4’s no multi core nothing no sse3 and only 512 cache no 64bit. The system has 4gigs of ram but vista only lets me see 2.9ish. 

I have tried it with all different hard drives IDE and SATA always get the same results. Being that for some reason i can compress copy and decompress files faster on the same machine then i can just move/copy them using vista’s explorer. Thats pretty sad if i do say so myself and i don’t understand how it could be. Where the logic is in this granted i’m not using compression just storing the files. But that means i’m copying the files 3x with winrar and its WAY faster then vista’s explorer doing it once and using 850ish Megs of ram less then vista. Can anyone explain this to me?

So i’m just working on finshing up the interface to the myspace version of the media database

Been working on some myspace applications 1st being alcohol alchemy. You can put in a list of all the acohol you have in your home and it will produce a list of drinks you can make with what you have.

I setup a network boot server this week to help me with reinstalling operating systems and repairing broken ones. So i don’t have to worry about a cd or dvd being scratched.

I like it as of right now i can install Windows 2000/2003/XP over the network going to make it automated here shortly make it so it doesn’t as any questions. so i don’t have to click as much

I also set it up so i can do more then install i can boot right off the network and have no reason to install a harddrive or anything in that computer or use it to boot up well i’m repairing the main harddrive. But right now i have setup in the system.

1. Knoppix DVD 5.3.1 Release
2. Back Track 3 - USB Version plus my own addins - has the same menu as if i put the cd in
3. Ultimate Boot CD 4.11 - Has over a 100 Linux & Dos Programs and Boot Disks - I have Fully integrated there menu’s into mine so its not all changing on me. I like things to be one way and stay that way.
4. PXEKnife - Full Intergration like UBCD

I’m going to be adding these

1. CentOS 4/5 - Installable & Live Diskless Versions
2. Fedora 8 - Installable & Live Diskless Versions
3. Debian - Installable & Live Diskless Versions
4. GParted
5. PMagic
6. System Rescue CD
7. UBCD4WIN
8. Ubuntu - Installable & Live Diskless Versions
9. DSL - Damn Small Linux - Installable & Live Diskless Versions
10. Puppy Linux
11. Windowx XP - Live & Network Booted using AoE for storage
12. Windowx XP Media Center - Live & Network Booted using AoE for storage
13. Windows 2000 - More Versions - Server / Adv Server / Pro
14. Windows 2003 - More Versions - Web / Standard / Enterprise / Datacenter - SP2 & R2
15. Windows 2008 Server
16. Windowx Vista - Live & Network Booted using AoE for storage
