Logitech G15 and WinAmp

While fumbling around with the G15 gaming keyboard I found a new patch (1.04) that made my LCD wake up after sleep. Lets hope this actually works. . .

I also snagged Ray's G15 WinAmp plugin from here: http://www.g15-applets.de/download.php?id=88 very nice utility, you can navigate your playlist from the LCD panel Very cool.

While I was at it, I figured I'd get the media keys working with WinAmp, and found that by default WinAmp has the media keys disabled.

Launch Winamp
Select Options -> Preferences...
Under General Preferences select Global Hotkeys
Place a check in the box labeled Enabled
Click the Close button

Webex Support with Windows 7

So I decided to break down and try out this new fan dangled Windows 7 (Build 7100), I must admit it does *look* nice. As I use WebEx for support purposes, I happily then fired up IE and tried to start a support session. This didn't work. :(  After the fact, I found some blogs that describe how to run IE as administrator (Shift + control), but for some users this didn't fix it.  For me, I tried to fire up WebEx in Opera 10 beta and that led me to a direct download of atscie.msi (For me, this was https:// .webex.com/sc<#####>/supportcenter/site/download.do?siteurl= &Rnd<####>=<####>&type=direct&file= an 8667KB file).  After firing up IE in Windows 7, all was well. A happy side note, after installing Java 6, then realizing that Opera doesn't like the new java installation directory, I copied the msvcr71.dll from /Program Files/Java/jre6/bin to /Windows/System32 it was happy (But still didn't work).  (Thanks to http://my.opera.com/communit...

Upgrading to the Marlin firmware on the Anycubic Mega S

 I recently started to try to use my 3D Printer again, and I decided to upgrade the firmware to the newest version of Marlin to use the mesh levelling system. Pre-requisites Raspberry Pi with Octopi Installed Stock (IE: No hardware upgrades!) Anycubic Mega-S Atmega 2560 board (I would open the unit up and check the board yourself to make sure!)

Installing TinyCore 8x Linux to the Hard Drive via Command Line

Most of this can be found here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/install_manual.html but I made this document for the following reasons: 1) Installation is incorrect (wrong files specified) 2) Installation instructions specific to VMware 3) using fdisk instead of installing and using cfdisk (smaller footprint) 4) Not running as root (Yes, I understand the security implications here are heavily mitigated) On a side note I also found some parts confusing (like the explaining of the hd0 nomenclature in grub) Prerequisites: - VM with IDE disk (NOT SCSI) - 1 CPU - 256 MB of RAM - 100MB of space You can install with SCSI, but the process is labour intensive, for that reason, I find it easier to use an IDE disk (But we can load the SCSI driver later, so we can still use it as a helper for other VM purposes!) 1) Download the ISO from the following location: http://www.tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86/release/Core-current.iso 2) Upload the ISO to the ESXi host 3) ...
