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/community/forums/topic.dml?id=263658&t=1245331709&page=1#comment2863762 and google for the find)

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!) Some time on your hands Process: Connect to SSH of your OctoPi Update your repositories pi@octopi: ~ $ sudo apt-get update Install avrdude pi@octopi: ~ $ apt-get install avrdude Find the location of avrdude pi@octopi: ~ $ which avrdude /usr/bin/avrdude Download the firmware file ( Marlin-Ai3M-v1.4.6-stock_drivers.hex ) from here (https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-Ai3M on the releases page) Install the Firmware Update plugin module on your Octopi if you have not already done so Click on the Wrench Icon at the top right Click on " Plugin Manager " Click on " Get More " Search for " Firmware Updater "  Install ...

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) ...
