2010-04-13T11:14:00.001+02:00

OK, it's now official, we all need to learn Chinese. Time is coming when all IT technicians will need to communicate with a chinese IT vendor for some datasheets or other documentation.

As in the previous post on secure computing, this one also addresses an email from Yahoo... but it's actually NOT from Yahoo, it only seems to be. When in doubt, check the source code of the message. In Gmail, go to the arrow button next to the Reply button in the top row above the message, and select View Original. Here's the source code of my email (with some sensitive data replaced with X),

Mozilla Firefox speed tweaks

2009-09-16T11:21:00.006+02:00

Firefox is one of the top browsers out there, but it has this nasty habbit ever since it came out. It's reckless with the memory usage.

It's been so long since we started looking at the internet for jobs, and there are job scams just as long.

Fixing a non-responsive HP nx6110/6xxx series laptop

2009-03-03T22:51:00.021+01:00

The HP nx6110 is a great laptop but this product has one major fault: after a while, it starts to freeze up randomly. This problem has to do with the FSB chip which controls the mouse, keyboard and storage devices on the HP nx6110. To put it more simply, it is the part of the chipset controlling your peripherals, and with this defect, the HP nx6110 freezes up randomly and in some extreme cases

2008-11-07T17:51:00.008+01:00

After a long research online, and an unsuccessful attempt to start a good cooperation with the Canon local store, I was compelled to abandon my plan of getting a Canon MF4140 unit and continue my search for a good multifunctional unit. My requirements were that it should be a laser printer with scanner and a built in duplexing unit. For the requirements, the Canon MF4140 was perfect. BUT, the

Dell Inspiron 9100 thurough cleanup

2008-08-23T13:12:00.010+02:00

In this text I will explain the process of opening up the computer so that the CPU cooler and radiator can be cleaned up. This machine heats up like crazy. It is an impressive piece of equipment in all aspects. Its owner, Marcel, got it a five years ago, and he had quite an experience with it. Two years after the purchase, its hard drive died.

Black Hole WD

2008-02-26T08:32:00.007+01:00

These are some of the photos of a dead WD500AAKS, that took with it 450GB of stuff, and years of research on a PhD level. I attempted to swap the heads and PCB from a WD500AACS. The reason for this opinion is an information from a tutorial at hddguru.com. The tutorial stated that the fifth and sixth characters in the DCM code should be the same, and if they are, then the two hard drives use

Hard drive failure

2008-01-13T23:36:00.001+01:00

This summer, when we went to my father and mother in law, I decided to format my HD, reinstall everything and make an image of the freshly installed and tweaked system. On my late Toshiba Satellite M35x, this took about five hours. With the amount of experiments I do, it is not logical to waste so much time every time I mess up beyond repair, so I decided to immediately put the image of the HD on
