			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I did a fresh install of VirtualBox on my Mac Book Pro and then install Windows XP. Once installed I noticed that there was no network card showing up under &#8220;Network Connections&#8221;. I checked out the Device Manager and found that the network card was showing up with now driver. After searching around, I figured out that the AMD PCNET III driver seems to work out of the box. If you power down the machine and change the adapter, it should detect and install properly and you&#8217;re good to go.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I needed to fix up a Ubuntu install that went wacko. I guess a couple of partitions weren&#8217;t deleted and left, and a new partition layout was created beside the empty ones. Let&#8217;s just say, some space needed to be reclaimed.</p>
<p>1. I downloaed GParted, and fixed up my partitions so that I deleted the empty useless ones, and increased the root partition.</p>
<p>Once this was completed, I needed to update Grub to change the drive to boot off.</p>
<p>2. So I Mounted /dev/sda5 to /mnt/sda5 and then proceeded to mount /proc and /dev so that I could access the partitions in my chroot enviroment. Then I ran Grub and viola.</p>
<blockquote><p>mkdir /mnt/sda5<br />
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5<br />
mount -t proc /proc /mnt/sda5/proc<br />
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/sda5/dev<br />
chroot /mnt/sda5<br />
grub</p></blockquote>
<p>Then within grub type the following.</p>
<blockquote><p>find /boot/grub/stage1</p></blockquote>
<p>Which will then return something along the lines of &#8220;(hd0,4)&#8221;. Then you will need to enter this value in Grub.</p>
<blockquote><p>root(hd0,4)<br />
setup(hd0)</p></blockquote>
<p>Done!</p>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<blockquote></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I&#8217;ve been getting emails address to this guy named Josh Trask. It&#8217;s been going on for over a year, and I&#8217;ve had this email for a long time, I think it was 2005 when I activated my email account.</p>
<p>Anyways. I&#8217;ve been getting these emails for the last year or so. I&#8217;ve been replying to the ones that actual humans receive and letting them know they have the wrong email. I also tell them to tell Josh Trask that hes giving out the wrong email. Typically I don&#8217;t get a response.</p>
<p>Today, I think his wife/gf emailed me and in the Subject it said &#8220;Thinking about you&#8221;. Which was kinda funny. So I told her to tell Josh not to give out this email to his friends because it isn&#8217;t his.</p>
<p>But what really gets my button is the SPAM this guy signs up for. Well, some of it is just silly stuff that I personally don&#8217;t sign up for.</p>
<p>I though he just signed up for MySpace because now I&#8217;m getting all this MySpace Junk. So I looked into it and I found out that this guy us using  &#8220;j.trask@gmail.com&#8221; which is totally messed up.But this isn&#8217;t Josh, this is Justin Trask.</p>
<p>Anyways, if you click show details in Gmail, you will see a (Yes this is You, Learn More). Which links to this.</p>
<p>http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;ctx=mail&amp;answer=10313#</p>
<p>So what do I do? I cancel his myspace account, he had no friends anyways. But I don&#8217;t understand why there was no email confirmation to opt in. That&#8217;s really messed up. Not only that, but if I want to unsubscribe I have to login and cancel the subscription that I didn&#8217;t even confirm to receive. LAME!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One idea that has come up and is really handy, is creating a general support user so that you can login to machines and have Administrative rights to that machine. We have many groups, and each group has a Desktop Admin group that we add people to who need Administrative access. But we also use it to remove people that seem to abuse it.</p>
<p>Instead of manually adding the groups one by one, you can use dsquery and dsmod. You simple do a query to find the groups that you&#8217;ve created. In this example we&#8217;re looking for anything that ends in &#8220;Desktop Admin&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>dsquery group domainroot -name &#8220;*Desktop Admin&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Which returns all of the groups we need. Next step is to take the Global Desktop Admin group and add it to all of these groups. This is simple with dsmod:</p>
<blockquote><p>dsquery group domainroot -name &#8220;*Desktop Admin&#8221; | dsmod group -addmbr &#8220;CN=Global Desktop Admin,OU=Network Admin,OU=Groups,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LAN&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Voila! Done.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was doing some web design work for a friend/customer of mine, and he had a Web Hosting account with a company that used cPanel. I&#8217;ve used cPanel before, I&#8217;ve dabbled in it and fixed problems with it. But never really used it extensively as a client so to speak. Anyways, included in the customers Web Hosting package was 20 Addon Domains. What are &#8220;Addon Domains&#8221;?</p>
<p>http://cpanelguide.net/addon.php</p>
<p>Basically it allows you to run mutiple websites off your single account/domain name. Brilliant idea, if it was done properly. When you add an Addon Domain, it creates a folder in your main sites public_html folder, typically its name is that of your domain name. Lets just say that my customer has two domain names, the main one bob.com and an additional one jill.com</p>
<p>The customer creates jill.com as an Addon Domain, all is swell. Until they find out they can access the addon domain at &#8220;jill.com&#8221; and &#8220;bob.com/jill.com&#8221;. Why is this bad? Well google will see it as duplicate conent and your site will either never get indexed or have funky SEO results.</p>
<p>How do you fix it? Change the root directory to not be placed inside the public_html folder and viola, no duplicate content. Also make sure to edit the subdomain to forward to the correct URL as well or more duplicate content will exist.</p>
