After I upgraded my Macbook to OSX Lion, my NTFS-formatted USB drive would no longer mount... GREAT! %$#@ I use an free open source NTFS driver for Mac called NTFS-3G ( You can get it from SourceForge here - grab the dmg file). However NTFS-3G is built on top of a piece of software called MacFuse (part of the NTFS-3G installation)  and unfortunately MacFuse only provides a 32-bit interface, whereas OSX Lion has a 64-bit kernel. I found the explanation of the problem here . I was able to solve the problem when I came across a little gem on this site: http://www.fatframe.com/2011/07/25/macfuse-issues-mac-os-10-7-lion This guy has posted a custom compiled version of MacFuse, compiled for 64-bit. I downloaded this guy's custom compiled version (look for the link to the zip file half way down the page) and just installed it straight on top of my existing MacFuse version. Then rebooted. It solved my problem! I can now mount my NTFS USB drive and I have read/writ...

A freind of mine made a comment (on Facebook) that he thinks social sites are "a fashion" and won't be where we get all out info from. He's right I guess (or is he?) but the point is that this got me thinking about where social media is really headed. We all know things chop and change at an incredible rate here on planet internet(/webz/whateverz) and tomorrow's Facebook and Google+ sure ain't gonna look much like it does today (well litterally it will, but not figuratively.. doh, you know what I mean ;-). What I envisage is the following. Our actual social profile will be a metaphorical cloud that hovers above all the social sites we interact with, e.g. Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ (to take these as examples). What on earth am I talking about? Well let's look at it from my personal perspective as a social media user. Why do I use social media? To interact with others of course. Other people, other brands, other celebrities (maybe). Do I r...

Do the following: Go to "About This Mac" (top left under the Apple logo) Click "More Info..." Choose "AirPort" on the left-hand side (in the "Network" section) On the right-hand side look for "Card Type = AirPort Extreme" The "Firmware Version" underneath should indicate what chipset you have. E.g. "Broadcom BCM43xx"  Hopefully this will help you out. Maybe you want to know this because you're hoping to use Aircrack to do some WEP cracking :). This page lists compatible aircrack chipsets .

This is a quick heads up for Blogger bloggers that may have missed it. Blogger now lets you easily switch on an option to present your mobile readers with a special mobile formatted version of your blog. If you've ever read stuff on a mobile device that's not formatted for mobile you'll know how annoying it can sometimes be navigating a non mobiel-friendly web site, even with mobile browsers like Opera doing a good job at solving that issue. To switch on the mobile template view in Blogger, just Go to your blog's "Settings" tab Click "Email & Mobile" Then where it says "Mobile Template (beta)" choose "Yes" and your done! You can hit the "Mobile Preview" button to see what your blog will look like too.
