knoppix remastering virtual appliance

Posted on 29 January 201627 January 2016 By antipaucity

In preparation for an upcoming post on remastering Knoppix, I have made a VirtualBox virtual appliance based on the Knoppix v7.6.1 DVD all set for remastering. /dev/sda holds the raw files. /dev/sdb1 is a swap partition. To use the appliance, download the Knoppix 7.6.1 DVD. You’ll need a boot environment for remastering, and Knoppix has…

haiku appliance

Posted on 27 January 201621 January 2016 By antipaucity

I have been a fan of Haiku for years – and BeOS since way back in the 90s. I run a Haiku mirror, and try to pay attention to the project’s updates. Today I am making available a Haiku-OS r1 alpha 4.1 virtual appliance! Download it from me here (created in VirtualBox, but in .ova format, so…

sap bapis and hp oo

Posted on 26 January 201626 January 2016 By antipaucity 1 Comment on sap bapis and hp oo

Couple quick notes: SAP is not designed for automated / programmatic access – their “BAPI”, or binary application programming interface, requires additional licensing beyond just the product to use I made the naive assumption that a “BAPI” was like a WSDL – and it is, but it’s proprietary, not open (and it’s binary, not plaintext XML)…

enable virtualization in the bios of your lenovo t450s

Posted on 25 January 201620 January 2016 By antipaucity 1 Comment on enable virtualization in the bios of your lenovo t450s

If you install VirtualBox, like I did last week, [at least] under Windows 10, and you have not gone into the BIOS ahead of time to enable virtualization, you will be limited to 32-bit guest OSes. Enable virtualization, and the 64-bit options become available. Not sure why you have to enable the hardware virtualization extensions to get…

lock screen slideshow in windows 10

Posted on 23 January 201620 January 2016 By antipaucity

In similar fashion to what I wrote about for OS X last year, and spurred by this article from Microsoft, here is my brief guide for doing the same on Windows 10. Click your Notifications button near the clock. Now click All Settings And you’ll see this Click Personalization, then Lock Screen. Select “Slideshow” from the…

burger king “coffee” isn’t

Posted on 22 January 201618 January 2016 By antipaucity

I went through a Burger King drive-thru recently on my way to a customer office to get a drink. It being relatively early in the day, I thought getting a coffee would be a Good Ideaâ„¢. It was not. It was bad. Really bad. It was coffee-colored and -scented hot water. I cannot recall the…

i’m a medium plogger now*

Posted on 21 January 201621 January 2016 By antipaucity

(*Though most people would call me an XXXL blogger.) Following in the steps of Dave Winer, I am now plogging (sorta) on Medium. And, like Mr Winer, I’m doing it via IFTTT (though not via RSS, I’m doing it via the WordPress channel). If you’d like to do the same, use this IFTTT recipe.
