My pictures from yet another trip to Asia are now up, check them out.

If you use the wonderful tool Synergy to share your keyboard and mouse over the network, you have probably noticed that starting with Windows Vista and now Windows 7 that setting the client to run “When Computer Starts” no longer works like it did with XP. Unfortunately, this project has become unmaintained so I updated the source code to work with Vista/Win7 now. Note, setting the Synergy Server to run “When Computer Starts” is still broken and will cause your mouse to freeze, maybe I’ll look into that bug too.

Here’s the fix. Unzip and replace the three files into your Synergy folder under Program Files. This is distributed under the current license of Synergy.
Download: Synergy.zip

Also, check out Synergy+ as they are now working on this project.

Source code: diff of changes to Synergy2 tag 1.3.1.

Technoblable

Some people think that Synergy stopped working as a service, i.e. not being able to type in your user name and password at the log in prompt, because Vista had created a better security model. This is just not correct (more…)

I did a small mod to my car, check it out on my page Car Radio.

I made another plugin for WordPress called Rotating Posts. This plugin allows you to easily create customizable rotating posts like those seen on popular news sites.

It only took me 2+ weeks, but my trip pictures are now up. Enjoy!

I coded a plugin for WordPress called iCal for Events Calendar. It creates an iCalendar feed for the Events Calendar plugin.
