set date and time in open firmware

March 11th, 2008

Reboot your machine, and hold Command-Option-O-F during the boot process to access the Open Firmware prompt. Most likely, the real time clock is aliased in OF as rtc, so the command is this:

decimal dev rtc sec min hour day month year set-time

So to set the clock to 10 seconds past 11:15PM on December 31st, 2005, the command would be:

decimal dev rtc 10 15 23 31 12 2005 set-time

The Open Firmware prompt should type ok after this, and you can then boot the Mac by typing mac-boot and pressing Enter.

my Plan for Humanity v0.1

December 18th, 2007

there will not be peace on earth without population control.
any ‘crime against humanity’ or ‘dishonest action’ (outside of non-human harm spying/curiosity) will be followed through with cryogenics (ex: demolition man
there will be no innocent until proven guilty. PROOF will be presented before a committee. if proven dishonest or otherwise, frozen, if accusers are unable to prove said acts, they will be frozen.
There will be rigorous testing to prove your able to integrate, Logic and Intellect. Otherwise physical ability’s will be tested. There will be no second chances on the tests. you will have 16 yrs to prepare. If you fail, you will be frozen.

decisions..

December 10th, 2007

ok. another ‘plan on doing this’ post.. i’ve been going thru all my old backup CD’s and found a few oldies that i really liked and want to re-implement.. such as the windows welcome screen. ;) i was also debating starting my old WinXP window again using Greybox (url : http://orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox/),.. so a welcome screen for the layout and the WinXP toy in a greybox just for kicks.. but thats just a thought.. i also want to start a ‘finance/money’ and ‘linux’ sub sections of the site.. i might try working on some wordpress/sqlite hacking also, as im planning on writing a little more about each.. gonna also try and do daily/weekly screenshots again, its always fun to watch the evolution of preference in the theme/wallpaper desktop arena.. anyways.. im outta here for now.. back to work..

Back on linux again…

November 20th, 2007

didnt get bored of Vista per se, just got to the point i felt that if i continued using it further it might start to degrade.. LoL.. so i got off my high horse and re installed Ubuntu on the second HD and here i am!! It’s kinda odd thou that i dont really care if i use windows or linux, the only ‘downside’ to linux is that i have to use wine for WoW (if i so decide that i wanna re-install it and play), where the only downside of vista is that i might mess it up.. where its harder to recover. :-/ so until i find an awesome way to clone a 60gb partition and can restore in the flick of the wrist, i’ll remain here on linux.. ;-) althou im sure i can do some weird ‘man dd’ magic..
and on the ’sn0n’ side of things, and yea, i know, i say this every 6 months or so.. im actually SERIOUSLY contemplating throwing it all out, and moving over to my VPS for sn0n.com (all the sites i host would stay on RapidVPS), and running some special magic over there. another fake new start. LoL. i probably wont do it. but i was also debating setting up - rob.sn0n.com (for a blog) and images.sn0n.com (for a image gallery) and a misc.sn0n.com for the random uploads. anyways, time for getting ready for bed.

Wellsfargo.com supports Firefox

November 10th, 2007

forgot to mention that as of the 7th, wellsfargo.com officially supports firefox as a supported browser.
previously we had to tell customers that firefox wasnt supported and to use a supported browser, this personally irked me because netscape was supported (which uses firefox’s rendering engine) so i personally knew that all problems could basically be resolved by deleting history in firefox. but by telling people firefox isnt supported, was counter productive to me personally telling everyone to use it, but basically dont use it on wellsfargo.com. problem solved!

October 21st, 2007

… and error..

today i lost a friend..

September 23rd, 2007


Linked to my first post about the lil guy.. he was a good cat, very warm and friendly and always there rubbing on your legs when you were anywhere near the kitchen.. i remember first seeing him in pets4all in brentwood, i fell in love in a second, and decided i wanted to give the lil guy a home.. and he loved us all soo much.. just after i saw him, we had to go home, and tell C’s mom that i found a cat i wanted, she was absolutely against it, since there were already soo many animals in the house.. at that time there was Bertha (our black bitch), Ollie (the prince), Kitten (the orange bitch), and for dogs there was Bubba, Beija, Pooka… but i got him anyways.. and after about a week everyone loved him.. this is also about the time we got simon (slimey).. who we found on the side of the road out in brentwood (in the country, high traffic road) with the intention of giving him to a animal shelter,.. but C and little Erin fell in love with the slimey.. and when simon and romeo met, they became the best of friends.. always playing and wrestling.. for the first month we had him, romeo slept with me everynight… much to the disappointment of bertha.. who before he came along slept with me every night.. when we moved we had to leave both romeo and simon behind, and romeo instantly attached himself to kelly.. i dont want to write anymore..
2005/04/16* - 2007/11/23 RIP Romeo.
* - (estimate, he was about 2 months when we got him)

Promotions and being a good samaritan

August 26th, 2007

so i gotta “promotion” at work, im now a CSR-3, which means i make a little more and get off the phone more.. basically, but it also means i take customer complaints and handle complex situations and never tell a customer no..

and then today, im getting off the freeway driving down the road, and there is this overly large piece of cardboard blocking one lane that in the short time i was on the road (from the freeway to it, about 35 seconds) I witnessed 4 cars just switch lanes to avoid it, so i put on my hazard lights and stop in the road just in front of it, get out, and throw it towards the sidewalk, walking back to my car a man and his wife started clapping and calling me a good samaritan, that was a nice feeling, dont see much kindness these days, it was appreciated..

Fuck ActiveSync

August 22nd, 2007

useless piece of shit deleted all my contacts on my t-mo wing, now i have NOTHING. the entire purpose of syncing the wing with the desktop is so i dont lose contacts, and the fucking thing goes and deletes them all, since outlook has no contacts, tell me how this is a feature microsoft? you fucking morons.

p.s. anyone that wants me to contact them, email me your info (are.zee.dee) (gmail.com)

T-Mobile Customer Service

August 6th, 2007

How is it that they attempt to troubleshoot my phone when they dont have access to the phone im using, nor have ever even used windows mobile or OZ Messenger for windows mobile?

The rep was asking me, “do you get this alert on your desktop when using AOL Instant Messenger?”
My reply was, “do you know the US Dollar value of the yen? cuz thats about as related to what im asking as what your asking”

Some background: T-Mobile, Wing, Windows Mobile 6, AIM, Customer Service, Errors, Complaints, Review

Breakdown of my problem, and there are two three.
1) Whenever i try to have a conversation with Katie or Colleen (co-workers) on AIM it opens another conversation stating that they are not online to their username (for example, mine would be Robert.Z.Douglas@wellsfargo.com, new conversation would be with ‘Robert.Z.Douglas’), but the @wellsfargo.com conversation would work, aside from notifications that im getting messages that they are not online (to the other conversation)..
did i say that right?

2) There is a persistent notification in the Calendar Alerts Portion of the bottom taskbar, stating “Notification” when i click on it, something similar to below appears (Screenshot Tomorrow when I have the patience to figure out screenshots),.. which NEVER goes away.

Notification :: clicks ::
(AOL Instant Messenger)
Available
[Go] [Close]
Hide

3) Due to the Notifications (im assuming here, but it does only happen when im on AIM) the backlight turns on often, and this kills the battery in much less then a day (or even a work day for that matter, and im only @ work for 8 1/2 hrs)

Ok, anyone that finds this, please write back in comments, or email me : are.zee.dee /a/ gmail.com

Oh yeah, and on a side note, Memory on the t-mobile wing is TERRIBLE and i wouldnt recommend the phone to anyone until this is fixed, you cant even use the camera with 2 - 3 other applications running,.. on top of that once you load OZ Messenger (AIM, ICQ, Yahoo) the only way to ‘close’ it is to POWER OFF THE WING!!! this has to be some sort of design flaw thats slipped through the cracks..

Please Help update/complete my contacts

August 3rd, 2007

could i take the chance to have everyone reading to reply with their vital information please,…
Full Name, Phone #, Address, Birthday, Email, IM ScreenName (and network -aim,yahoo,msn), etc… i know these are things i should have, but i simply don’t for most of you that i should,.. i have names obviously, and some of you guy’s phone #’s,… but i don’t know birthdays (unless i happen to notice from myspace telling me..) and i cant send 99% of you you mail (except ashley, who randomly gets $1 checks to her house!) !!!!

Please send to rob -at- sn0n.com / are.zee.dee -at- gmail
