I meant to blog this when rtyler and I found it the other night. He come into #Mono complaining that NAnt – delivered with Mono – wasn’t working at ALL on OS X. We spent a lot of time looking around and it came down to pkg-config. The pkg-config shipped with mono isn’t the one [...]

Was running into issues where I’d launch Warcraft III on my MacBook and it would stop just as soon as it started. Digging around I finally found a solution.

Recently my computer at work blew up and I had to reinstall the OS and start from scratch. Backing everything up and starting over was a pain. I decided to minimize any down time in the future by installing Ubuntu and then running windows with virtualization. That way if some new policy – or just [...]

If you run into issues with VMWare freezing on you – usually during power up or shutdown – check that your cpu frequency scaling is working properly. I noticed I was getting errors trying to step the processor up and down. In Ubuntu I went ahead and ran: sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd stop And that took care [...]
