Finally I’ve got my old USB Tevion graphics tablet working on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex). It was a hard fight, and I don’t exactly know anymore how I got there, but I’ll try to reconstruct this case as good as I can. Before you go ahead: It’s not working without flaws. There are some ugly bugs, and dirty workarounds in it, but at least I’ve got it working somehow. This seems to be the first HOWTO for APT-6000U on the Internet so far, please consider it may not work for you, since I’ve got no conformations yet, if it’s working for other, too.

If your WordPress installation is owned and defaced and you’re in a hurry, jump right to the Solution the top of the next page. But watch out, it could be a different problem.
I’m new to WordPress and was asking myself what I can do to secure my Blog. I’ve tried the WP Security Scan plugin, since I’ve stumbled upon it a few times.
I didn’t read the instructions thoroughly and so it came my wp-config.php file wasn’t writable. After the run of the WP – Database Security feature my Blog looked like a fresh install.
I’ve started to read the comments at site of the plugin, but it took me a while to find out what to do.
So a few kids took their chance to defaced my site. Why kids? – Simple: Continue reading ‘Hacked after installing WP Security Scan plugin’

Abandonware – a Wikipedia definition:
Abandonware refers to computer software that is no longer sold or supported, or whose copyright ownership may be unclear for various reasons. …
Well – SimCity2000 (SC2000) is told to be abandonware. So I’ve downloaded simcity2000.zip [2.3MB] from the year 1993, and tried to run the INSTALL.EXE with wine. Hehe, good joke. That doesn’t work of course, and I’ve got this: Continue reading ‘SimCity2000 in a DosBox on Linux for free’
