Thank god for good internet posts.
This post about solving the Windows 7 Language Installation saved my butt.
I got Japanese installed after installing Windows 7. (Having some “RAID” versus “AHCI” problems.)
Now, the problem is getting the data off my old NTFS file system without tainting it.. 
Also, I use Chrome now. Firefox can go fuck itself.. sorry FFox.
So here is my latest hunger– moving out into an apartment with my buddies that is an incredible media hub.
Like…
It’d be complex, but damn. I think this’d be awesome. I think I’d need a great ethernet card, some nice RAID management.. etc..
What a headache, but fun!
This post is an appendix to my ‘old list of attempted solutions’ in my ‘attempt to fix my shaky wacom tablet cursor’ post.
Continue reading below if you want to find out all the things that didn’t work.
My friend Eevee who runs a Pokedex (A list of Pokemon, moves, abilities, TMs, HMs, etc) is a competent web developer. I used to have a mIRC scripter (Merc) who mentored me on mIRC scripting and intelligent coding. I think I then had a friend (Erica) who was a compatriot when it came to developing HTML and CSS websites. I had a mentor (Nathan) who helped me with PHP, and another mentor (Mike) who helped me with an introduction to Linux and Python. However, when it comes to higher levels of thought for web servers, I’ve been trusting Eevee for his opinion.
I was recently blown away by yet another one of his informative posts. This one covered a range of topics. Pylons caching of page template bodies/body; Apache maintenance page / pages; http status 307 versus refreshing your browser; and mod_fastcgi problems with gzip. The amount of things he faces when he’s just doing coding as his hobby impresses me. I’ve been working on my own project, but I can only hope I learn as much as he has when I need it!
I suggest you take a look– he’s written many other informative posts at his (Eevee’s) journal.
So, I was typing into Firefox’s search bar, when this came up…
That's the right answer...?! And it already said it for me?
Lo and behold, this even works at the main Google site.
Even Google's set to do this by default at the homepage!
Awesome.
EDIT MAY 17, 2010:
I added a new test environment for Linux down there. After doing this, it appears that it’s the HARDWARE causing the problem. Ubuntu 10.04 is not likely using the same Wacom drivers as Windows. So, I’m going to test rebooting without the other monitors connected and update this post in a bit.
EDIT: June 16th, 2010
ASUS gave me a replacement motherboard for the problem.. but the problem still exists. So I’m running out of things to consider… The Power Supply? I think someone else’s post about the power supply could be right..
I’ll keep everyone updated about the replacement Power Supply I’ll be getting.
If you’re ANYTHING like me, you are FRUSTRATED (to say the least) if your cursor shakes when using the Wacom Tablet pen.
So, I decided that it’d be best if I had an extensive index of EVERYTHING I’ve tried to do to get mine to work.
WACOM INTUOUS 3
While hovering the pen above the tablet pad, the cursor shakes WILDLY. While hovering the pen just above the surface (and resting my hand on the pad), my hand does not shake but the cursor does.
The same happens for the Wacom Mouse.
Placing my pen right at the surface causes the tablet pen to do anything from waver about once per second to five times per second.
The biggest symptom: drawing a diagonal line creates an obviously wavy line. (This is different from a naturally curvy line that would be created from your hand movement.)
This has happened between two different PCs, so I am the definition of frustrated.
I only recently learned about Fork bombs. The idea is that a user who can successfully log onto your server will run a simple program that will tell the server to run more simple programs– these programs may do nothing malicious by themselves, but when they keep creating more and more kids, your server’s resources will dwindle until the server has nothing remaining to operate with.
This VERY IMPORTANT POST about limiting user’s process/RAM Limits will help you guarantee that users will find it hard, if not impossible, to abuse the system with a fork bomb.
This below page helped me out a LOT:

Here was the problem: I had my completed document, but I wanted the exported PDF and PNGs to not include anything hidden, or outside the page’s area.
Lo and behold, there was a setting for that outlined on the above page.
Woo!
Uhh.. speaking of which.. Hey! Look! My resume was just coincidentally updated! Fancy that.
One of the best articles that discussed how to bind or listen on multiple IP addresses is this article:
Bind Multiple IP Addresses to a Single Network Interface Card (NIC)
Amazing! Useful!
Recently, I just got some Legacy software. Woo!
On floppy disk. What is this, 1990?
So, my beta/Old PC was the only one that had a disk drive. And that computer had Debian linux.
So, let’s get these to my pc!
Step 1:
Make sure the floppy drive works.
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0
If that says something like
mount: /dev/fd0: can't read superblock
, then open up your computer and make sure that the floppy drive works. This happened to me, and apparently I had forgotten to.. well.. hook up the drive.... remember to do that.
SU up to root in case you can’t mount.
Tip: you have to specify a filesystem format when you mount the drive. -t is the switch that does so.
Step 2:
If the above step works, you’ve mounted the drive. You’re going to need the following two commands:
md5sum is to help you verify that, when you are mounting and unmounting disks, that your unmount attempts are working.
apt-get install isomd5sum
apt-get install mkisofs
OK. So now that you have the required software,
Step 3:
mkisofs -r -o /path/to/desired/ISO/file/newFileName-0.iso /media/floppy0
The above step creates the ISO file.
Then, umount your disk. Make sure to leave the /media/floppy0 folder if you were just in there! You can’t unmount a folder you’re in.
umount /media/floppy0
Repeat step 1 as many times as necessary.
Step 4: (optional)
Use md5sum to check the MD5 of a file. Do this with the ISO files you want to compare.
~# md5sum /path/to/desired/ISO/file/newFileName-* a583c9cc94c11d0e35b4967b79f979a0 /path/to/desired/ISO/file/newFileName-0.iso 7f15179dbc68c18b2f91ecd9365b7c70 /path/to/desired/ISO/file/newFileName-1.iso
If you have more than one matching MD5 answer (first column), the files are likely to be the same.
Step 5:
Make sure to unmount the last disk, and then transfer your files to your destination computer.
Stay cool, viewers!
