| When you try to run Borderlands 2, it gets into a loop where it asks you to reboot after it reinstalls .net 4.0. Fortunately, this problem is easily resolved! First, do a complete install of Borderlands 2. The first time it asks you to reboot, do so. Then, when you’re back in Windows, go to your Borderlands 2 installation folder (something like: c:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Borderlands 2). In there, you will see a file called installscript (or installscript.vdf if you have show extensions enabled) Rename the file (oldinstallscript is fine) and download this file Put it in that folder and launch! Enjoy the game  I was getting the lovely error: can’t activate rack (~> 1.1.0, runtime), already activated rack-1.3.1
After racking (no pun intended) my brain and searching for a while, I found a working solution. What I ended up having to do was edit /home/foreman/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller.rb Around line #34, it reads gem 'rack', '~> 1.1.0'
All I did was change this line to read gem 'rack', '~> 1.3.1'

There is a simple solution to fix this problem! Continue reading CentOS release 5.3 (Final) Yum Update fails with Traceback In the office, we have a Linux box which we use to delegate access to a certain set of production servers. CIFS mount points are shared out through FTP, allowing us to control who can access what. We recently ran into a problem. A few large zip files were transferred to production and I was asked to unzip them. The first set of four zip files were unable to be extracted, reporting a premature end of file. I had the user recompress the files using 7zip (winrar was used originally). This also did not solve the problem. Next, we tried a different FTP client. No dice.

You likely are using the Admin Drop Menus plugin. This plugin is not compatible with wordpress 2.7. The simple fix is to disable the plugin. Simply add the following to your admin url: plugins.php In my case, I have the url: http://blog.zacharyarmstrong.com/wp-admin/ which I turn into http://blog.zacharyarmstrong.com/wp-admin/plugins.php From there, you can deactivate the plugin and all should be fixed!

Continue reading Giving root level permissions to users in Linux There’s an issue with Openfire (formerly known as Wildfire – the open source Jabber-based IM server) and large amounts of users. The Openfire server stops accepting new connections when approximately 1000+ concurrent users are logged in. This issue seems to be caused by a maximum open file limit per process being hit. I figured out the following solution after a half day or so of researching and testing. This applies to Fedora Core 7 Linux, but should work with any Linux-based OS capable of running Openfire. Continue reading Openfire (Wildfire) Stops Accepting New Connections I was having issues getting Flock to be my default browser in Vista. Flock, which is an awesome browser based on the Firefox browser, was set as my default browser within Vista. However, when clicking on links and whatnot in emails, IMs and RSS feeds on Trillian, etc, the websites were opening in Internet Explorer (IE7). This is not good.
