Fix for FirstClass Mac OS X case sensitive bug

When I updated my Mac Pro to Snow Leopard, I selected the case sensitive filesystem. I could not install Adobe CS because it requires a non case sensitive file system. I was really annoyed by that but I’m sure Adobe has their reasons. I also found that the client my University uses for email (FirstClass) would not work. At first I did not think it was because of the case sensitive issue. Today I found out after tinkering around that it was indeed because of this. I figured out that you must edit the home.fc file in “/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/firstclass/settings/”. To edit it just open the file in TextEdit, or any text editing program you use, and on line 10 just edit the file extension from .FCP to fcp. Make sure to do this before you save your username and password, because the contents of the file will change and it will then be on line 2401. I am going to contact FirstClass and let them know about it hopefully they will fix this minor bug.

Running Google Chromium OS inside Parallels 5

So Google has released a working version of Chromium Os. It is just in the begining phases of development so there’s not much there, and it’s quite slow. Nonetheless I wanted to try it. The way posted on the chromium site, is for Linux geeks, and since I’m not great with Linux, I found there was a way around that. There is a VMware image on gdgt.com, however I am running Parallels 5. I ran a Google search, and found a site that explained step by step how to get it running on Parallels 5. Click Here to visit the tutorial.

Finally here is a picture of me running Chromium OS in Parallels 5.

Call of Duty: World at War 1.07 Update

I don’t play much ps3, but when I do I play Call of Duty: World At War. Today I was notified that there was an update which I installed. I was hoping that this would fix the connection issues in zombies mode. Not only did it fix them, but the levels are much longer now. And aiming is much harder or maybe that’s a glitch. Now I am thinking should I get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?

Improv Everywhere Videos

A couple of days ago I saw many funny videos created by a group Called Improv Everywhere, thanks to a reddit link. I decided to share these on my blog, enjoy!

Photo of the day – Toronto Scientology handout

Scientology Photo of the day   Toronto Scientology handout

Today I was walking in downtown Toronto, when I saw a guy handing out leaflets on the corner of Dundas and Yonge. I usually don’t like taking them but I decided to give it a chance. The front seemed interesting, however I found the Back very funny since, well it was a Scientology ad. I guess the recession really affected their following and they need more. This leaflet really made me laugh. Honestly it just helps prove more that Scientology is just a Product rather than a real Religion, Seriously what Religion has free trials and tests then you go for the full price? My friend was joking around that the person that invented infomercials probably invented this Religion, and I have no problem understanding what he meant.
