Awesome Java based IRC Client Comments Off

If you are looking for a great Java based IRC client, I would suggest PJIRC. It is really easy to integrate into your web pages; and includes the html code that you need to embed it onto a page.

It’s a small download, and runs really quickly, which was always a downside of the other IRC Java applets I’ve tried. The GUI really isn’t too bad. It has tabs for different channels, a full scroll window, right click ability for whois, op, de-op, and more. Download PJIRC

The added bonus here, however, is the piece of this article that explains how to overclock your SDA and install SKYPE for use over your WLAN network. Skype is a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) program that, when you add some money to the account ($12 worked for me for about 6 months) allows you….

Cpuspeed Reboot Loop on Dual Opteron Comments Off

I recently had a problem with a dual Opteron system going into an infinite reboot situation after upgrading to Fedora Core 6 from Fedora Core 4. It turns out the culprit is the cpuspeed package – as soon as this service was starting, the system would reboot instantly. My guess is that there is some incompatibility with the Dual Opteron CPU, as I have seen some posts in bugzilla about this. Here is information on the cpuspeed package: 1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950515253545556575859606162——————————————————————— Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-045 2007-01-10 ——————————————————————— Product     : Fedora Core 6 Name        : cpuspeed Version     : 1.2.1 Release     : 1.43.fc6 Summary     : CPU frequency adjusting daemon Description : cpuspeed is a daemon that dynamically changes the speed of your processor(s) depending upon its current workload if it is capable (needs Intel Speedstep, AMD PowerNow!, or similar support). ——————————————————————— Update Information:….
