Syntax Highlighter Evolved AutoIT Brush Plugin

Posted on May 3, 2012 by David Orlo

Syntax Highlighter using AIT for AutoIT Code

Here is my second Syntax Highlighter Brush attempt. This one was far more complex than the last Arduino / Wiring Brush I made. There are still a few things that need to be worked out such as multiline comments and there seems to be a bug in WordPress / Syntax Highlighter that adds a semicolon in various places where one didn’t exist before. I noticed this because the semicolon is used to denote comments in AutoIT and after adding that section of code to the highlighter I was able to easily spot this flaw. I plan to do more work

Syntax Highlighter Evolved Arduino / Wiring Brush Plugin

Syntax Highlighter using C++ for Arduino Code

I finally got around to making a custom plugin also called a “brush” for Syntax Highlighter that properly highlights the Arduino language called Wiring. I haven’t fully worked out the colors for the different themes but so far the colors I have chosen look nice with the Default theme and the Emacs theme. I’m going to work on the colors more and make specific colors for each theme in the future. Check out the before and after pictures, the before is using standard C++ code and the after is using the custom wiring code. I couldn’t find solid instruction on

Macbook Pro Unibody Hard Drive Disk Activity Light – MOD

Posted on March 18, 2012 by David Orlo

Recently I started to run low on space so I decided to buy a new hard drive and although the speed increase from the faster drive was a nice bonus I still felt like something was missing, oh thats right an HD ACTIVITY LIGHT APPLE! I can see Steve Jobs making this call while saying something along the lines of it distracting from the cleanliness of the design and he probably called it an obsolete feature stating most disks are constantly active with modern search indexing and background tasks blah blah, I obviously don’t agree with this and many others

SAS/SATA LSI Hardware PCI-e RAID under $50

Posted on March 16, 2012 by David Orlo

SAS/SATA LSI Hardware PCI-e RAID under $50, say what? Yes its true and I will show you how. Recently I was shopping for some Raid controllers for our Dell PowerEdge 2950’s at work which typically use a Dell PERC 5/i or you can outfit them with something better but I was looking for the OEM solution. I was hunting on eBay when I started to notice most of these cards where under $50, in fact I purchased 3 of them for $35 each. If you don’t know already a Dell PERC 5/i is nothing more than a re-branded LSI MegaRAID

Slow Disk to Disk File Transfers (Caching)

Posted on March 14, 2012 by David Orlo

Recently I ran into an issue that I would like to share with you and it had to do with slow file transfers. To make a long story short I am upgrading my server which has a RAID 5 and I am replacing the onboard RAID with a hard controller. To do this I am going to need to back up all my data on the RAID Array but this is where I ran into an issue. When I would transfer files from the array to one of my non-array drives I would receive 40-50 MBps sustained writes on one

Setup Dedicated (VPS) Virtual Private Server from the ground up (1and1 hosting specific)

Posted on March 10, 2012 by David Orlo

By now you should already have your server purchased and ready to go, if not go watch a movie while its being “set up” and come back here, I’ll be here I promise. I know when I got my first dedicated server from 1and1 Web Hosting it took forever for them to “set it up” or whatever it is they do. I read on the website it normally takes about 24 hours but in my case it was closer to 4 days. I don’t want to knock them because maybe they were low on hardware and I did get double

iMac 2006 Core Duo to Core 2 Duo, Memory, Hard Drive Upgrade

Posted on February 18, 2012 by David Orlo

Yes you can upgrade a weak old Core Duo iMac into a decent performing modern machine that will support the latest Mac OS and if your interested, allow you to program for the iPhone and iPad. Note: this isn’t for the faint hearted and later when I have more time I will revise this posting with more detail and I will break out the images from the gallery or add captions to the gallery photos to give a better understanding of what is going on in each photo. The first thing you need to do it open up the iMac,

Asus RT-N16 MMM pt.1 Fan Mod

Posted on October 5, 2011 by David Orlo

The Asus RT N16, I found this router when I was looking for something to replace my D-Link DGL-4500 Gamer Lounge. Although the router was very expensive when I bought it and the flashy LCD sure looks nice it doesn’t actually perform all that well and if I disconnect my Sonicwall and try to use the router by itself it chokes out and locks up under heavy bit torrent load. I decided I would shop for something else and when I read the specs on this unit and the fact it could run DD-WRT I thought it sounded like a
