Occasionally when i’m not procrastinating at life I make mixes… I thought I would toss up some links to some of my mixes for you all to enjoy. Most are Electronic/Dubstep/DrumNBass

XKCD
Pretty epic XKCD today… Is there a save game option so I can continue my exploration at a later time?
The Walking Dead – Random Thoughts and discussion
Watched The Walking Dead with my wife last night. I proceeded to have dreams on how to Zombify my house from impending attacks. I did this apparently by moving back in with my parents, hanging out with kids from high school, while driving my teenage car (1988 Honda Prelude SI). It’s funny how shit kinda runs together in dreams….I don’t recall seeing a single Zombie, but I knew in my dreams it was all about zombies….
F’d up. I was even paranoid opening the garage this morning despite the ridiculous thought that zombie could ever exist…
My wife and I got into an argument last night. She said she would find a cozy island in a tropical area to live on so that Zombie’s couldn’t get to her. I asked what made her think the zombies couldn’t get there?
“Well they can’t walk on water!”
I replied, “What makes you think they have to? Why can’t they just crawl across the bottom of the lake?”
We then debated if Zombie’s needed oxygen to continue to function, even though they are dead…We know they eat meat, but not if they require it to function….so whats to stop them from moving across the bottom of a lake to get to the other side??
NetApp – Super Sekret Mode
Random discovery of a super secret mode for Netapp CLI. Not a major discovery but was useful to me while troubleshooting something at work.
Its merely an elevated security mode to allow for commands and options normally used by NetApp folks etc.
netapp> priv set <advanced> <diag>
advanced or diag allows for more granual options for your VFilers or the NetApp all together and may come in useful tracking down hidden configuration options that you’re unable to see via the GUI or CLU normally. It’s a toggle so when you enable advanced mode you’ll see the prompt with an * (netapp*> ). If you want to change back to regular mode just type priv set and hit enter.
Just passing this along!
New Android Phone Not Receiving all Texts – Migrated from Iphone 4
I ran into an interesting dilemma this past weekend, after upgrading to a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I was previously on an IPhone 4. It seemed I was getting texts from most folks but not all. Not until I sat down at my desk at home Saturday night did I see texts from a friend of mine, who presumed I was ignoring him.
I wasn’t getting the texts on my new phone…but my IPhone…which doesn’t have service…So…My old IPhone was on the internet, but still receiving texts from Iphone (IMessage) users… Ah Ha!
FIX:
Go into the options on your old Iphone, Settings, Messages, IMessage. Turn it off…and while you’re at it turn off all messaging just in case.
Once I did this I received the proper texts from IPhone folks again. While you’re at it you might as well wipe all of your cloud data from your old phone as well, and if you’re planning to sell I recommend wiping and restoring from a default load via Itunes.
VMWare Fusion – Enable your Boot Camp Windows partition to Suspend.
A friend of mine recently showed me a way to allow the bootcamp partition running Windows to Suspend in VMWare Fusion. Up until this time I was unable to do so and the machine ate quite a few resources and battery. I presume the setting is hardcoded by default so that you’re less apt to attempt a boot into that partition after it was set to suspend and not properly shut down.
**So be sure you know that by enabling the suspend function that you should make sure to give your boot camp partition a clean shut down before trying to boot into it.
Blah Blah Blah…Tell us how. FYI I’m running both Fusion 3.x and 4.x and both work.
1. Shut down all your VM’s including your bootcamp VM, exit completely out of VMWare Fusion.
2. Open Terminal
3. Browse to the following path, substituting your username and boot camp partition name if you changed it from the default.
/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/VMWare Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camp.vmwarevm
Recent Music Addition; Foster The People
It’s been awhile since I blogged..well..anything… I figure I could at least toss up a post about some music I’ve been enjoying as of late! This is the first post and I’ll add more for some other albums I’ve been enjoying as well.
First off is a group that apparently had been playing in PAC Sun stores for months, and recently had a decent radio hit. I find them a complete mix of MGMT & Empire of The Sun. If you even remotely like either of those groups, you’ll love the sound and sway of this ablum.
Their big song to date is Pumped Up Kids, however my album favorite thus far has been Helena Beat. Here’s a taste of that via video as well as song.

Quick Tips: VMWare Fusion 3 on OSX Lion
Mental Note…
I recently reloaded my Macbook Pro and had some issues getting Fusion to work. To make a long story short I suggest logging into VMWare’s site and manually downloading Fusion 3 version 3.1.3 before you do anything. If you install off the disc it may only be version 3.0. The built in check for updates apparently is retarded and won’t find the updated 3.1.3 version to install so you need to go get it yourself.
The issue:
If you use VMWare Fusion to virtualize your Bootcamp partition there’s a likely chance it will break once you upgrade to Lion. In a previous post I talked about how to fix that. This post is more about making sure that if you try to perform said fix you’re running Fusion 3.1.3 (or the new Fusion 4). It will save you time!

VM Fusion “Cannot Open Disk” after OSX Lion Installation
I wanted to share a link to an article explaining what happened to me after installing OSX lion last night.
I’m a pretty new MAC user so fumbling around for awhile on the internet is all it took to find the fix, but I wanted to include both pieces here to assist others with the same issue.
FIrst off…You’ll find articles telling you to:
“Our fix was to follow the path: Users{yourname}LibraryApplication SupportVMware FusionVirtual MachinesBoot Camp%2Fdev%2Fdisk0. He deleted the file: Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm”
The first thing you’ll notice is that the userslibrary folder is no where to be found. Apparently in Lion they’ve decided to hide these folders. There is however an easy fix for both of these issues.
Step 1: Open a terminal and type the following at the prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Step 2: follow the path: Users{yourname}LibraryApplication SupportVMware FusionVirtual MachinesBoot Camp%2Fdev%2Fdisk0. Delete or rename the file: Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm
Step 3: Boot up vmware fusion and enjoy 
Both of these fixes were found:
