Besides keeping your PC safe from Spyware, this browser also has tabbed browsing and automatic PopUp Blocking.

InfoCentral queries

Filed Under (Linux) by cranst on 03-12-2004

InfoCentral seems to have some queries in place that use UNION, but make sure you have MySQL 4+ installed otherwise you’ll get a nice little error. UNION will not work with version 3 of MySQL.

Samba, Nautilus, and Windows

Filed Under (Linux, Windows) by cranst on 03-12-2004

For some reason Nautilus (using samba) will not detect my windows PCs anymore. When it worked, I clicked on

Network Servers–>
Windows Network–>
[workgroupname]–>
[computername]–>
[sharename]
and everything was there and accessible. Now I can’t get the workgroup to show up. I’ll take another look later when actually at the computer.
