At 44100hz our pipe to your audio visual cortex happens at 11.6ms as reported by battery and jacked. However, when compared to the same drill with a windows box of the same specs we can’t tell a difference in latency. Note that the windows box reports a latency closer to 5.8 within battery.

Try as we might, we never got the latency down to levels that are OK for use with the Zendrum. The Zendrum allows the user to play music too fast for the linux / wine / alsa combo. Wineasio helped a lot, but its still too latent for the Zendrum’s awesome ability. Until we can find a program as capable as battery that runs in Linux, we’re stuck recommending windows for this project.

Ran into this again and the fix above didnt stop the red light from blinking. The solution this time was to replace the rechargeable battery inside the mouse with another NiMH Rechargeable battery. We used an off brand 2800mah instead of the stock 2100mah, and we have no issues charging, etc.

Everytime I’ve seen: “To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host.”

… it was a permissions issue.

If you’re on a ‘nix box make sure you chown the files to be that of apache or whatever your httpd user is.

cd /var/www/html/wordpress_website.com/
chown -R apache:apache *

This way when wordpress commands apache to download and install files, your OS will allow it to do so without the use of FTP.

And dont even bother configuring FTP for this purpose, its a pain.

I found plenty of blogs & forums discussing how to reduce the size of the HFS+ partition but nothing on increasing the size of HFS+ partitions.

So the engineer in me took over… and many hours later I have found the solution.

1st, I Download the latest fedora core live cd, burn it, put it in your Mac and boot to it on your Mac by holding down the option key while turning on the mac and selecting the “windows” cd to boot from.

2nd, Once FC13 LiveCD booted I started the disk utillity found here: applications > system tools > disk utillity.

3rd, I used the disk utillity to format the new drive as a GUID system.

4th, I created two ext3 partitions, making the first partion the same size as the first partition on the old hard drive.

5th, I opened terminal and ran the following command:  su ; dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/sda1 conv=noerror,sync ; dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=/dev/sda2 conv=noerror,sync
- Note on my Mac the old hard drive was in an external USB caddy and the new hard drive was installed inside the Mac.  So my mac considered /dev/sda to be the new and larger drive, and /dev/sdb to be the old drive.  You can find out which is which in the disk utillity we used before.  By clicking on a partition, you will see the value for “device:” change to reveal which device it is.    Make sure you don’t just copy and paste what I used without knowing what /dev/sda & /dev/sdb are.

6th, that was it, when the command above completed, all was well.

It took me a long time to realize it was only an issue in Firefox too… I was about to buy a new keyboard!

Luckily I remembered updating some plugins for firefox recently, so I disabled a few plugins and it fixed the problem. Now i can tab! yay!

To manage your addons go to tools > manage add ons > select an add on and click disable > then click restart firefox > press tab a whole bunch to test… repeat as many times as needed to get tab working again.
