Install VMWare ESXi 4 to USB Drive, or to HDD without a CD Drive
So I’ve got a newish PC here that I want to setup with VMWare ESXi. The down side is that I can’t seem to get it to boot off a USB CD-ROM drive, and I don’t have any SATA DVD Drives handy to pop in. Thankfully, I’ve managed to find a relatively easy way to […]
White console screen in VMWare
I’ve recently come across an insanely annoying bug in VMWare. I’m not entirely sure of the steps to replicate it. For me, I was lucky enough to have several VMWare Hosts & Clusters that I could test against at the time when this arose. Basically, the general gist is the “Console” screen of any Virtual […]

I’d been flashing back and forth between other ROMs so much, that my process wasn’t quite complete This fixes that! I’ve flashed a total of 3 Galaxy S (Two i9000’s and one i9000T) this morning […]
Short and sweet – MIUI on the Samsung Galaxy S i9000T / i9000M / SGH-I897
So it turns out it’s not terribly difficult to get MIUI running on the Samsung Galaxy S i9000T (Or the i9000M – Whatevers on WCDMA 850Mhz which is Telecom XT or AT&T in the US) OK well it kind of is. It’s more a multi-step process rather than difficult. First you need to have your […]

Clarifying the Nexus S & Galaxy S in NZ
Turns out there’s quite a bit of confusion around these two phones. So, I’ll sum it up nicely for everybody: The Samsung Galaxy S is known as the “i9000”. The standard model operates on HSDPA / GSM frequencies 900Mhz & 2100Mhz, which we over here know as Vodafone. The “i9000M” is the same as Telecom […]
Lotus Notes Traveler on Android
Finally after over a year in development, the Lotus Notes Traveler client for Android has been released!
