That darned libstdc++.so.5 file
I recently purchased some plugins to help with a development project I’m working on. Well, to register and decrypt the plugins, I had to run an application that required the libstdc++.so.5 library which has long been deprecated. I found some help from the following web site however: http://bootstrapping.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/missing-libstdc-so-5-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/ Here’s the magic to get this to [...]

Today, I’m starting a bit of an adventure. Today I’m hoping to change the focus of my business from a consulting focused business over to a product focused business.

Haiku Alpha has the potential to be great!
I’ve been following along with the Computer Action Show and they just did a review of Haiku. In the end, I really wanted to take it for a spin. Haiku is an operating system that is a complete rewrite of the BeOS using the MIT license. Do we really need another operating system? Yes. Choice [...]
