Note about uploading multibyte filename files (japanese filenames)

by z3n on Apr.20, 2010, under Notes

Uploading multibyte filenames files is a issue, it depends of the origin and destination OS support and not only that but majority of the program you are uploading from. Usually i use smartftp, however, it really sucks on that matter, it simply ruins the encodings.

Use FILEZILLA instead. Don’t even try to move , rename or touch multibyte files with smartftp!

Windows 7 Aero Glass Extras

by z3n on Apr.20, 2010, under Tips & Hints

So, i was tired of windows xp, not only due the massive bugs it tends to fall into after lots of updates, but because it can’t take advantage of the new directXs.

Now on windows 7 i found out about the aero and glass, all nice and cool, although it don’t work on everything and not how i want, so i collected a few programs/mods/plugins to make things look better, i might be updating this post as i find more decent/usable in real life mods.

Here’s a screen:

and the mods:

Command Line / Prompt Aero Glass – Glass CMD for Vista

PuTTY Aero Glass – PuTTY Glass Transparency Patch

Firefox Addon (usable one) – All-Glass for Firefox

umount note

by z3n on Apr.20, 2010, under Linux Happyness, Tips & Hints

I had to umount a drive but it wasn’t working, not even with -f (force) option.

So i looked man pages and found out about lazy option (-l) which solved the issue;


umount -l /path/to/mount/point
