Simcity (2013) ruined by bugs | Alex Stanhope

Simcity (2013) ruined by bugs. Mon, 2014-06-23 06:48. It's like programming, but substantially easier and more rewarding in the short-term. Maxis has produced some great versions of the game over the last 30 years, and Simcity 2013 is almost no exception. Unfortunately it's let down by the bugs. This breeds a special kind of frustration. It's a bug, clearly, but as a user of this closed-source game there's nothing I can do about it save moan on the online forum and hope that Maxis will respond.

Cygwin-based rsync without destroying permissions. Sun, 2014-04-27 07:14. I use rsync to keep my drives backed up under Windows 7 (using Cygwin). Windows permissions were getting messed up, but the solution was to disable ACL within Cygwin. I inserted this line into /etc/fstab. None /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user,noacl 0 0. There was no need to change the rsync command itself:. Rsync -avn - stats source destination.

Record set for most profitable Sim City | Alex Stanhope
http://www.alexstanhope.com/blog/technology/234/record-set-most-profitable-sim-city
Record set for most profitable Sim City. Wed, 2014-10-15 20:41. I've been playing Sim City 2013 a bit recently and while irked by some of the bugs, I have enjoyed it. I've worked out how to turn a profit and then scaled that up to claim the top spot on the trading leaderboard. My city 'Plasticity' earns near four times the income of the second place. Now if I can just work out how to scale my start-up in the same way.

When Windows Updates fix Poser problems. Thu, 2013-05-30 19:04. Recently my copy of Poser 9 stopped working. The Library manager refused to open, posting this error message:. After some Googling I wasn't able to resolve it. I'd lost my Poser 9 disk so a reinstall (the recommended approach) wasn't an option. I was planning a Poser Pro upgrade, but after installing Poser Pro 2014 I still had this error. An as yet uninstalled Windows 7 update. An as yet uninstalled Flash update.

Samsung Galaxy S3 freezing and looping black (start-up logo) screen of death | Alex Stanhope
http://www.alexstanhope.com/blog/technology/225/samsung-galaxy-s3-freezing-and-looping-black-start-logo-screen-death
Samsung Galaxy S3 freezing and looping black (start-up logo) screen of death. Fri, 2013-05-24 20:23. I recently had a problem with a friend's S3. They had rooted their SGS3, which invalidates the warranty and is clearly something I would never do myself (ahem)! My first thought was "Vodafone bricked my (friend's) S3". Fortunately the skills I/he/she had learned rooting it came in handy for rescuing it. I read some good posts. Http:/ forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? I installed Dummy File Generator.

Windows-updated Intel HD4000 driver broke Battlefield 3. Fri, 2013-05-31 06:45. My problems with auto-update continued today. Battlefield 3 failed to start up properly. The mouse froze over the in-game menu. This was a proper hardware crash that won't respond to task switching (Alt Tab) or interrupts (Ctrl Alt Delete).
