Explorer: No cookies using underscores
Sep 21st
Recently at work we came across, yet another new frustrating microsoft thing:
Cookies don’t work on explorer 7 when you use an underscore within your domain. For us this was the case for some local develop address “domain_php5.local”. It only took my colleague a day to figure it out…
As underscores arn’t valid for hostnames, this problem mostly occurs within local networks. Solution: change the hostname.

Running Debian Linux on Toshiba Satellite R850
Aug 23rd
Recently I bought a Toshiba Satellite R850-153. I decided to install my favorite Linux distro Debian (wheezy/testing amd64). Things went well (wifi works out of the box), but also things went very wrong immediately after installation.Below I’ll describe the problems I came across after installing Debian. I think this will be useful for Ubuntu users too!

OSX and Linux NFS shares
Jun 3rd
At work we had this odd problem of OSX (Leopard) clients disconnecting from our NFS file shares. The problem occurred when the clients opened the index of their mounted location. At this point the whole finder (OSX file browser) disconnected and reported “Connection interrupted”. However, the users were able to open child folders directly (e.g. /mount/folder/) which eventually made their work little bit possible, but usually within minutes they got disconnected again while doing copy jobs and such.
