4GB SD card in a Nikon D50 does not work

Key words and phrases: 
Nikon D50 secure digital card CHA
Description & Info: 

"THIS CARD CANNOT BE USED"

I cursed the card that I picked up cheap at instead of my camera

apologies to Taiwan... the 4GB SD card (Secure Digital High Capacity Memory Card) from Taiwan, and more recently Abacus 24-7 didn't work 'cause the Nikon D50 only accepts up to 2GB. Blast.

Agaric wants Eclipse to flag the entire file prominently, not just a line, when it has a parse error

Key words and phrases: 
Eclipse mark page if parse error Eclipse PDT alert if parse error mark whole page if error Eclipse
Description & Info: 

Agaric wants a plugin or something for eclipse that will make it very clear around the document that a fatal parse error has been identified somewhere in it— not just a mark on the side of the line with the problem. Too easy to miss.

Get Linux running on your Linksys Router

Key words and phrases: 
Linksys WRT54 Gv8 flashing instructions WRT54G version8 ver8 ver.8 version 8.0 8 dd-wrt dd wrt linux router v8 v.8 linux
Description & Info: 

Recently my router was giving me some problems, the worst type, dropped signal!

After hours of searching around in forums and such, I concluded that it must (hopefully) have something to do with Linksys's generally bad router software, you know, the page you goto to make all your settings and stuff... usually found at 192.168.1.1

On to the good stuff...

It's all actually quite simple, and I've taken the liberty to get all you need and make it available for you right here... so, feel free to send me some beer money, or better yet, BEER! (keep in mind, I only drink quality micro and craft brews...)

Automatically making connections

Description & Info: 

Just a quick post to note that the Facebook functionality where when you type in a URL it instantly finds if there's a Facebook group with that web site is pretty cool.

It puts a little too much information about the group right embedded in your post, but still a very cool connection-maker (or re-enforcer).
