Our latest bug friend who dropped by tonight. These little buggers are responsible for the most annoying noise you will hear during the Costa rica summer.
Alyssa calls the glass “the kill jar” but to date, we have yet to kill anything. They are always released to the outside from where they came.
After 20 minutes of chatting you get the “ROBOT!!!” exclamation from everyone on vent. Or you could get the “Dude, just don’t talk”. Either way, here is a complete fix:
You need to replace the KEXT file AppleUSBAudio.kext with an older version. You do all this via “su” or logged in as root.
Here’s how to do it (re-written from here):
sh-3.2# kextstat | grep AppleUSBAudio
129 0 0x92cdc000 0×28000 0×27000 com.apple.driver.AppleUSBAudio (2.5.8b13) <99 98 36 14 8 7 5 4 3 1>
WordPress 3.0 is Thelonious. That might sound a little scary or almost evil but it’s actually a tribute to Thelonious Monk. Most likely Matt Mullenweg’s over-interest in Jazz fueled that one. TL;DR about WP3.0 – it’s niiiiiiiiiiiice. Check new default theme on it too.
Now to google bot, go update these pages from cache please:
Page rank and MSN avatars. This is a shameless plug to get these pages updated in Google.
Here in Costa Rica the internet is terrible. At home it is OK but in the office it is always falling over. We are on a huge waiting list for Wi Max and until then we just have to suck it up. In Canada and the United States, we never really have issues with our internet connection unless we live in remote areas of the country.
At least in the more remote parts of North America we have options. We should all be glad about his because since I moved here, I am somewhat limited. There are many good companies who specialize in dial-up internet and DSL service. More often than not, cheap dial up is not the answer, but you can always try it out and see if it works. Usually you can get trials but more often than not, you can risk less than $10 to try it.
I wish we had these options in Costa Rica.
The people at Copper, actively choose not to employ deceptive practices which many ISP’s utilize on a daily basis. All of your information is safe and secure with them. They won’t collect your personal information and make it available to other companies. They really are quite different from the big guys in the internet service market.
If you ever need help, you can always call for assistance and hear a friendly voice at the other end of the telephone. Copper don’t outsource their services and jobs overseas so if you’re looking for an internet provider who are in your time zone and speak your language then check them out.

I made a big mistake by getting my mates to claim I was G-d’s son. Some people took me too seriously and now I have a shedload of believers that need convincing I was just pulling a stunt.
Can you set me up with a website so I can inform the masses that I am just a dead guy with holes in my hands and being Jewish is the way to go.
I will pay you with very old shekels my Mum gave me when she did the DNA test proving Joseph was my Dad, he nearly killed her over that prank.
I thought this was funny. Then again, my sense of humor is weird because I like to use a paint roller frame to paint walls.
