Firefox or Thunderbird 7-Zip Error

Posted by Administrator in Technology

This post only concern problems in Micro$oft Window$.

I have been informed that some people have had problems installing Firefox and / or Thunderbird and receiving an “Unresolved Error” from a window title “7-Zip”. I finally found the reason for this is the fact that the installation file that they downloaded was corrupted. So, how do you know when you download that the resulting downloaded file is corrupted or not? Well, there is no easy way to do it in Window$. In Linux however (or if you have an MD5 calculating software in Window$) you can easily do this by md5sum name_of_program and the computer is going to spit out the resulting md5 hash calculation. You then compare it from the md5sum that the download site supplies. So, in the case of Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.4/MD5SUMS , just change the red-colored parts of the link with the correct product and version number.

But, if you can’t check the md5sum, just try downloading the file again. Trust me, it’s worthed.

Migrated to Wordpress

Posted by Administrator in Site news

I finally decided to migrate to wordpress from the one that was built totally from the ground. I don’t have enough time to deal with my own personal website on a full time basis, and wordpress is a powerful enough framework to do it in. I hope you enjoy this change and I’ll check back on your comments later.
