You can add some more style to your XBOX 360 avatar by unlocking the hidden crazy hair colors such as purple, blue, green and orange, without any hacking, modifications or purchase.

At the dashboard, go to My XBox, then enter your profile, customize avatar, and select Change My Features. Now hold the left trigger button to make your avatar spin for about a minute while watching the Hairstyle box. When it spins, hit the A (green) button and you should hear a confirmation tone. Thats it! Now enter the Hairstyle menu and choose one of your new crazy colors!

XBOX 360 Gaming

Yes folks, I finally broke away from the PS2 and got into the online gaming community with the XBOX 360 LIVE. Why the change? I was recently introduced to EA’s Battlefield Bad Company & Bad Company 2 by a friend, and I must say that it is absolutely the best first-person shooter that I have ever played. I will, of course, be looking to get some of my old favorites for the new platform.

I was also lucky enough to come across a few friends that play the game with the same amount of emotion that I do, and so we have formed the “HYK Clan” to be associated together. If you wish to play online my gamertag is “MV Stunter”, and we would welcome competition from other clans as well, such as squad deathmatches or squad rush. To find more information about the “HYK Clan” visit our hompage at http://www.facebook.com/pages/HYK-Clan/117196558329861. Don’t forget to “like” our group, and we will be able to shorten our url!

Windows XP, Vista, Starter 7, Trouble Connecting to wireless networks

Because I am often working with wireless networks I have discovered that Windows XP, Vista, and Starter 7 (Often found on netbooks.) will not connect to wireless networks using the ascii passkey assigned. I have found that the culprit is because Windows refuses to encrpyt the passkey from ascii to hexadecimal format when trying to connect. The solution/workaround is to manually enter the hexadecimal passkey when setting up the connection.

I am unsure as to whether this also affects older versions of Windows, or that this will be corrected in future releases.

Disable and Remove Apparmor from Ubuntu Linux

AppArmor is a security extension (similar to SELinux) that should provide extended security on your Ubuntu system and it usually causes more problems than advantages. It can be removed safely and your system will remain reasonably secure, as nothing on the internet is absolutely secure. (This is a must if you want to install ISPConfig)

We can disable it like this:

/etc/init.d/apparmor stop
update-rc.d -f apparmor remove

And remove it with:

apt-get purge apparmor apparmor-utils

-or-

aptitude remove apparmor apparmor-utils

You may then optionally remove the apparmor & apparmor.d directories & contents from the /etc directory.
