Very easy this one, but the solution seems buried in a few pages irrelevant results. Simply add the following URL to your RSS reader:

For the record, I did not create the gif or the music, I merely take the remix credit for combining the two (Yes, I am a horrible person :D).
The gif in question is by the very talented Paul Robertson (18+ link). Music is Auricom - Fångad aven korvring, which is a cover of an old Sweedish pop song, I believe.
Australian 5-day BOM weather forecast for Rainmeter
Published on Jan 8, 2012
If you're an Australian user of Rainmeter you'll know that most weather meters are pretty useless, usually running off the inaccurate Yahoo Weather service.
Rainmeter user haicim (in his post here) has made a meter using an Australian BOM feed. I've taken the liberty of tweaking it and fixing a few bugs.
It works with the Gnometer skin, which you should have by default. If you dont you'll need to download an install that first. Once installed, download the 5 Day BOM meter below and edit the PAGEURL variable (line 17) for your state/city. Place the file in the gnometer weather meter directory (usually My Documents/Rainmeter/Skins/Gnometer/Weather). You can use the Gnometer settings control panel to adjust width, fonts, colours and transparency etc.
Windows 7 File Permissions Reset
Published on Dec 6, 2011
So I recently built a new rig, keeping all my old media drives containing movies and music and what-have-you.
I started getting some weird "Access is Denied" errors in uTorrent. Further investigation revealed I couldn't write to some folders, even though the permissions looked correct in the folder properties.
Turns out Windows (Windows 7, at least) doesn't play nice with files created using an older Windows install. Makes sense when you think about it. File permissions rely heavily on usernames and such.
Anyway, here are the steps to effectively reset all permissions on the problem drive/folder:
-
Click Start -
Type cmd into search -
Right-click cmd -
Click Run As Administrator -
cd to your folder or drive (eg. cd D:\Movies) -
Type: takeown /F . /R /A /D Y > NUL -
Type: icacls . /grant USER:(OI)(CI)(F) /L /T /Q
Where USER is your username. You can also use the name "Users" to grant access for any user on your system.
If you're nervous about typing random commands you found on the internet into an Admin-level command prompt (who wouldn't be?!), you can check out what each command and it's parameters does by typing "takeown /?" and "icacls /?".
