I managed to fill up the multimedia card on the N70 -- the only thing that's surprising about that event is the length of time it took me to do it. 🙂 So I went looking for ways to get photos out of the phone into iPhoto. I can't believe it took until the third page of … Continue reading Nokia sync software for Mac!

I had some system problems yesterday. My VMware guests just stopped. Middle of the day and they just died. I tried to run the management console or even the command line programs, but they all failed with the infamous "VMware is installed but is not configured for this system..." message and the prompt to run vmware-config.pl. I re-emerged vmware-server … Continue reading Gentoo “hardened” multilib?
I was using a fitness ball (swiss ball, exercise ball, gym ball, etc) to sit on in the study in lieu of a normal chair. I have to be honest and say that the experiment wasn't working for me (it was supposed to get me disciplined to keep straight posture while seated) and I was considering … Continue reading Another big bang
I haven't switched sides, really... but four cores for AU$330 was too much to resist. :)I'm doing the cascading hardware trick... But instead of buying the new top-end rig and finding something to do with the surplus gear, I found something new to do with my existing desktop and had to replace it. AMD's 4x4 stuff looks good, … Continue reading Sorry, AMD

When I hit the button, Konqueror proclaims that it "Could not connect to host", but if I right-click on the "Login" link and choose "Open with Firefox Web Browser..." it works … Continue reading Konqueror and Internet Banking
When I first set up FreePBX, I was frustrated by the inability to create a voicemail user independently of an extension. It looked to me like an office system, where each handset was associated with an individual and had its own voicemail. In the end I created a few extensions that were not associated with handsets and … Continue reading FreePBX modes
We returned from holiday a little while ago -- we spent a week in Melbourne to visit family and friends. While it wasn't Nicholas' first time on a plane, it was the first he was able to get involved in (being a couple of years older than his previous plane rides).He took to the plane amazingly … Continue reading Holiday
In case anyone is curious, here's a status update on my music library debacle. I finally got to a point where I had a what should be a clean copy of my music repository on my NFS drive, and I just had to point iTunes at the cleaned repository...I was resigned by this time to losing … Continue reading Music library status
All I wanted to do was change the mount point that my music was exported on. A simple change from one path to another on my NFS server. What I've ended up with is a total train-wreck -- my library is in a shambles. I'm sure that in the past when I've relocated the library all I … Continue reading iTunes library mismanagement
From the television-viewing public of Australia: We applaud your attempt to bring us back from BitTorrent by airing popular US shows shortly after their original US airdates. However, your gesture is hollow and insincere as long as you continue to treat us as having no intelligence to make informed decisions about our choice of entertainment.We do … Continue reading An Open Letter to Australian Commercial Television Networks
