Dennou Coil - Final Impressions
3 Comments Posted by Jaymz, January 14th, 2008 in Anime, Everything/Nothing, Respect Sakura, Slice of LifeSo as you all know, I promised to write a review on whatever people recommended to me in this posting. Unfortunately, the three names that cropped up out of that post were Yakikate Japan, Claymore and Noein. Now, Yakitate Japan fell under the defined rules of precisely what I wouldn’t be reviewing, in that it’s […]
Transitions
5 Comments Posted by Jaymz, January 9th, 2008 in Everything/Nothing, Hardware, Mac, Slice of Life, Tech, WindowsI think you can pretty much guess what the crux of this is going to be about, but as I love words so very, very much, I might as well subject you to them anyways.
When January 1st rolled around, I took a good look at where I was in terms with the platforms I use, […]
Reviews & Shit
10 Comments Posted by Jaymz, January 7th, 2008 in Anime, Everything/Nothing, Respect Sakura, Slice of LifeDespite being an anime themed site, there’s been quite a lack of any real anime content on here lately. In fact, there’s only been a grand total of one anime series review - and this was basically just the first episode.
Of course, this is all due to me being a procrastinating, lazy little prick. That […]
I Want It All
3 Comments Posted by Jaymz, January 7th, 2008 in Anime, Everything/Nothing, Respect Sakura, Slice of LifeSo I’ve hit the 1.6TB barrier, and I’m starting to desperately run out of hard drive space. I think I’m pushing my poor Home Server to its limits, as the sucker has 10 drives in it, and 1.6TB of data to spread evenly across those drives, whilst duplicating at the same time to avoid something […]
Rudd Labor Government Follows China’s Lead: Mandatory Internet Filtering
3 Comments Posted by Jaymz, January 1st, 2008 in Everything/Nothing, News, Slice of Life, TechI’m actually in the process of writing up a bunch of other shit, but I thought I’d take a break from that to rant a little about the latest piece of Grade A bullshit that’s come across my plate lately.
If you haven’t heard already, then check this out: The Rudd Government in Australia will start […]
It’s Been Three Weeks
0 Comments Posted by Jaymz, December 23rd, 2007 in Everything/Nothing, Linux, Mac, Slice of Life, Tech, WindowsSo as I’ve mentioned several times in the past, I’ve never been one to pigeonhole myself into a specific category of what platform I support - in the sense of Mac zealots, Windows fanboys and smelly Linux/xBSD neckbeards. I’ve prided myself on being above that, recognising that all these platforms have their flaws, and that […]

Update: It looks like there’s some issues getting this working properly under Tiger. I’ll try a fresh install of OS X 10.4 on my Mac mini/MacBook sometime this week, and see how things go.
Following in the tradition of the most visited, and linked to article on this site (despite the fact that it’s kinda crufty […]
Copyright Infringements
1 Comment Posted by Jaymz, December 1st, 2007 in Anime, Everything/Nothing, Mac, Slice of Life, TechSo I seemed to have gotten away with it the last time against Geneon, so I figured I’d give Apple a shot this time. Basically, I decided to make a nifty little Boot Camp icon for my Vista partition on my 20″ iMac, after not finding anything suitable on teh intarwebs.
So after dicking around with […]
State of the Sakura
2 Comments Posted by Jaymz, November 12th, 2007 in Everything/Nothing, Respect Sakura, Slice of Life, TechSo I took the opportunity to update the site’s backend again over the weekend. While I was at it, I implemented a couple of new things. First of all, registration’s back but with a Captcha plugin now (but registration is still not required for comments, nor is the captcha system implemented for that - I […]
Not A Fanboy
5 Comments Posted by Jaymz, November 8th, 2007 in Everything/Nothing, Linux, Mac, Slice of Life, Software, Tech, WindowsThe biggest problem with tech or platform communities nowadays is the whole community part of the equation. Take the Mac community, for example. OS X is a wonderful OS, and generally speaking, Apple makes great hardware. I’ve had zero issues with my original Mac mini, I love my new iMac to death, and I’d kill […]
