I normally don’t respond to trolls, but sometimes - just sometimes - I feel the need to put the ignorant sycophant pigfuckers like Brandon LeBlanc in their place.
In addition to paying actors to fake buying notebooks, and complain about how Macs are a gazillion times more expensive than cheap, shitty, crapware infested shitboxes like AMD-based […]

After my last home server project ended with tears, I decided that my next system was going to be somewhat smaller, portable, use significantly less power and have no more than four or five drives.
However, money has been somewhat tight for me of late, and I’ve had to make do with no home server to […]

When you can’t copy your competitors’ shit well enough, and your latest product is perceived as a joke by the public at large, then it’s time to do the ol’ IBM marketing strategy of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.
First, Ballmer fired a warning shot off the bow by stating Macs are too expensive, then their marketing […]

Note: This posting has a bunch of links to sites trying to sell you shit. I’m not trying to advertise anything, but just to show the sort of prices floating around. If the notion of linking to a shop’s website is offensive to you, go and fuck right off then you may wish to skip […]

Preface: Just so you know, this article has an intentionally sensationalist title. I don’t pretend to know what Steve Jobs cares or doesn’t care about, and it’s really not the point of this blog posting.

There’s been enough MacFaggotry on this site for most people to stomach, so lets get back on the other side of the fence for a bit and discuss one of my other favourite subjects - Windows Home Server.
As you all know, I participated in the beta of this thing, and wrote a couple of articles […]

Update: Okay, looks like 10.5.2 now allows you to setup AirDisks for Time Machine again, so my bitch about Time Capsule is a moot point. Now I just have to stop myself from getting that RAID enclosure…Hay guys, y’know that thing about 10.5.2 fixing AirDisks for use with Time Machine? Well, it was all a […]

Hey guys, y’know that review I was planning to write for Dennou Coil this week?
Well.. something has kinda come up in the meantime, and I’m going to be a bit distracted by it, so you’ll need to wait a little longer. What came up, you ask? Well.. it’s this.

Go check out the hardware page for […]

I 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, […]
