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. It’s really about the state of Apple support in Australia, or rather - the support you get, when attempting to […]

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, […]

So, as I aluded to in my previous post, I am the proud owner of a recently purchased, shiny aluminum iMac.
Sidenote: I also got off my ass, and finished replacing Saber with Mahoro - a 3GHz Core 2 Duo system, with a new P35 chipset board and an 8800 Ultra which sure enough, it runs […]

Okay.. nevermind. Everything I said that was bad about WHS? It’s worse on this thing. I don’t get the occasional pause or hiccup - I get complete loss of network connectivity whenever I use the thing. It seems that whenever I try access anything for extended periods of time, the NAS box just drops off […]

Not content with just 1.5TB, and a case poorly suited for the task, I decided to go on an upgrade spree. I’ve been meaning to make a dedicated fileserver for ages now, and when the Windows Home Server beta rolled my way, it only strengthened my resolve to get all those goddamn drives out […]

So it’s no small secret that I have a thing for Microsoft beta programs. One such program, that was announced a few weeks ago, is the Windows Home Server beta. Microsoft are essentially pushing this thing as all the cool technologies that geeks have had in one form or another for a while now, […]
