Okay.. nevermind. Everything I said that was bad about WHS? It’s worse on this thing.

It seems that whenever I try access anything for extended periods of time, the NAS box just drops off […]
Drives gone wild: Another WHS Success story
2 Comments Posted by Jaymz, April 22nd, 2007 in Hardware, Home Server, Software, Tech, WindowsNot 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 […]
Windows Home Server: Not just for Joe User
1 Comment Posted by Jaymz, March 11th, 2007 in Hardware, Home Server, Tech, WindowsSo 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.

My two word review of Ubuntu Linux
22 Comments Posted by Jaymz, November 4th, 2006 in Hardware, Linux, Software, TechFuck Ubuntu.
A word of warning if you’re like me, and own a Dell notebook. Do not install any version, variation or anything related to Ubuntu on it. It WILL fuck your machine good and proper.
What am I talking about? The as-of-yet unfixed bug number #43745 in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu which corrupts the real-time […]
Apple vs Dell: When notebooks collide
5 Comments Posted by Jaymz, October 16th, 2006 in Hardware, Mac, Tech, WindowsI haven’t really mentioned this on the site, except the update on the hardware page, but a little over two months ago, I bought myself a notebook. A Dell Inspiron 640m, to be exact (which you may know in the US as the Inspiron E1405). I primarily got it as a portable media & Windows-based […]
It’s been a long time, baby
0 Comments Posted by Jaymz, September 2nd, 2006 in Everything/Nothing, Hardware, Mac, News, Slice of Life, Software, Tech, XboxOh hay.. this site’s still here. I guess I’d better actually post some crap in the unlikely event I actually receive viewers.
So.. what’s been going on since the past two months I’ve posted here? Well, the Conroe came, saw, and kicked some ass. ePenis forum posters rejoiced as they tweaked like mad to get the […]
Sechsbox 360: Bump mapping at its finest
2 Comments Posted by Jaymz, June 18th, 2006 in Games, Hardware, Software, TechI decided to pick up a few games for Xboxen over the past couple of weeks, so I thought I should offer some insight into how that went.
Before that, I’d just like to mention a few things about the system. The coolest thing is the whole interface, and community deal. Ultimately, the Xbox 360 is […]
Obligatory “I bought an Xbox” post
0 Comments Posted by Jaymz, June 4th, 2006 in Games, Hardware, Tech, XboxI really haven’t much to say right now, but I do need to make the occasional post on here sometimes, to ensure I’m not completely alienating the one or two people who occasionally visit (myself included in that figure).
So yeah.. I bought an Xbox 360 last week. The not so immensely massive upgraded version of […]
Holy shit, it’s another Mac mini CPU upgrade post
8 Comments Posted by Jaymz, May 9th, 2006 in Hardware, Mac, TechSo.. by my count so far, this makes it the third CPU upgrade story since the Mac mini came out.. or fourth if you count the mysterious guy on some mailing list, who claims he has a Merom and it works flawlessly in the mini.
I’d just like to first state that doing this is a […]
