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 […]

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 […]
Apple lays the smack down with Leopard
8 Comments Posted by Jaymz, October 27th, 2007 in Everything/Nothing, Mac, Slice of Life, Tech, WindowsSo I just got my ass a shiny new Aluminium iMac in time for the great Macfag event that comes once every few years known as the OS upgrade time.

Taming Multiple Displays - Wallpapers and Vista
4 Comments Posted by Jaymz, June 19th, 2007 in Anime, Everything/Nothing, Slice of Life, Software, Tech, WindowsChalk this one up as one of those “Why didn’t I think of this sooner?” ideas. One of the biggest complaints with Windows Vista and multiple display setups is the issue of wallpapers. Especially if you’re like me, and have two displays of differing sizes - such as a 1360×768 (16:9) HDTV, and a 1920×1200 […]
