I’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 […]

So 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 […]

So 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 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 […]

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 […]

So 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. While everyone’s writing about the fancy pants Time Machine, or the multiple desktops Spaces offers, or the fact that the Finder kinda sucks a little […]

So I was hoping to write awesome awesome stuff on here, create that integrated forum system for all the old ausanime.com refugees, and other assorted crap.. but something kinda got in the way of all of that.
See you guys next year or something. :v:
:bandwagon:

Chalk 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 […]
