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 after dicking around with […]

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 […]

The 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

So, my old trusty work phone died on me last week. It wasn’t anything special as far as phones go - It had no builtin camera, no MP3/WAV ringtone capabilities, or anything even remotely remarkable about it. The best thing it had was Bluetooth support, so I could synchronize my contacts on my MacBook […]

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 […]
