50 Reasons to Go Fuck Yourself
1 Comment Posted by Jaymz, February 20th, 2008 in Everything/Nothing, Mac, News, Slice of Life, Software, Tech, WindowsSeems to be a favourite topic of mine these days, but Chris Pirillo made the rounds in the intarweb e-blogging circlejerk crowd lately, over his somewhat padded (and overly sponsored) 50 Reasons to switch to OS X. This, of course, lead to the kneejerk reaction from some Windows fanboy to dispute his statements with even […]
What a Great Start to 2008
1 Comment Posted by Jaymz, January 21st, 2008 in Hardware, Mac, News, Software, TechUpdate: 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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

2 Comments Posted by Jaymz, April 22nd, 2007 in Hardware, 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 […]
Genuinely disadvantaged, or goddamn you Microsoft
2 Comments Posted by Jaymz, February 10th, 2007 in Software, Tech, WindowsUpdate: Microsoft support managed to assist in resolving this for me. Basically, it seems that while Activation considered me genuine, Genuine Advantage didn’t. Through a few troubleshooting steps, I’ve managed to get them both to agree with each other that I am not, in fact, a pirate after all. I’ve been downgraded to Orlando Bloom […]

My two word review of Ubuntu Linux
6 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 […]
