Geeking Out

Driving home from work today I stumbled on to a lot of somethings that made me laugh out loud over the beeping of my little friend. I decided to drop some tunes on my iPaq Media Companion so I could see how it worked with my ever-so-high tech tape deck player – and what to … Read more

I have been playing around with a bunch of news toys lately, and I have really become attached to my little iBook. OS X is sweet, it’s a fun little diversion from windows. My latest things is handheld devices, and designing the web to fit them. It is quite astounding really how many sites completely … Read more

I did it; I finally put the bullet in it. Windows Home Server is dead and buried, and Ubuntu is back running as my server. Little did I know…. I turned on my file server the other day to retrieve the software I had stored there; letting it run for some 5 odd hours or … Read more

So I decided I would upgrade my work machine to Office 2007 today. Boy, that was a great idea. First off, I should have known not to upgrade, but to perform a clean install.

Sans the Mary Jane. Actually I already have it, so I guess it should be "Dude, I got a Mac!", but then it wouldn’t be an accurate play on the old Dell ads would it? Any way…. It’s a PowerPC G3 iBook I bought off eBay for around $300, and it’s pretty swank. I have … Read more

I just couldn’t wait and had to make Dylan sit up in the office playing with some of my toys whilst I installed Home Server on my old machine. I’m not going to run off at the mouth on the home page for this one, but I have started my initial thoughts and impressions in … Read more

I just opened the mailbox, and what to my wondering eyes should appear? Besides it being partially full of snow plow snow? MAIL! Of course, and my Windows Home Server Beta kit! w00t! w00t!
