  • Prime (M)

    Ugh. What starts off as an excellent premise with a decent preview turns into drivel quick smart. Unfortunatly this movie does not live up to the hype or humor that the preview portreys. I’m going to be cynical and suggest that the preview was designed to enable women to be able to talk their guys…

  • Upcoming Intel Logos

    (Note: 15 March 2014 – removing links to now defunct albums page) Its always nice to see a company keeping it simple. Which is why I cannot understand WHY Intel is about to do (Note: 15 March 2014 – removing links to now defunct albums page). Their product line is a mess (from a consumers…

  • Audi S3 and the Wet.

    There is something about the rain that just makes the purchase of the Audi some 12 months ago worth while. While the weather may be crap for Spring (southern hemisphere here people) the rain does bring an added benefit, it shows off the delightful handling that the Quattro All wheel drive system brings, even if…

  • Off to the land of Google

    Well it is both sad and happy that I write that my mate Sean (http://ultri.cx) is off to the US of A to live and work at GOOGLE, DAMN! Congrats to him though, thats for sure!

  • Setting up SMTP and IMAP services on Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger)

    Setting up postfix was a little difficult as I am not familiar with the config file, but I got it going with the following options: #delay_warning_time = 4h mydomain = obvious myhostname = obvious alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = domainname_for_outgoing_mail mydestination = domains_you_accept_mail_for relayhost = if_you_need_to_relay_via_your_ISPs_mail_host:port mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/24 (aka, what…

  • BSD Ports : OS X : Upgrading Packages

    To upgrade all currently installed ports installed using darwinports on OS X the command you need to use is port upgrade -a I would run this after updating the ports tree / system itself, this is performed with port -d selfupdate

  • Font beautification on Ubuntu

    If you want nicer looking fonts on ubuntu and have most of the repositories installed may I suggest that you run sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts which will install the Microsoft Core fonts and make many things (like webpages) better than the defalt fonts installed.

  • Pure Blonde: From the CUB Development Labs

    Normally I am not a fan of beers from big multinationals such as Carlton United breweries, but in this case I intend to make an exception. (Note: 15 March 2014 – removing links to now defunct albums page) this beer claims to have less sugar than normal beer. This for me personally is probably a…
