Thanks to bigkahuna on the Fritzbox forums (edit 30/4/16: now defunct) I found a working configuration to get OSX clients connecting to a Fritz!Box 7390 router’s VPN.
Before you start
Setup a dynamic hostname of some sort, this makes it so you don’t have to keep working out what IP you connect to. Dyndns.org is a good supplier. Configuring that is outside the scope of this article, but from my experience it’s been just a case of enter the details and it works.
[Read More]So, RMB’s had a pair of the beautiful Samsung 931B’s for a few years now. They’ve been quite reliable until recently, when one started flickering on and off.
This actually had been happening for a month or two, and if you turned it off then back on again all would be good. Eventually this turned into just plain not working - acting like someone was just tapping power all the time. As this started, the other one started flicking on and off periodically.
[Read More]Here’s a cool video from Pro Rancher about making your own brand. Can’t say I’ve got a use for one, or the tools to weld one up, but I want one!
[Read More]I got linked to this video the other day and I can officially say that my brain just crawled out my ear. The video’s a very very simple way of seperating eggs, something I’m sure some protein-sucking egg-yolk hating friends of mine will love!
[Read More]Check out http://www.sccm-tools.com/ in Google Chrome. I’m not quite sure how it works just yet, but it’s certainly spectacular. Every second or so, it grabs a gradually larger and larger request in a runaway fashion.
I have a feeling it has something to do with storing the state of the page or something in its source, but wow. After three minutes, it’s doing 60KB/s.
Want to know how I found this? I left it open for a few MONTHS on my work PC and showed up as an incredibly huge user of bandwidth. Whoops!

Love is…
Brad Pitt spent nearly USD $400k to build a shooting range/armoury for Angelina Jolie, at the couple’s Miraval estate in southern France, according to The Sun.
A source said: “Brad had a lot to live up with his wedding gift considering Angelina exchanged vials of blood with her ex-husband Billy-Bob Thornton.
“And by letting Angelina de-stress at the range, he’s less likely to get earache indoors. There’s a lot to be said for that when you have six kids.”
[Read More]In Queensland we have the PTA, and in America they’ve got the Form 4473. Both do similar things - keep a record of firearms transactions. The American National Shooting Sports Foundation has produced an overlay for this form, which makes it easier for people to complete the form correctly.
They’ve just released a new version of the overlay which suits the newly updated version of the form 4473 in the United States.
I wonder if this is something that could be useful for Queensland firearms dealers? I suppose there aren’t that many, so they’ll be proficient in helping people complete their Form 28’s. Something to think about anyhow.
[Read More]If you’re a property owner or landlord who needs to disable a lock without having to contact a locksmith, I’d say LockKill would be a fantastic solution to the problem.
With a simple design which covers the two main locking mechanisms on the market, it secures itself into the lock by working with the mechanisms that are our normal pin-and-tumbler locking systems. Once in there, it’s almost impossible to remove without professional tools (or destructive measures) and there’s even a small section cut out of the bow of the key which allows for instant and clean removal of the key head.
