You really have to worry when reading a site called MacStories, and of all the posts in the last three or four days, there’s only two posts which aren’t about iP(a/o)ds.
Where’s the mac? I’m not a terrible Apple fanboi, but I do like OSX, and my Classic iPod. I’m not entirely sold on the iPod shuffle that I got given, but it’s little and free, so I’ll use it for running. But when I go to a site called MAC STORIES, give me stories about macs. You suck site, die.
[Read More]So, I’ve decided to do some exercise, and this time I might actually go ahead with it. This jogging thing isn’t terrible, and I’ve got a goal. The Old Cleveland -> Creek -> Stanley loop is my current one, and being able to do it at a slow jog without having to stop is the aim.
I bought a pair of shoes, Mizuno Wave Inspire 8’s, in a size 15. Quite comfy actually. I went for a jog, and when I had them done up too tight I got the terrible foot pain issues I’ve had in the past.
[Read More]So, it seems if you’re running a recent Ubuntu install (l/m/n/o initials) and you use Easy Install on VMWare Fusion you’ll have issues with keymaps. Up and down arrow, and a few other keys might play up too.
There’s a simple trick, run this from the console as an admin (sudo if you please):
dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
When it asks what kind of keyboard you have, hit “m” to select Macbook then hit enter. Keep hitting enter (or letter keys to select options, multiple taps on the same letter will scroll) and you’ll get your way through.
[Read More]Oblivion does not like two displays when it auto-detects and configures video settings on the initial game run.
When you load Oblivion again, it should start fine whether you have one or multiple displays active. It seems to be an issue with the way it detects multiple screens - I’ve seen mention that they try to use both screens in a weird multi-monitor see-everything mode.

[Read More]So.. hi.
Fuck explaining why I haven’t posted for a long time, just post it yale.
OK. So I went to the Powderfinger Sunsets Tour concert on 05/09/10 at the Brisbane Riverstage. It was amazing. It was emotional, I cried, I got soaked with rain, and I had a lot of fun seeing a band that I’d always enjoyed and I never thought I’d have a chance to see again - seeing as they are doing their farewell tour.

[Read More]One of the guys at work referred to the large hadron collider as “the big kaleidoscope” today and thus the large hardon kaleidoscope meme was born.
One of my earliest fault reports from this morning…
Description: user’s outlook wasn’t synchronising because user refused to follow instructions in error message and sync errors repeated every 20 seconds
Impact: no new mail and deleted items getting loaded up with sync errors
Cause: user didn’t read error messages and follow instructions
Sigh.
Update: Not five minutes after I posted the first one…
user’s mailbox is way over its limit - advised to clear it up and will stop getting messages saying it’s full. user claims to have received email saying his account would be closed - but had deleted it and cleared it (and only it) from the deleted items. over 50MB of other stuff in deleted items however. advised if gets message like this to NOT delete it before calling us.
