Fedora 11: why so poor?
No, I’m serious. Dual booting. OpenWRT router. Visa laptops connect via WPA2 fine. Fedora11 fine, until I install some updates. Boot back into Vista for a few days. Go back to Fedora, no connection. I don’t care what the problem is anymore. I’m not sure I care about Fedora anymore. I know you are thinking…

Serinity?
So Channel9 has decided to broadcast Serenity at 8:30 on Saturday nights? What has it been? 7 years? How long will it last? Dr. Quinn meets the new Battlestar? only 7 years too late. I guess I could care if CH9 was more than a casino holding company.

Why do companies bother?
When you buy products from many IT companies you usually have to register. This will include telling them stuff like you email address and usually what country you are in. Often they require a lot more in the name of “serving you better”, right. Do they ever actually use this information in a way that…

Building kqemu
qemu is enough to run tinycore without acceleration, but more is better right? Get the source: kqemu-1.4.0pre1.tar.gz $ tar zxf ../Downloads/kqemu-1.4.0pre1.tar.gz $ cd kqemu-1.4.0.pre1 Edit Makefile.winnt, change CROSS_PREFIX=i386-mingw32- to CROSS_PREFIX= then apply the patch from here: $ patch -p0 ../../Downloads/kqemu-mingw.diff patching file `common/Makefile’ patching file `common/genmon.c’ patching file `common/i386/monitor-win32.ld’ patching file `common/i386/monitor_asm.S’ patching file `common/i386/nexus_asm.S’…

Building qemu for a change
I’ve played with qemu on and off for as long as I can remember (and I remember struggling with Bochs on DEC OSF/1). These days life is Vista orientated for work reasons and by and by I’ve ended up with win32 as my main development environment, even when I work on GTK+ code (the beauty…

Why is TopGear Australia soooooo bad?
I keep wanting it to be good. But really, what’s the point? I guess we have to just accept our market is small. A show concept built around general competence, interest and goof factor is always going to suffer when all you have is low budget goof factor.

Bunker blues
We have a roughly weekly work golf game that travels between the public courses in the Illawarra. With good coastal rains this late summer, the grass has been the best for a long time. Sadly one feature of the Illawarra courses always disappoints. Bunkers! Sadly the sand is often the coarse local beach variety. The…

Sydney Festival Wands Are Cool
ANZ Bank apparently handed out 40 000 of these wands during the first night of Sydney Festival this year. I wonder what is inside one…..

Desire
Boxing day sales today. As a husband, my job is mostly to hang around and carry things, prefereably not wandering off. During the interminable queues for access to the fitting rooms the husband has to find something to do. And since he is standing in the ladies apparel department, he needs to be somewhat circumspect.…
