This is the second time I'm watching Jet, first somewhere in the Valley in Brisbane. Still as entertaining and not so full on. Quite a chilled out gig. If you watch them, drink lots of beer. Taken ‎"Tuesday, ‎19 ‎June, ‎2007, ‏‎1:25:30 PM"? Hmm, that didn't make any sense, maybe the phone's timezone is off again. Silly windows mobile. Well, I had the phone serviced and flashed the ROM with Windows Mobile 6 sometime after this shot was taken.

Recorded in Brisbane using my Korg N5 and computer sequencer. This features pictures taken of the National History Museum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DKOXwANgUE Naturally when I say recorded, I mean its written then as well. I just record whatever improvisation comes to mind at that time.

My windows machine is now Vista. Why? After the failed installation of Office 2007, installed as an upgrade from Office 2003, I was unable to create any more charts in Excel. Apparently there is no fix for this and no matter how many un-installations and installations of Office you do after that, or muck with the registry files, its not going to come back to life. The solution, backup your data, reformat and install Vista. The vista performance index of my Dell Latitude D620 N series is 3. Although it is quite capable of running all the Aero stuff. that gave me a bit of a headache, so I set it to max performance and put all the classic features. So far, the major downsides to Vista apart was with the live search (which of course doesn't find anything) and also live messenger. Coincidentally, both tools have the word Live in it, so maybe its the same bunch of people with another different installation of windows. Anyways, not going to go through the whole hassle of another re-instal...

This is actually the name of a default patch on my pod xt live effects pedal. I was testing it out and recorded this while I was at it. The photos were taken from a nature walk further down from the gold coast at Burleigh heads. For a nature walk, there was sure a lot of rescue craft about, lifeguards, boat and even a helicopter. Must be rather safe if the sharks don't get you first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj_GjDmbn0g

To install Firefox 2 and JRE 6 on FC6, I downloaded both the self extracting files for both Firefox and JRE. The correct version of JRE to use is the i586 version as it contains the plugins directory needed for Firefox. Installing Firefox2 Download the self extracting file and extract the files into some program location, I used /usr/local/firefox. # mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/binfirefox_1.5 Try launching via terminal. To fix the libstdc++ error refer to this link , basically the steps are # yum provides libstdc++.so.5 # yum -y install compat-libstdc++-33 After that is done, click on the browser shortcut and it will prompt you to look for the new firefox executable, select the new firefox file, i.e. /usr/local/firefox/firefox. To install the JRE; Go to the JAVA directory # cd /usr/java/ Copy the file you downloaded from Sun to the JAVA root dir for extraction. # cp /home/username/Desktop/jre-6u1-linux-i586.bin ./ # sh jre-6u1-linux-i586.bin Create the softlink for Firefox # cd /usr/local...

This is how to use openvpn via an ssh tunnel via http proxy on windows to create a network route between 2 LANs or for you to access your office computer directly from home. I'm using Windows at the office and Linux at home. You will need Openvpn 2 and putty for this. This is theoratical and should not work, however for some reason you decide to try this and have it work, Let me know. However if you publish your openvpn service on port 22, this should have no issues. Just skip the following ssh step. To start ssh tunnel with putty. make sure that the http proxy is configured with a keepalive and in the SSH section create a new rule that uses L1194 localhost:1194 The server command you can run on your linux box at home: openvpn --port 1194 --proto tcp-server --dev tun --comp-lzo --ifconfig 10.1.0.2 10.1.0.1 The client command you run on the workstation in the office is: openvpn --remote localhost 1194 --http-proxy your.proxy.name 8080 proxy.txt --http-proxy-timeout 5 --dev tun --pr...

Although its been a month or so since I received my AMD 64 3200+ and DFI LANparty UT nF3 Ultra-D from a friend, I'm still only setting it up and breaking it in. One of the first few questions I tried to figure out was what operating system are I going to load in it or rather what was the best OS around to use on it. So, I decided to try a few after buying a few more parts for it. I bought a ASUS AGP Nvidia 7600 GS Silent (no fan) and a couple of 320GB SATA drives with the Gigabyte 550W power suppy and centurion 5 case with 1GB PC DDR 400 memory. The first OS I decided to try was Vista, after all it was the latest and greatest right? Well, it installed no problems, and I even liked the new Windows movie maker that can with it. Yes, some "WOW". My PC scored a 4 on the Vista performance scale. Not too bad, with the CPU having the lowest score of 4. And more WOW, the sound didn't work. Yes, there were no drivers for it and when I went to the Vista site to look for audio s...
