the difference that is no difference makes no difference
Well it’s been about a week running Lenny and its mostly all good. But I found one program had a problem with it. Interestingly it was a program I wrote myself. It’s this C based program that opens multiple download threads … etc. My most recent version seemed to run fine on Etch … but […]
So my Debian Etch based server has been ticking along for a while now. I chose Etch over lots of other distros as I don’t like loads and loads of updates. I just want something reasonably stable and reasonably up to date. However, recently I tried to upgrade the non-free adobe flashplayer plugin to 10.something […]
Well I finally got an App out the door and it’s sitting on itunes. I think one person has bought it!!! Wow. One person has already complained about it too (I think there must be people that just trawl itunes looking for things to complain about). I don’t think he bought it. It’s a pretty […]
So I bought an iphone. I’m not really the type that needs a smartphone, but I’d been reading all the hysteria about zillions to be made by selling apps on the Apple app store and being the type that is easily misled, I thought I’d have a go at this iphone development. Besides, I’d been […]
Well, after my mad dash to port my procedural C program to a very basic Cocoa App in Xcode, I had a look at the code and thought ‘what a mess’. So, given that I’m trying to learn to program for the Mac, I thought I would start rewriting the entire app using Objective C […]
In my spare time I like to program. Usually in C … which a lot of people find bemusing. My rationale is I spent my teenage years hacking assembly code on systems like the Amiga, so moving to C is like moving to a ‘high level language’. I never quite hopped on the Object Oriented […]
For a long time now, I’ve used an old (black) xbox running XBMC as a media centre in my lounge room plugged into the TV. I just stream content to it, so it only has a little hard drive in it. Cost-wise its hard to beat, and XBMC has been updated enough over the years […]
I’ve been playing around with TV tuner cards, Tivo’s and general PVR funcionality for a while now. Here in NZ, the free to air channels have only quite recently started broadcasting in digital, so most of my devices are analog. The digital Free To Air stuff (called Freeview here just like the UK) is broadcast […]
After my recent hard drive failure, someone suggested I go to the seagate website and type in it’s serial number to see if it was still under warranty. Sure enough it was under warranty until 2010 (must have been a 5 year warranty). Anyway, I followed the instructions to RMA the drive, and wrapped it […]
So I’ve been using my Macbook for several weeks now with the keyboard in a somewhat bastardised form. To recap, the keyboard on my refurb’d macbook seems to work ok if I type slow, but is complete rubbish missing lots of keystrokes if I type fast. I took it to an Apple service centre and […]
