Limmy.com - err yes well, this is funny.

Ive done a Blogroll Me! badge/button/whatever. Feel free to download it. I copied the stye from AntiPixel

Is it just me, or does anyone else find Rendezvous for Apache in OSX 10.2.4 seems to dies sometimes. I restarted it yesterday, and I got back home tonight to find it doesnt work. I logged into my Mac with ssh and did

% sudo apachectl restart

Now its working fine. Hmm any ideas? Its done this a few times, but also has lasted for weeks. Very strange.

WARMONGER EXPLAINS WAR TO A PEACENIK - doesnt mention Australia in the list of allies though.

Phew, so much news today. This is a really good Flash interactive map of Iraq from the BBC.

From BBC UK. Bloody idiot, he says to get the troops out now, than changes his mind. How anyone can suggest removing the troops at this stage bemuses me. Whatever youre opinion of the war, you surely cant suggest pulling out the US/UK/Australian troops is a good idea. Especially considering the 300,000 Iraqis that Saddam slaughtered the last time we did that 12 years ago, and the fact that Saddam and his propaganda would see it as winning the war.
I know i promised to try not to mention the war, but some of the anti-war views are just crazy.

Dont forget, today is the first day of BST so put youre clocks forward 1 hour.

Graphica looks very nice.

This is my local pub.

The news in type. Interesting, whatever youre opinion on the Iraq war.

Lol.

Bio-IT World: Xserve, iPod simplify cluster setup.

Brooks also touched on the Xserve RAID, Apple’s complementary rack-mounted storage system with up to 2.52TB of storage capacity, and the newest member of the Xserve family, the Xserve cluster configuration — a special stripped-down Xserve model better suited for distributed computing applications.
…Until now, said Van Etten, scientists have often had to spend weeks or even months getting a distributed resource management system up and running to their liking — he offered a veritable laundry list of networking protocols, file systems, services and other technical minutiae that have to be manipulated and synchronized in order for a distributed computing cluster to work effectively. The combination has often proved frustrating for researchers who would rather spend time doing research and IT personnel who would rather spend time administering computer systems, but it’s a big part of the bio-IT business as evidenced by a number of vendors on the show floor besides Apple offering distributed computing hardware and software solutions.

This is VERY bizzare I found it here.

All went fairly well. I copied the whole of my old drive (16gig worth) to my new DP and replaced my new Home folder with my old one and my new System (OS9) folder with my old one. I did this my booting the DP in OS9 and then using target disk mode to mount my old mac on the DP using Firewire. I did this in OS9 as that means that the system will ignore priviledges specific to OSX.
After that, I booted back into OSX on the DP and voila my Macs back, yay! I just had to copy a few minor files from my old /Library folder to the new one and sort out a strange Classic printing problem, which was done by reainstalling the AdobePS drivers and my print drivers then all was sorted.
I did try briefly to boot into 9 (which remember is the OS9 System Folder from my old 700mhz Mac; working fine as Classic on the DP) but I got a flashing ?. I shall sort that out at some point but its not a major issue.
Final stage is to copy my colleagues files (G4 466mhz, one of the original graphite G4s) to my old 700mhz (Quicksilver) and all is done. I shall do this via Firewire again. Luckily they are on holiday next week so that makes this easier.

These are less than a mile from me Planetgnarly and OxygenKiosk.

Word X Experiment - ‘Disk Is Full’ bug on Betalogue.

i accidently dropped my ibook on the ground at work earlier this week.
Luckily it seems to have survived in one piece. Pheew.

It arrived about an hour ago, I was busy so ive only now just finished doing the system install and its now updating the OS. Ive not had much chance to play with it yet, but it seems considerably faster than my 700mhz Quicksilver its replacing (which i guess is obvious).
Next comes the fun task of copying all my files/apps from that 700mhz G4 to this new one. Im hoping I can connect my 700mhz in Firewire Targetdisk mode to the DP and then copy my Home folder and Apps and then just tidy up any misbehaving Classic apps (IE Quark 5).
The next stage is moving a coleagues files onto my 700mhz. Hopefully Itll all be done my Monday. Fingers crossed

See the leaflets here, the site is quite slow though.

From planetgnarly.com it apparently a new Nokia TV ad, its very funny anyway.
