Melodic Power Metal here I come!

26Jan06

Only 93 hours until I’m in the craziest fuckin pit ever at one of the most insane shows ever. That’s right, DragonForce are coming to town! I reckon it’s gonna be even crazier than last time, or rather, I’m gonna make sure it is!
While most bands want to be bigger than Metallica,
DragonForce has [...]

Microsoft further scales back Mac plans
Finally they have realised the error of their ways and given up. Not only have they pulled the plug on WMP for Mac, also IE for Mac is going and Office is just hanging round like some loner with the introduction of iWork ‘06… hehe…

Thoughts on Apple

17Jan06

With the release of the new MacBook Pro and the new iMac (both with the new Intel Core Duo processors) I’ve been wondering what Apple will do next in terms of their shift to Intel from IBM’s PowerPC processors. The new MacBook Pro looks damn cool and there are some really neat little features [...]

What a banshee!

17Jan06

It was recommend that I try out Banshee by Oris as an alternative to Rhythmbox and was promised iTunes-esque and Amarok-esque features, which were duely delivered.  The main window is very similar to that of Rhythmbox (and iTunes in a sense) with only subtle differences which very much added to the experience, such as the [...]

Out of the bad habit

07Jan06

I’ve finally (with some help from Oris and a new network card) escaped the clutches of Windows in favour of the slightly more wonderful Ubuntu.  I’ve been aching for it for ages and now that it has finally happened, it’s just as good as was promised, if not better

Web-Based Linux?

04Jan06

The recent posts by ZDNet blogger George Ou on the topic of desktop Linux made me wonder whether there is a real Web-based Linux service?  My search uncovered a number of Linux-flavoured ‘virtual desktops’, but one particular Web-based Linux service caught my eye.  Called Workspot, it’s a non-profit project that promises “a private, instant Linux [...]
