Sheeep

I’ve been using robotsbuildrobots.net as my personal email domain for a few years, but I’ve never actually done much with it other than that. I did run a photoblog on here for about a year, but that kind of died out after the old hosts (netweaver.com - more about them another time) had a server […]

Stupid Netweaver

I mentioned netweaver in my previous post; I’m going to have a bit of a bitch about them. That’s what blogs are for, right?
I originally registered robotsbuildrobots.net with them a few years ago, mainly because it was cheap. Turns out you get what you pay for though, because they weren’t the most stable of […]

Floating licenses are annoying

Licensing Autodesk apps like Maya, Motionbuilder, and Max is an absolute pain in the arse.
Everytime I have to move a license or request a new one, I get that uneasy feeling that you get when you *know* you’re about to get screwed over and there’s nothing you can do about it. The maintenance fees […]

Oh God why won’t it just work

( mac and os x and phones and m600i )

I bought a Sony Ericsson m600i on the cheap a few months ago in Singapore, and I’m really happy with it; it’s probably the best phone I’ve ever used. There’s no camera on it or any of that bollocks, it’s got a full keyboard, full web browser, RSS reader, plays simcity etc, you can get […]

‘Hi, I’m for new media wankers…’

( mac and os x and internets )

.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }
.flickr-yourcomment { }
.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }
.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }

Noticed this ad on the tube this morning and thought I’d post it here since it’s not on the Apple UK website yet. Looks like Apple UK felt the need to make a British version […]

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory 2.60d universal released

( mac and os x and work related )

Ttimo at id has posted an update to the os x client, patch & full build torrents here:
ET-OSX-2.60c-to-2.60d.dmg
Wolfenstein ET.2.60d.dmg
Should fix any punkbuster issues. Will have a crack at this over the weekend I think!

Apple finally posted the ads

( os x and apple )

Whoops! Mitchell and Webb mac ads here. Not really any better than the american versions to be honest.

How bad at bowling?

( bowling )

.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }
.flickr-yourcomment { }
.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }
.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }

REAAL BAAD. Turns out Wii bowling skills don’t translate to real life. At all.
