The following is a satirical piece regarding the APEC saga last week. I’m considering whether I put it in vodcast form on YouTube for our dear PM — but for now, I’ll just put the transcript up. Well, it seems Sydney drew the short straw, and thus got the joy of almost completely shutting down [...]

The photos have been up for a little while, but I haven’t bothered to actually post the link to them. Brisbane has a fireworks event called Riverfire on an annual basis around this time each year. It fires off around various points of the Brisbane River that passes right through the CBD For the last [...]
This is an idea I’ve had for some time now, but only recently started doing anything about it. Anyway… The problem: As many of you may know, I study at university. Often the lectures and tutorials are on late at night. Thus, I frequently find myself making my way from or two university in the [...]
Well… I’ve had some interesting issues this week. Murphy must be looking down on me. O2: RM5200 CPUs with PROM 4.0 I recently purchased a RM5200 CPU module for my O2. Now, my O2 at the time came with a R5000 180MHz CPU, and had PROM rev 4.0. After handing across AU$100 on the new [...]
Well… if you looked at the number of commits I’ve done lately, you’d be forgiven for thinking I’ve been resting on my laurels for the past month. In some ways, this is true… but I’ll soon be doing a bumper crop of updates. KDE 3.5.7 Keywording I’ve been using this release of KDE for a [...]
Well, those who recall my earlier post… I’ve managed to get a VM going. qemu-mipsel ~ # emerge –info Portage 2.1.2-r9 (default-linux/mips/2007.0/cobalt/o32, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.18-4-qemu mips) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-4-qemu mips MIPS 4Kc V0.0 FPU V1.0 Gentoo Base System release 1.12.6 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 13:50:01 +0000 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: [...]
I’m in the process of installing Debian/MIPS on QEMU. Why might you ask? Well… the situation only came up just recently. It seems there is some interest in running Gentoo on the QEMU virtual machine. The catch: QEMU emulates a MIPS Malta board with a 4Kc processor — which implements the MIPS32 ISA (a superset [...]
Hi All… Figured I better let you know what’s happening from where I’m sitting, since it’s been a while. Mozilla Package Support on MIPS… For the past month or so, I’ve been faced with a few problems. Firefox 2.0.0.4 has decided to not compile, despite 2.0.0.3 working fine … It would appear I need to [...]
I’ve been doing little bits and pieces to help with our current global warming crisis. Okay, I know not everyone thinks there is such a problem, and indeed, they could have a point, but I’d argue cutting back on emissions is still a good idea, regardless what the weather is doing. A few months ago, [...]
Hi All… Here at uni (Room S825, S-Block, QUT Gardens Point) someone started a drawing of some penguins getting alarmed at a Windows Vista logo on one of the whiteboards. Over time, this little cartoon has evolved, and thus I figured I better get a shot of it before it disappears. It symbolises the battles [...]
