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… 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 [...]
Hi All… I just received this email… Some may have seen it before, and I could’ve just forwarded it to people, but rather than forwarding an email that’s already been forwarded at least 6 times, complete with the email addresses of everyone involved, I figured I’d post it up here. A co-worker got a pen [...]
(Update 20080211: During an upgrade of my blogging software, I accidentally lost the photos of the shower… I’ve since taken new ones, of the portable shower, and the new in-house installation. Click any photo for a larger image.) Those of you in this part of the world, will probably know about the massive water shortages [...]
Hi All… I’ve just got back from a rather relaxing weekend. Where was I these last few days? Well, rather atypical behaviour for a geek like myself, I ditched the laptop and other I.T. parafenalia, packed up the car, and headded across to Queen Mary Falls, just outside Killarney. This was a basecamp organised by [...]
I just had a rather amusing email… two in fact, come right out of the blue. Not from a relative or friend… but from a webapp. A few years ago, I developed a very simple and crude webapp called LANPlanner. It was dodgy, it had lots of rough edges, it was coded in about 15 [...]
Hi All… I know many of you are in the web development and security arenas… I figured I’d throw this idea up for everyone to have a look at. Authenticating users on a website can be quite a challenge at times. Sometimes, HTTP Basic authentication is all that’s required, re-sending the password with each request. [...]
Financial types wonder why we simple folk find the stock market confusing… Well… it’s little wonder when organisations like Kitco make confusing statements like this… Hmmm… yes fellas, make up your minds.
Hi All… At the moment, stresses are running high. Exactly why, I’m not sure, but it seems everyone is on edge. And I don’t just mean the Gentoo Development community — I mean elsewhere too. Everyone seems to be edgy for reasons I cannot fathom. I’m not going to speculate about what could be causing [...]
A federal jury in San Diego has ordered Microsoft to pay $1.5 billion to Alcatel-Lucent in a patent dispute over MP3 audio technology used in Windows. In its verdict, the jury assessed damages based on each Windows PC sold since May 2003. The case could have broader implications, should Alcatel-Lucent pursue claims against other companies [...]
