  1. Wow, New York seems quite bleak for summer. http://nskyc.com Yes, I'm aware of how weird weather criticism sounds coming from a Melbournian.

  2. Every time I see the female "no display pic available" image on @facebook I assume it's Darth Vader's silhouette.

  3. I'm finding my relationship to Haskell to be similar to that of an ex who refuses to let go and move on. #FML.

  4. What we deal with on an almost daily basis: http://t.co/DTIz5jb

  5. At the front door after a night out http://post.ly/2Ehds

  6. Dear world, THIS. IS. OSTRAYA (australia): http://youtu.be/Da1OBE2dmeo

  7. #ICanHas webapp to trace API connects between services & lets you switch off chain reaction notifications at key points to prevent meltdown?

  8. Ugh *facepalm* I can't believe my 1000th tweet was a sexually ambiguous statement about @dicka_j http://t.co/0VUhkVO *double facepalm*

  9. interesting idea. what kind of hardware would you use for this setup?
  10. Refined the author name fixing algorithm on the website even more. Hooray for sanitising decades old data stores with regular expressions!

  11. I have a spare 1U rack and have: iPhone 4 iPad 2 Onkyo reciever HTPC/PVR (running XBMC and Windows Media Centre on Win7) Dell Laptop that dual boots OSX and Win7 PC that dual boots OSX and Win7 Plus work provides me with some flavour of the month Android phone or tablet... All of which will have to save/stream data off the server wirelessly or over gigabit LAN. Running bonjour emulation for streaming to apple devices on ubuntu's piss easy. I need a central server to run GIT so I can use it as a repository for my code. I need OSX to make my Apple Apps. I need windows for my Android Apps and webapps and everything else. Anyway, I was more hoping for some feedback on the hardware combo. Will the 350 Fusion cope with the load? Is it the best hardware setup for an intelligent NAS? Low power usage is also good as it runs 24/7. Or should I go with a sandy bridge mobo and an i3? The mobo runs at 35W and supports 5 HDD's in SATA3, not that I'd ever max it out using 5400RPM or 7200RPM drives. I can either RAID5 em or ZFS it. ZFS is much more efficient. RAID5 is easier.
  12. You can compile it as part of Ubuntu's kernel. Problem?
  13. Hehe, @ScrublyClean you guys should amend that signup form from "it only takes 2 seconds" to something a bit longer. #lifehackerborkedmysite

  14. So I'm thinking of getting an Asus E35M1-M (AMD 350 Fusion) and 5 2TB SATA 5400RPM drives in a ZFS pool, chucking it all into a spare 1U rack with a picoPSU and 4gb of RAM, turning off the video and using it as a torrenting/avahi(bonjour)/fileserver running Ubuntu server. Will it work?
  15. Caught the pilot episode of Franklin & Bash. This show is definitely relevant to my interests. Kinda reminds me of the team at work :P

  16. Just putting this out there: If you get stuck in a loop on penguin.com.au looking at books, like videos on youtube, then you are "plooping".

  17. In the name of literacy, I solemnly swear to adhere to this advice: http://heyb.ru/mc3wX8

  18. Ooer http://heyb.ru/kdA5EY getting a fair bit of traffic due to Noam Chomsky trending on twitter. Sweet!

  19. Phase 2 of Penguin site starts tomorrow. Froffing at coolness we've lined up for Phase 3. For now, celebratory drinks for Phase 1 completion

  20. did anyone manage to get one of those HP microservers that went for $199? Spewin I missed out.
  21. corporate machines yo. I have a Mac Pro for my app and web development, but I still have an oldish PC for testing and PC related stuffs... like email and all that.
  22. compared to 5400rpm HDD thats 2 years old running at a max throughput of 500Mbips? lol u sure? It's more about the load time of apps for me anyway. That plus moving the video to a dedicated card instead of shared RAM used by onboard should make a huge difference. lol not like its my money anyway
  23. Just bought a MSI ATI Radeon 5550, a SATA 2 PCI Express Adapter to chuck the old HDD and DVD ROM on, and a 60gb Corsair Force SSD for work. IT is taking forever to get me a faster PC so I'm just gonna use the marketing department expenditures account to upgrade the PC. This will be all stealth so as far as they're concerned it's still the same PC, but I'll just be running the OS and apps off SSD Should make things a fair bit faster hopefully.
  24. lol from experience the kits sold by viva need a prayer, a kilo of bog and a sledgehammer to come remotely close to fitting. pay the $500 and be done with it.
