How to overburn a CD/DVD in OSX

Wed Mar 25 12:45:48 2009

This post on Chris Duran's blog explains how to overburn a CD or DVD on a Mac, given that neither OSX's built in Disk Utility nor Roxio's flagship burning software 'Toast', support it. Cheers Chris.

Apple? Thecus? Well someone's crap

Mon Feb 18 10:38:18 2008

So you spend vast sums on a Thecus N5200 Pro NAS RAID box with a view to making a resilient backup of all your donkey porn DVD rips and stuff, and partitioning it into a single vast RAID array takes 16 HOURS. But then you discover that NFS / CIFS / SMB don't allow certain characters in filenames, and whilst investigation alternatives (AFP among them at this stage) you discover iSCSI.

I sincerely hope this will just go away when I upgrade to Leopard some time soon after tomorrow, but it's bugging me anyway because it don't make no sense.

Solstice not only at Stonehenge, but all around the world

Wed Jun 24 12:25:40 2009

Blogs::Simon

The majority of the follow-up postings I've seen about the solstice at Stonehenge have been talking about the amount of litter left behind by the so-called "Neo-Pagans" and "Earth-Lovers". Hmmm - I suspect the majority were plain old partygoers with not much concept of paganism or earth-loving. Even the "official" druid contingent had a hard time getting into the circle for the dawn ceremony, as it was packed with people. Next year, flaming swords wielded by Arthur's Loyal War Band might be the answer... However, one link I've seen leads to a set of pictures of other solstice celebrations around the world, where things are handled rather better it seems.
