I’ve decided there are too many fan pages for people I think it’s silly to declare yourself a fan of. The catalyst for me has been Christian leaders and teachers. These are good people [...]

Facebook - Too many stupid fan pages
Published July 28th, 2008 in Humourous, News, Personal and Recommended Reading. 0 CommentsI should have posted this a couple of weeks ago, but I didn’t get round to it. My good friend Mike Livingston is in Angola at present interning at a bush hospital. He’s been blogging about his adventures (and is a good writer). I recommend.
HP = Most wasteful packaging evar.
Published July 21st, 2008 in Humourous and IT Industry. 1 CommentI came across this story today on The Register, by way of Slashdot. (Yes I know I’ve been reposting a lot of /. news lately. It’s just been good news).
I absolutely believe the truth of this tale. Ingram Micro is terrible for excessive packaging, but HP really takes the cake on this one. The box [...]
Firefox 3 vs secure certificates and authorities
Published July 20th, 2008 in IT Industry and News. 7 CommentsI installed Firefox 3 the other week, and have to say I’m quite impressed. The memory leak issues are not fully resolved, but big steps have been made. (With certain programs like Flash and Adobe Acrobat Reader it’s still churning the memory for me. I compared with Opera 9.5, and that’s still more conservative.) Like [...]
US ISPs standing against child porn. Or not.
Published July 20th, 2008 in IT Industry and News. 0 CommentsSlashdot is reporting the news of an agreement signed between major American ISPs to block newgroups containing child pornography.
It would be better if the agreement wasn’t bull. Maybe they’ll help a little, but the reality is they could do things a lot smarter if they actually cared about child pornography. It seems they care more [...]
I came across an odd quirk in IIS today. It uses a feature called Socket Pooling to bind to all IP addresses on a machine, regardless of if any websites are running on those IPs. This effectively stops you from running Apache and IIS on the same machine, if you want them both to run [...]
iPhone working with Microsoft Exchange
Published July 16th, 2008 in IT Industry and Work. 0 CommentsI’m happy to say that we at TACF have our one iPhone updated with version 2.0, and have got it syncing with Exchange 2003.
Apple provide a document that offers a trivial level of assistance in setting things up. If you’re already using ActiveSync for other devices, then you’ll be working already. If you’re not using [...]
I feel quite a bit like that.

Words… = fail
A friend of mine just started a new blog, hit it up at jitabeat.com. He’s a very cool guy with immeasurably more DJ experience than I.
He posted the requisite “about blogging” post, yesterday. For my own records more than anything else, here’s why and what I blog:
- to empty my head (I think about too [...]
Those crazy boys of Ratatat have released a new album, their third, aptly named LP3. Altogether, it’s a blend of the Ratatat you love, with the Ratatat you’ve never heard. They’ve noticeably shied away from their hip hop influences, and have employed a bit more Spanish guitar influence, more eclectic percussion styles, and thrown in [...]
