And no, I don’t have a bloody clue why blogger messes up the order of dates in nightly postings… Probably got something to do with timezones…
*edit:* Sent support query, fixed it promptly. And that for a free service. Ta!

I can post Desktops, too
![]() |
I had the idea of putting up a semi-random snapshot regularly. Unfortunately, not that much has been picture worthy recently. The weather is pretty drab, and I haven’t been anywhere exciting. So, to start off with a bang (ahem), here’s my desktop! Spot any or all the the following: el-cheapo DVD-player, Gamecube, coffee-cup with no coffee, auto-winding wristwatch that doesn’t autowind, Bluetooth headset, Griffin PowerMate, 5.1 amp, old-ish Sony Clié, two USB LED-displays, and various other stuff… |
2nd Place!
Got 2nd place in the Beyond3D / ATI Shader Competition!! 😀
huh?
Can someone tell me why iTunes 4.1 (on Windows) hogs port 53 (DNS)??? Really makes GameCube homebrew a bit difficult…
SMP Driver Woes
The new nVidia driver 52.16 actually fixes some problems: I no longer have NMI Parity BlueScreens when I use Gabest’s MediaPlayerClassic’s VMR9-Renderless mode (on my dual Athlon). Update: The unsigned driver fixed the problem; the WHQL-signed ones fuck up again. ARGH!
iTunes for Windows
Apple’s iTunes 4.1 is out for Windows as well as for MacOS. After having taken a look at it, I’ve got to say that it seems quite nifty. Too bad my iPod is acting up (FireWire disconnects seemingly randomly and I am unable to get a reply from Apple (and their Web-Form is broken))…
Enter Azureus
While I really like the concept of BitTorrent, the official client always hangs for me eventually (usually somewhen after 5 to 30min). I suspect it’s some sort of multi-threading / locking issue with Python (as I’m using a it on a SMP-machine). Thus enters Azureus, a Java-client, which seems much nicer anyway.
