A change in name

22 01 2010

So after many months of having no problems with the hostname hydrogen, it appears i have to change my servers hostname so i can get on it!!!

Some reason firefox(and god help me ie is not doing it) somehow thinks i am searching the word hydrogen and heads off to Wikipedia’s page on Hydrogen…So which leads me off to believe if i change my server’s name it all should work, if it doesn’t then im fuckedĀ  XD

Oh yeah this blog has a R18 rating for the swearing XD

*Update* OK so changed the server name, and it is now called synergy XD now how to pronounce it will be interesting XD





Just abit of ranting..

10 01 2010

OK so as i see it now, the idea of configuring your broadband connection from a “install” CD is just stupid, i mean why the hell would you do it! its just a flash thing with access to web browser it should just be called a “help” CD for all the idiots who don’t know how to configure it…when you can just either 1 of hopefully two ways:

1) Just get a link from telecom to configure your account for the firs time and then configure the modem/router with a few simple pages in the “manual”

2) Get Telecom to give you your user name and a temporary password which can be changed.

May sound very strange and wrong but fuck it!

oh well…Till the next time we meet…

GERONIMO!!!!

Then July came round and i started out at Natcoll, now in December im still enjoying the course, even though ive got a crap load of work todo in the holidays which im spending a week in Nelson so i’ll be without my computer :( need to get a laptop =P

Right now, we are doing Flash, im playing around with abit of actionscript and playing wtih FLiNT Particle System for Flash \o/

$18.98NZD for a 2GB Toshiba USB Flash Drive. Worth it, or not?

18 12 2009

So after long and careful thought (about a 5minute descision) i went and bought the cheapest USB flash drive i could get my hands on, turns out the cheapest was $19NZD at Dick Smith Electronics…Its a 2GB Toshiba MicroDrive which of course, was made in china \o/.

This was becuase Natcoll (where im studying) is doing a re-ghosting/reformating of all the machines on campus, which included the users partition. And naturally my tutor had to mention me to get a pen driveĀ  in an email he sent to the class earlier today >_< but to my luck, all my data on my users patition fitted on there (just!).

Oh well….

Till next time,
