Bushfire

June 28, 2010

Sweated my arse off in Darmstadt’s Golden Krone to take a few shots of these guys playing at the ‘Nonstock’ warm-up. Click on the small ones below to enlarge, or check out the full set on my Flickr account over here.

Adios, freebsd.cx

May 18, 2010

I’ve owned the domain ‘freebsd.cx’ for a number of years and it’s got a certain amount of history behind it that a few of you may remember. However, given CoCCA’s recent price hikes (50 USD a year!) and the fact that it’s now only used by a couple of people for email mean that I’m [...]

Itchy feet?

April 23, 2010

I can’t believe how quickly the last year has gone, but we (me and Rox) have made a decision to move back to the UK towards the end of summer and this week I handed my notice in at work. To be fair, the motivation wasn’t really the passing of time, instead there’s been a [...]

‘Minimal’ Solaris 10 and SunCluster 3.2 install in VMware Fusion

March 20, 2010

Following on from Dan’s how-to regarding the configuration of SunCluster 3.2 within VMware Fusion, here’s my additional notes on doing this from a minimal install (i.e core software group) so as to keep the size of the VMs down. First thing you’ll want to do is install some packages to make your life a bit less [...]

Married to the Sea

March 16, 2010

My good friend Greg and his cohorts, known collectively as ‘Married to the Sea‘, rolled into Darmstadt late yesterday to play an acoustic set at a locally (in)famous and unusual venue known as the Gute Stube. It offered an ideal opportunity to bust out the camera and test out some low-light shooting of which I’ve [...]

It’s about time – The Birth of Big Air

February 18, 2010

Finally – Mat Hoffman is being honoured by a documentary that covers his legendary status and contributions not just in BMX Freestyle but for extreme sports in general. I kind of feel like although he’s revered by most people who know about bike riding, he doesn’t always receive the wider recognition that he so badly [...]

FUCK SKATEBOARDERS

February 11, 2010

Naa, not really. But most people are only too aware of this whole “skateboarding vs. BMX” bullshit that’s been going on for some time now, brought to a head more recently by both sport’s popularity in the wake of the X-Games as well as irresponsible articles by the likes of Thrasher Magazine. As a direct [...]

My Hackintosh, one week on.

February 10, 2010

Hackintoshes have always seemed like way more effort than they’re worth to me. Custom kernels, problematic updates, random crashes, it all flies in the face of why you use an Apple operating system (and computer) in the first place. While I can appreciate the hacker aesthetic, I’ve never really had the inclination or patience to [...]

Excellent Italian Greyhound

February 9, 2010

Unless you’re a real dog lover (or you’re ultra bored), you’ll probably want to skip to about 2:50 for the appearance of the one and only Todd Trainer, Uffizi, and the rest of Shellac. : This video was embedded using the YouTuber plugin by Roy Tanck. Adobe Flash Player is required to view the video.

Bay Court Hotel, Anglesey

January 29, 2010

Went out for a drive today to blow the cobwebs from the S62 V8 as it’s stood unmoved for five weeks now, and we came across this place out in Benllech, Anglesey. Couldn’t resist snapping off a couple of shots, indeed I wish I’d had a bit more time to explore. I love derelict old [...]
