Sunday, April 6th, 2008Should you’ve passed by the last 48 hours or so, you might have noticed that my domain boschmans.net had been parked, and that you arrived on a meaningless advert page. My apologies for that, this was none of my doing.
So far I have not received an explanation from my website provider (I have been with [...]
Playing Mass Effect now
Monday, March 24th, 2008Woooo. It’ certainly captivating, making me loose a lot of sleeping hours.
A nice engaging storyline. Lots and lots of side quests, which let you beef up your armour, weapons and technique so the main quest runs easier. No rush except if you want to. Save when you want, almost, except for in combat (logical).
I do [...]
installer.app ‘main script execution failure’ & moving your Applications
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008Firmware 1.1.4
If you have moved your Applications to your mobile directory (/private/var/mobile/) you might have problems with your installer.app permissions.
Howto move your applications from your small root partition :
cp -r /Applications /private/var/mobile
mv /Applications /Applications.old
ln -s /private/var/mobile/Applications /Applications
CD into your now-moved Applications folder and do the following :
chmod +s Installer.app/Installer
chown -R root:wheel Installer.app
This worked for me. [...]
Messing about with the options theme
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Oooooh. This looks so cool, with so many bells and whistles, I just have to play around with this.
Please close your eyes, we’ll be back to normal soon enough. Perhaps.
Update : back to my old theme, for now. I just love 3-columns themes.
Upgrading Wordpress to 2.3.3
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008We live in a fast-changing world. For the past few weeks, I had neglected to upgrade to the latest version of Wordpress, and this suddenly came back to bite me in the behind.
I was wondering why suddenly, after all these years when I no longer require commenters to sign up first as a user, I [...]
What punctuation mark are you ?
Saturday, February 16th, 2008Hmmm. Not really what I expected ! I am intrigued as to the qualities of the “dash” so if anybody can tell me what the qualities are I’d thank you kindly for it.
You Are An Exclamation Point
You are a bundle of… well, something.
You’re often a bundle of joy, passion, or drama.You’re loud, brash, and outgoing. [...]
A great idea ?
Friday, January 11th, 2008Just got a great idea, or well, perhaps just an idea.
My son Sam, who is almost 2.5 years old, always wants to see animation movies (especially Wall-E) on my iMac. I can start them up for him, but sometimes he wanders into my computer den on his own and starts banging on keys to see [...]
Running again
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008Yesterday my wife started running again, the first time after the festivities. Inspired by her and my once-again bulging belly, I resolved to go running as well, so after the children were off to bed, I went out in the dark, windy and cold evening for a small 3 kilometer circuit. The last time I [...]
www.international-orders.com customer service is no good. In fact, it’s bad.
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007When I ordered my iphone I ordered it from the USA via the site www.international-orders.com.While the actual delivery was speedy, the follow-up was not. When I ordered it I didn’t want to take any chances with customs and taxes, so I payed to have it shipped out to me including prepaid taxes and customs duties [...]
Traffic jam without accidents
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007I always wondered about those traffic jams that have no accident to show for it - you just seem to suddenly slow down, stop, sit in a traffic jam and suddenly it dissolves without anything really to show for it.
Seems that the cause is a driver that brakes too suddenly, and this shockwave travels backwards, [...]
Unlocked iPhones from France are only for french SIM-cards !
Friday, December 14th, 2007Seems that the official unlocked iPhones you can buy in France are actually only unlocked for the other French carriers.
Beware, oh Ebay buyers !!!!!
Sad, sad, saaaad News.
Thursday, December 13th, 2007It’s very sad news that I read today : Terry Pratchett, 59, is suffering from a rare form of early Alzheimer’s disease. My favourite author who writes comedy zen books, or maybe zen comedy books is suffering from a Alzheimer’s disease, a neuro-degenerative disorder that progressively leads to dementia and eventueal death.
