Mac OS X Tiger

Mac OSX Tiger r0×0rs your s0×0rs haha. That’s mplayer on OSX right there. Playing Josie and the Pussycats…it’s a kind of funny movie :) If you are having speed troubles with playing XviD on your mac, try compiling MPlayer from source . It worked for me. Was jumpy before, now plays smooth!

Altered the quick links corner to look more respectable. Also fixed the font in the quick links and resized it to be less obtrusive. In future I will probably replace it it with some sort of drop down box…save space.

DLink DSL 504G = FAIL!

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

Haha I just broke my DSL modem. Fried the firmware ;)
DLink DSL-504G - SNMP is broken in the latest couple of revisions (B18_ I think). So I went to downgrade. Now it’s been upgraded into a non-functional DSL-504G…YAY NOW I CAN RMA IT!!!!
