If you are using o2 Broadband and are techie you’ll have noticed the DNS performance is terrible. Thanks to the folks at ADSLGuide.org.uk I have found out about OpenDNS.
They’ve even created some easy guides for each OS you may be using. Good luck.
Ha,… imagine Danny and myself beavering away, without a clue whether or not it would work.
Two weeks later I found out that there is somebody else who has done is successfully and has even posted a tutorial online for everyone to follow. Excellent.
I’ll post pictures of our handy work shortly.
Testing the iPhone WordPress app to blog from the road. Needless to say I wish I’d had this on my trip around the west coast of the United States last year.
I particurlarly like the way it downloads all reference data for you like categories and previous posts.
The good people at http://www.symfony-project.org have released Symfony 1.1.
Presetcentral.com is using Symfony 1.0, but I suspect I’ll update the appropriate bits in due course to work with 1.1.
Good news all round :)
The time has come to bid farewell to Paradise. Lots of happy memories, meals and friends. Until next time.
Seems Coppermine is proving too much for me to keep patched… as a consequence our server has suffered a series of injection attacks.
I’ll be taking the photos offline and will replace it by some other gallery system.
So let me get this right… in this BBC segment 6 clips of motorists speeding are shown, two of which end up in horrible crashes. According to the presenter this is because the motorists spotted the Police camera vehicle and “jammed on his breaks”.
Do I need to point out the obvious?
Once again I find myself blogging about something I spent way too long having to hunt down. Listed below is the download for Sony’s Vaio Zone software. In particular this is for the full install of Vaio Zone, not just the upgrade. :)
Why is this such a big thing?! If, like me, you have been trying to find this download on the main Sony website you’ll know why. Its impossible to find! :)
Enjoy!

Once again… hoping this will save somebody lots of time of hunting around. It seems there is a bug in Java that prevents the installer from launching.
It currently produces the following error message when launching the installer:
java: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock’ failed
See this tutorial for details on how to resolve the problem:
I’m posting this hoping that is will save somebody several wasted hours of effort.
Do not use the original DBDesigner4 download available on the fabForce.net website. Instead download the dbdesigner-fork package from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbdesigner-fork/
Once you have unpacked it. Edit the bin/startdbd_using_kernel2.6 script and remove the assume kernel 2.4.1 text:
Original file contents: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./Linuxlib/ ./DBDesignerFork
Edited contents: LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./Linuxlib/ ./DBDesignerFork
Save it and run it. It should all work as expected on Linux Fedora 8 or indeed any other modern distribution like Ubuntu, etc.
