I’m running Gentoo and Ubuntu Feisty on my MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo), and it just refused to resume after a suspend to ram. Let this be a note to anybody else going through the frustration that I was.
In /etc/default/acpi-support, I changed POST_VIDEO from true to false.

The new Banshee rocks. Not only does it do two-way iPod sync, but it also does cover art, iTMS (from a plugin) and Last.FM recommendations. I nearly forgot, it also does DAAP for sharing with iTunes over mDNS.

For a while, Jezza and I have been mucking around with the Melways maps from street-directory.com.au. We’ve been working out ways to actually make their web site much better than it currently is.

Shane and Kel came over last night and we walked down to the Queen Vic market, to test-drive their summer Night Market. I heard good stuff about it from Stretch, but it wasn’t really that good.
Most of the market is roped off, because they have stalls where you can buy beer and food (which [...]
I scored myself an APC Backup-UPS RS 500 the other day. It’s a small unit designed for running pretty much one machine on it.
The nice thing about this is that it has a USB interface which I have connected to my server hosting andybotting.com, and allows me to monitor it using apcupsd software. It [...]

Haven’t blogged for a while, so he’s a quick update of what’s been going on.
At work late tonight, helping out because of a function. It was supposed to be finished at 9pm, but it’s now 10:15pm and they’re still here. Let’s bring on the tear gas and tasers
We started getting pissed off with [...]
