I recently installed a nice fresh version of Fedora 27 beta. Almost everything worked perfectly out of the box: Steam, VirtualBox, Master PDF Editor, my current favourite browser, “Brave“, that one Windows application I still use under Wine. Unfortunately there was one program that just wouldn’t start; cura. Cura is software for 3D printing that […]
You listen to The Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnite Cinema right? Of course you do. Anyone who doesn’t is a monster; a soulless damaged husk of a human being, a gibbering shadow, less than a man, a mere beast. Well, the gentlement have just put out their highly anticipated episode listing their favourite films of 2011. […]

Exactly one year ago today I bought an iRiver E150 MP3 player to replace my beloved E100 which had a cracked LCD screen. I’m fairly hard on technology in general, so over the years I’ve owned quite a few MP3 players, twelve devices total, of seven different models at last count, but none has ever […]

Wow. Thanks Fedora dudes! The Fedora 14 upgrade was possibly the easiest yet. After the horrible time I had upgrading last time, The version 14 upgrade was a dream!! DVD Media booted, and installed. Everything still worked, as far as I can tell. Of course shortly after the upgrade, a power surge blew up two […]
Some people think I’m strange for running Fedora as my primary operating system at home, but I’ve always liked it. The stuff I need to be stable is always rock-solid, and if there is a new feature in a program I use, I’ll get it a year before it goes into Ubuntu or RHEL. Poking, […]
Former rock-star and pervert of note, Prince has been recording and performing now for 30 years, the last 20 of which he has been completely irrelevant. We’ve known the guy was deluded for some time now, the best example being found on the highly recommended “An Evening with Kevin Smith” DVD. Now the Pint-sized Purple […]
Back in the good-old-days, Mother England used to deport perverts like this to the colonies. Nowdays, I spend myself thinking of ways to keep them out without inhibiting the flow of decent hard working Brittons to our fatal shores. Should the “shagger of the year” turn up on my doorstep, he and his smacked out […]

<MA>15+ Strong Language I’ve just stumbled across the most half-arsed, moronic assessment of why Internet censorshitp is good that I have seen in my life. Someone let Clive Hamilton out of his sheltered workshop for the criminally insane to post this garbage Let me start by saying I am not a fan of violent or […]

The REAL major is at it again. He does this every election, and his rants are always amusing (see them here), so below is the latest gab-fest between John-Wayne Witt (in the BLUE corner) and Major B.A. MacLaren (in the RED corner). It all starts with John-Wayne sending a pair of innocent enough links to […]

I always said Cat Stevens was a pervert of the worst order. Now he’s been arrested for strangling prostitutes. Don’t get me wrong, in my day you were expected to strangle prostitutes, but times have moved on to the point where now, apparently it is even illegal to do so. While I might not agree […]
