Chilling_Silence's blogLotus Notes Traveler on Android
Finally after over a year in development, the Lotus Notes Traveler client for Android has been released! To be honest, it’s surprisingly clean, fast, and works relatively well (With the exception that you can’t copy text from emails, but I presume this is deliberate). Here is a quick  installation guide:
Piracy – The solution?
After my last blog post, I got thinking about the problem: Copyright holders (Such as film makers, artists and game creators) want to protect their livelihood. What the new Copyright laws seem to be more interested in is targeting the casual user, here’s why: 1) The clever people who do it all the time for […]
The amendments to the Copyright Laws
This will be a brief but hopefully informative post aimed at people of all technical levels. Recently the Government has pushed through some changes to certain laws in New Zealand under urgency. Disagree with their rushing / reasoning, that’s fine, I do to, but this post will hopefully help you to know where you stand. […]
Removing XP Home Security 2011 / 2012 malware
NOTE: This malware comes under many similar names, they pretty much all do the same thing, some marginally worse than others. Removal is easy and straight-forward either way. EDIT: Added XP Home Security 2012 updated info. The newer ones are getting more and more clever at hiding! Unfortunately I’m still not sure where this sneaky […]
The future of ISPs – Client-controlled QoS
Note: The terminology in this post has been relatively simplified to appeal to a broader audience I’ve mused about this before but I’m unsure if I ever blogged about it or in what depth. I alluded in a previous post, my prediction that ISPs are going to have to offer more than just pure broadband. […]
The end of the world, death by IPv4
Posted from my Cellphone: All of the IPv4 addresses have been handed out by the main “keyholders” of the internet. Does this mean the world as we know it will end?
The current / future state of broadband in NZ
There’s 3 types of people in NZ: 1) Those who are actually IN the broadband business and know what’s going on 2) Those who are spectating from the sideline and *think* they know what’s going on (But usually don’t) 3) Those who just don’t care After a recent article in the New Zealand Herald, I […]
Installing MIUI
MIUI is a great alternative firmware to the likes of CyanogenMod. I was a long-time user of CyanogenMod 6, contributing in the forums, donated etc, but I gave MIUI a whirl one day and it had me hooked! It’s fast, real fast! My battery life seemed to increase quite significantly using it also, which really […]
LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online) in Linux with Wine and LotroLauncher
Turns out the other game that I play, LOTRO, also works well in Linux. It took a bit of messing around to get setup, but not too much. I already had the offline installer, 11GB High-Res version, from about 3 months ago when I first started playing. It was easy to get installed, but then […]
Warcraft III in Gentoo Linux – Crashes in bnet
So I ran Ubuntu a while ago and knew it could work fine using the latest Warcraft 1.24e, but for some reason in Gentoo every time I would sign in to battle.net it would accept my password and then just as the screen would start to “pull down” from the top, WC3 would bomb out […]
