Phpdev - boxed php server config

Do you want to get started with Php, test drive scripts locally or set up a web server of your own? Then I can sincerely recommend phpdev.
Phpdev is nothing more than a collection of several common tools like Apache, Php and MySQL BUT with the exception that they are all preconfigured to work together out-of-the-box […]

Campaign for Digital Rights

Just wanted to remind you that there is a war going on out there. One between the consumers and the profit hungry record companies. About a year ago, the first copy protected cds were released and still today they haven’t given up this path. Even though the discs are unplayable on most “computer based” products […]

And the crowd goes wild …

The Matrox Parhelia has landed on the desks of reviewers around the globe. Is it any good? Check out the ruckus over at the Murc (Matrox Users Resource Center).

Sissel Kyrkjebo - In Symphony

I got my hands on the “In Symphony” cd by Sissel Kyrkjebø. Extremely talented female vocal artist. One of the finest in the world imho.
Anyway, I realized not until the 11th track that there was a problem with the disc itself. Clipping. And upon revisiting the other tracks using a waveform editor I find the […]

Movie forecast for the season

(Or ten things I hate about cinemas) I have to admit that living in Sweden is a bit like living in eastern europe when it comes to cinematic releases. Or on Mars for that matter. Something is definitely broken in the great chain of movie distribution. Most releases get here at anything from one to […]

Excursion: Terminal Moraine

Hindens rev (hind reef)
A terminal moraine is a result of a glacier in a standstill. Usually during cold periods a glacier can remain locked in the same position (because it is frozen onto the substratum, i.e. cold base) for a considerable amount of time.
During this time material is still being transported within the ice strata […]

Possible fixes for GTA3 slow game play?

Great game but bad port to the pc platform it seems. My XP1600+ and G400 system can just barely keep up with some of the advanced “features” of the game. Some “features” that have been mentioned in conjunction with the slowdowns and lagging game play can be remedied with the following tools:
High-FPS Mod (v3) Converts […]

CDR blues

A couple of weeks ago I came to the rather dire conclusion that I was running out of Kodak Ultima80 CDRs. For some reason you never plan ahead, and you realize the spindle is empty basically when you are down to the last five pieces. Now this might not seem like much of a problem […]

“Ecological risks of GMOs come in unexpected ways, model shows”

Introducing genetically modified organisms into wild populations holds a greater theoretical risk of extinction of natural species than previously believed, according to two Purdue University scientists. William Muir, professor of animal sciences, and Richard Howard, professor of biology, used computer modeling and statistical analyses to examine the hypothetical risks of introducing genetically modified organisms into […]

On the Matrox Parhelia

Btw. I saw that “solid” information has emerged on the Matrox Parhelia card. On the one hand there is the break of NDA over at the SkarkyExtreme Forums and then there is CT Magazine adding to the notion that shipping will in fact begin July 1st. The first card to leave the assembly line will […]
