  • Thailand Trip (part 2)

    Got a taxi from Stable Lodge to Bangkok airport early in the morning to fly to Surat Thani. Surat Thani airport reminds me a lot of Avalon Airport. Pretty small and smells funny. Once we grabbed our bags, there was a guy selling tickets to Ko Samui. Perfect.

  • Back from Thailand.. only a few dramas

    As you may have heard, protests have been going on in Bangkok recently. It seems to be about the Thai people wanting their prime minister to resign.

  • Thailand trip (part one)

    Bek and I managed to score some really cheap JetStar flights to Bangkok six months ago in a 2 for 1 deal. In the end we paid about $400 each for our return tickets, so we’ve had six months to look forward to this trip.

  • How do you clone an LVM partition?

    It’s actually more difficult than you might think. From the bit of googling that I did, it seems that you can’t just ‘clone’ and LVM logical volume, while it’s running.

  • OpenWRT on the D-Link DSL-502T (Gen 1)

    NOTE: Much of this isn’t necessary now, because OpenWRT 8.09 now supports AR7. You can just grab the openwrt-ar7-squashfs.bin image to use from http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09.1/ar7/

  • Mastering MythTV MPEG2 files to DVD

    MythTV is a wonderful project, which I’ve been running for nearly 12 months. In the AFL season 2007, I was downloading the Geelong games from the internet. Unfortunately, you’re at the mercy of whomever was encoding the game, in terms of quality. By Geelong winning the premiership last season, most of the games were broadcasted on free-to-air TV and I was recoding them all using MythTV, with the intention of putting them on DVD later.

  • Latest spam, featuring Britney Spears

    Sometimes, I enjoy receiving spam. Lately, I’ve noticed a bunch of Britney Spears related spam, which I’ve had a good laugh at.

    It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here, but I wanted to share something cool that I found.
