I have an iphone on the way. Native Exchange with push email support is going to be awesome.

I'd been having some issues with the wireless in my macbook for the last month or so.

It was only picking up really strong/close wireless access points. I first thought it was a software issue as there have been some issues with mac os and wireless of late.

Anyway I tried Windows XP and was getting the same problem.

So after a lot of playing around I opened up the macbook to make sure that the antennas were connected correctly; they were.

So tonight I tried replacing the airport (wireless) card with another one. The original macbook uses an Atheros 5006X wireless chipset (Mini PCI-E). I used a standard PC Atheros AR5006EG (ar5bxb61 (em100)) card and it worked straight away. The mac thinks it is the same card that was in it before, except that the mac address has changed and that the wireless now works!

So it looks like the airport card was dead, sort of. But I'm happy now my wireless works.

This macbook hasn't been all that reliable. I've had a dead hard drive, replaced the top casing twice, had my battery die and had the wireless die. Saying that 1st gen apple products are known for their issues. I will keep using macs for laptops and PCs for desktops.

I got a Mac Mini for my birthday on the 21st. Specs:

Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz
1gb Ram
80gb HDD
Leopard.

It's awesome! I'll post some pictures later.

To enable php:

1. open terminal
2. cd /etc/
3. sudo cp php.ini.default php.ini
4. cd /private/etc/apache2/
5. sudo nano httpd.conf
6. uncomment the two modules: php5_module and fastcgi_module. They were at line 114 and 115 for me.
7. Use ctrl and o to save
8. reload apache (can be done from system preferences).

I just purchased myself an Apple G4 Cube!

I got my ipod today and it's the only thing I've found that doesn't work with Vista 64bit.

Why does it need a 32bit version of windows?! itunes runs fine :|

The error message isn't even right, iPhone?!

Looks awesome, my old ipod died a while ago, so I'm going to get myself one of these. Woo!

The best RSS reader I've used so far is newsfire on the mac.

Just last night we tried xtorrent, a bittorrent program written by the same guy. It is definitely up to the standard of newsfire, great interface and the search works too!

Xtorrent 1.1 was just released so it might be a good time to buy.

I finally setup LDAP on Kerio. I now have my contacts synced with webmail, mac address book and my phone. Awesome.

Anyone who uses our email server can now make use of this too.

The server (mail.lttd.net) allows secure LDAP connections on port 16360 (636 is the standard port but the mail server is also a domain controller, so that port is in use).

More details can be found in the Kerio User Manual:
