IP.Board 3.0.0

June 29, 2009

I’m almost certain that regular readers will have seen that IP.Board 3.0.0 was officially launched alongside our new website. This single event is the culmination of over a year’s work from a small but incredibly dedicated team. IP.Board 3.0.0 has evolved from the internal roadmap we drew up in 2008 and so much has happened [...]

Michael Jackson

June 26, 2009

Michael Jackson died last night. Whilst I do offer my respects to his family, I’m not here to write about that. I’m writing to reflect on how the online population has responded to this event. As one would suspect it brings out the good in some and the bad in others. I would never label [...]

Thumbnail image for iMac 24″ Quick Review

After finally getting everything pretty much set-up thanks to a last minute Time Machine back up on my old iMac and being able to restore it on this new Mac I feel I can offer my first impressions. Firstly, keep in mind that my previous machine was a white iMac (17″ / 60gb HD / [...]

Formatting a Toshiba 1TB HDD For Mac

June 24, 2009

I recently picked up a 1TB external drive for a very reasonable £74.95 from Amazon.co.uk. It came pre-formatted as FAT32 which was fine as I was going to use it primarily for my Windows XP installation via VMWare. Eventually I was going to partition it off to use some of the space for Mac storage. [...]

Shiny New Apple

June 23, 2009

I finally succumbed to temptation and ordered a new iMac. I mostly blame Rikki who did nothing to stop me. Most of my day-to-day work involves TextMate, Versions App and Safari. Hardly a power hungry suite of applications and until recently my white 1.83ghz white iMac has coped fairly well. The biggest problem I have [...]

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-06-21

June 21, 2009

Another week begins. Getting annoyed at people posting that #ipb 3 is 'slow' 'cos it takes 0.2s instead of 2.3.6 which took 0.1s. Seriously? # 176mb download in under 2 minutes. I remember the days when a 3mb MP3 took 6 minutes to download. That makes me feel old already. # Installing Windows XP via [...]

The final debate

June 19, 2009

I could be forgiven for getting a sense of deja-vu at the forthcoming ‘final’ release of IP.Board 3.0.0. It’s a few months short of ten years since I released an alpha of Ikonboard and since then I’ve been in this position many times. A ‘final’ release of a new major version is an oxymoron. IP.Board [...]

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-06-14

June 14, 2009

Chasing one of those #ipb bugs that would be more fun if it was a brick and it was repeatedly smashing me in the face. # Brick-in-the-face #ipb bug turns out to be outdated JS on customer’s server. Doh. That’s an hour I’m not getting back. Onwards and upwards.. # Got distracted by Mark telling [...]
