Is Darth Vader gonna have to choke a b*tch?

Posted In Apple |

After ducking the media hype of the opening last week, I decided to go
along to see Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith today - and revenge
they got. In months leading up, we were warned that Episode 3 was going
to be "darker" and to a certain extent that is true, however, it had to be.

It
had to show Anakin's journey to the dark side, the forces that drove
him that way and how the Empire became the force that it was in
Star Wars: A New Hope.

Brisbane Rainfall Widget

Posted In Music |

I decided to throw this widget together last tonight as it's quite handy to
see if there's any rain about. I'll add some preferences in due course.

Here's a screenshot of a work in progress on my current Mac desktop:-

We have moved ... Web Host

Posted In Official |

{mosimage}

Sikosis.com (previously Gravity24hr.com) has taken the plunge and severed it's ties from six (6) year web host, Interland (previously Communitech). Our corner of the web is now being hosted by UVC Host.
The hosting is considerably cheaper and whilst I will not have any sub
domains ($10 per subdomain per year ? No thanks), I keep coming back to
that price per year and for some reason, it's not a problem anymore ;).

As for their reliablility, I've been use to their stability and performance for awhile, as Scott Mc setup the BeDrivers
hosting there. I'm responsible for building, from
scratch, the site and setting it all up. I'll most likely migrate it to a Mambo install soon, just to make things easier on myself.

I'm
still working on the Dashboard Widgets, getting the code cleaned up and
making them solid before I release them for public (ab)use.
