Hi:

This is the website for Owen Carter, a British guy who has been living in Amsterdam for the last 11 years.

I'm afraid there is nothing earth-shattering here, no solutions for World Peace, no cures for peoples ills.. Just a few of my photos and ramblings.

FreeBSD.6-STABLE

March 29th, 2006 |

My World and Kernel are now rebuilt, It’s time to move Calvin from a GENERIC FreeBSD server to a STABLE one. Should make my server a bit faster, but mostly it means I get the latest security fixes. And since one of them particularly affects me, this is a good thing.

I’m going to try this out, a simple concept. If you only listen with a MP3 player, then why have your podcast reveiver software on your computer, when you can just have the software on the MP3 player itself.
Very simple concept, very innovitave, great.

MS Office, yeah.

March 6th, 2006 |

MS critisizes Openoffice for being ‘behind the times’.
No bad thing say I, as one Slashdot poster puts it:

“Precisely; it is remarkable the number of people who hanker back to the Word or indeed Wordperfect of the mid 90′s. This was a time before feeping creaturitis had led to a situation where the user could spend several minutes navigating menus looking for a particular function.

Sadly, if I were to be brutally honest, I would say that this is one area where OO.o really isn’t 10 years behind MS Office, it is jam-packed with seldom used functions, that however is the price of getting involved in a tick-box war with MS Office (which open office really has to).“
