This is how it looks currently, with a chinese-copy EOTech and some Magpul MBUS’ front and rear. The hand grip is an airsoft 4″ long one, which looks much less out of place than the alternatives, which are 7″ or so, and would cover the barrel.
It shoots incredibly well, seeing as it weighs a couple of KG’s (exact weight to come) and it’s only shooting 22LR 🙂
[Read More]It seems when I was messing around with our printer a few months back, I may have changed an error message or two for the fun of it.
Somehow, it took over three months for the message to actually be noticed - a workmate came to me asking what I’d done to the printer - I wonder why he came straight to me? 🙁
[Read More]Thanks to bigkahuna on the Fritzbox forums (edit 30/4/16: now defunct) I found a working configuration to get OSX clients connecting to a Fritz!Box 7390 router’s VPN.
Before you start
Setup a dynamic hostname of some sort, this makes it so you don’t have to keep working out what IP you connect to. Dyndns.org is a good supplier. Configuring that is outside the scope of this article, but from my experience it’s been just a case of enter the details and it works.
[Read More]So, RMB’s had a pair of the beautiful Samsung 931B’s for a few years now. They’ve been quite reliable until recently, when one started flickering on and off.
This actually had been happening for a month or two, and if you turned it off then back on again all would be good. Eventually this turned into just plain not working - acting like someone was just tapping power all the time. As this started, the other one started flicking on and off periodically.
[Read More]Here’s a cool video from Pro Rancher about making your own brand. Can’t say I’ve got a use for one, or the tools to weld one up, but I want one!
[Read More]I got linked to this video the other day and I can officially say that my brain just crawled out my ear. The video’s a very very simple way of seperating eggs, something I’m sure some protein-sucking egg-yolk hating friends of mine will love!
[Read More]Check out http://www.sccm-tools.com/ in Google Chrome. I’m not quite sure how it works just yet, but it’s certainly spectacular. Every second or so, it grabs a gradually larger and larger request in a runaway fashion.
I have a feeling it has something to do with storing the state of the page or something in its source, but wow. After three minutes, it’s doing 60KB/s.
Want to know how I found this? I left it open for a few MONTHS on my work PC and showed up as an incredibly huge user of bandwidth. Whoops!

Love is…
Brad Pitt spent nearly USD $400k to build a shooting range/armoury for Angelina Jolie, at the couple’s Miraval estate in southern France, according to The Sun.
A source said: “Brad had a lot to live up with his wedding gift considering Angelina exchanged vials of blood with her ex-husband Billy-Bob Thornton.
“And by letting Angelina de-stress at the range, he’s less likely to get earache indoors. There’s a lot to be said for that when you have six kids.”
