I have an old Sawtooth G4 (350 upgraded to 800, 768mb) that I recently bought a big ext USB drive for. I put a USB 2.0 card in it years ago which has been fine up until now, however the USB connection times out and the Finder crashes with this drive (WD 750GB, which is fine on my MacBook with...

I'm looking into setting up a point-to-point wireless connection between my new house and my parents-in-law as for various reasons it might be a while before we can get a phone line installed. The houses are about 50m apart (maybe a little more) as the crow flies although there are some hedges...

I have an old clamshell iBook that I was going to sell, however I encountered a problem when testing it. When waking it up after it has been closed, the cursor is movable, however nothing can be clicked. I tried force quitting which first allowed me to quit Shareway IP, and as that didn't help...

I had an idea for a site with a similar format to Slashdot however I could do with finding an alternative to Slash. Unfortunately the slashcode "Slashalike" list is extremely out of date and most of the scripts on it either don't seem to be around anymore or still aren't suitable. My...

I've been looking for a stock management script and would appreciate some suggestions. I've been searching SourceForge and have tried a couple of scripts (OpenTaps, which I found to be a bit clunky, and Inventory Management Software, which looked to do what I needed however I haven't managed to...

Do any of you guys know what the salary scales arelike for the UK Apple Stores? Apple have been in touch with me about a position (Creative I think, although I applied for Mac Specialist too) at the new Glasgow store and I wanted to get a rough idea as I'm waiting to hear back about a job with a...

I've been looking for a script that I assumed would be easy enough to find but I haven't had any luck yet. If anyone knows of a script, or even some pointers for writing one I'd appreciate it. I have an RSS feed on a web page that has blog entries (title and preview/description) displayed...

I don't mean to spam but I found a good offer that eMusic are doing with the Beanscene coffee shops. It's a 14 day free trial with 50 free downloads, there's no DRM and you get to keep the songs if you cancel. It's up at emusic.com/beanscene

I'm upgrading my Linksys modem/router and the wireless adapter for my girlfriend's iBook and could do with some recommendations. I'm currently using an old Belkin 802.11b USB adapter and I'd recently bought a Linksys modem and adapter bundle that was on offer, however no Mac drivers for the...

I just upgraded to 10.4 (I prefer Panther but some software demanded it) from 10.3.9 and the new Mail seems to have lost all my mail from July 2005 onwards. It downloaded everything off the mail servers but there's almost a year's worth of messages missing. I know I should back up once in a...

I'm developing a dynamic website that is based around a calendar system, that should also be able to talk to calendar apps. Ideally I'd like to be able to display calendars for various users on the same screen. I'd assumed that this would be developed in PHP/MySQL as it's open source and I...

Apologies for the lame thread but here goes. I've been looking to replace my (heavily upgraded) PowerMac G4 for a while now, espcially since I've just started a new company and I could do with a sperate machine for work (web/print design, music production). Anyway, I spotted a "Buy Now Pay in 12...

I know someone selling a fairly new Apple 17" LCD and I wanted to see if anyone could give an opinion on how good a buy it is. The price is £250; I couldn't seem to find how much the RRP was and I didn't see any around on eBay (maybe I wasn't looking hard enough). I know 17" LCDs start at about...

I posted a few months ago with a link to song of mine about Dogcows which some of you seemed to like. Anyway, this is just to let you know that my band Monktus are in a competition called the National Student Music Awards. There are 30 bands competing for a place in the final in London, the...

Thought you guys might enjoy this article about the Mac mini. There's also some other interesting stuff about the PowerBook G5 and the iPod Shuffle. http://www.divisiontwo.com/articles/MacMini2.html

Most of the sites I build are for bands and I'd like to find the best way of streaming audio without external apps. For example, I'd like to have a link or button on the front page of a site to stream a song (either a single one or preferably to choose one) that will be self contained. I...

Ok. I've got a SPARCStation 20 that doesn't boot and probably has a bunch of rubbish on it anyway. I'd like to do a clean install of Solaris 8 on it but the machine doesn't have a CD-ROM. I know it's possible to do a network install from Linux (although the howtos are a little over my head) and...

Hi guys I could do with some help editing some PHP. I'm using Dave Tufts' excellent PHP photo gallery script and I'd like to change the number of columns in a dynamically created table. The page in question can be found here: http://weegiedirtyweekenders.org.uk/photos.html (link to popup...

I've made my first foray into CSS rollovers and it's not going too badly except I'm having problems with a menu working in IE 5.2 (haven't checked Windows IE yet). At first I thought it was that IE CSS bug (I put the fix in), but then I added a single button that worked and I'm not sure why the...

As well as being my username on a few forums, and a rare and ancient animal (cross between a monkey and a cactus), Monktus is also the name of my band. Anyway, we have a song called "And The Dogcow Went Moof" that I did a quick demo of at college the other weekend. If you'd like to hear it you...
