You may have noticed that all of a sudden all the content has dissapeared from this site. 'Why?' you ask? Well, I figured that I'm a bit fed up of writing about my day to day personal life and I'm sure it can't be that interesting to read either!

We all know that the idea behind <acronym title="eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language">XHTML </acronym>and <acronym title="Cascading Style Sheet">CSS</acronym> is to seperate content from style, and when this is done properly it allows us to change the design of an entire site simply by changing the <acronym title="Cascading Style Sheet">CSS</acronym> stylesheet. So why not have multiple stylesheets for your website and allow the user to change them?

<p>I came across <a href="http://www2.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjQ0">this article</a> on <a href="http://www.hardocp.com">Hard[OCP]</a> last night. It should give people a good idea of whether their machine will handle Doom 3 before they buy it. I was quite surprised myself at how well it ran on my lowely Radeon 9600! It would appear also that the game still looks curiously stunning at 800x600, with much better framerates than 1024x768.</p>

Well I had more comments for an entry offering Gmail invites than any other entry. Guess that proves they're still in demand! Unfortunately I didn't get very many good reasons, so I've closed commenting on that entry now. I have also run out of invites to send out so sorry to those that didn't get one.

Well... so far it's been an uneventful 2005 technically. So far this week I've re-built both my home workstation and my home server (wanted a smaller case for my workstation and the bigger case for my server) and Cypher (the server) is now running dual Athlon MP 1.2Ghz chips on a Tyan Tiger MP. The dual Celeron 400's on the BP6 were good, but getting a little long in the tooth now.

<img src="/images/marvin.png" class="alignright" alt="" />The feature film version of Douglas Adams 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' is released this Friday. It's definately on my 'must-see' list. I'm a little worried though, as there's just so many ways it could suck. Having said that, so far the casting looks good; Stephen Fry sounds like an excellent choice for the book, and I'm sure Alan Rickman will play Marvin with just the right amount of disdain.

The mix is coming along nicely :). I've fixed the bass guitar level in the mix and also arranged the guitar parts in the stereo field and balanced them up somewhat. They're now sitting in the mix much better and not crowding the vocal. I've not felt the need to EQ any of the guitar parts yet as I think they sound great as they are!

I've finally got IPv6 working on my home network. It took a fair bit of fiddling! I'm using a tunnel and subnet provided by [SixXS](http://www.sixxs.net/), which is run from a Linksys WRT54GS router running [OpenWRT](http://openwrt.org/). I've had the tunnel running for a while, but it was only today that I got the subnet and was able to setup radvd to broadcast it. It does seem that radvd doesn't like broadcasting /48 subnets though so I had to change it to a /64 to get it working.

I'm now running my very own Hackintosh! It was a relatively easy install, with just a few tweaks required to get the graphics card working correctly. I had to come to terms with the fact that there were no working drivers for my onboard LAN adapter (nForce 570) and get a PCI Gigabit card. The Netgear GA311 is a good choice.
