RIP Clevo D870p

June 19th, 2011

Well, my 6 year old 17″ P4 prescott with 256mb ATI mobility desktop replacement notebook has died. One of the first of it’s kind, you allowed me to make many a short film, incl. Colliding Temporalities, and while the installation of Vista in 2006 may have overheated your gpu, we fought on for another 5 years, underclocking with xp. Always able to play the latest games, perform great for media production and helped me get my degree, Clevo D870p, I will miss you.

Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally 2011

June 9th, 2011

Here’s some highlights from four locations of the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally over the last Friday/Saturday of May. I didn’t get a huge range of shots and my choice of focal length didn’t always match the car, but I had a lot of fun.

Coultis and Grubb

May 18th, 2011

Story in a nutshell:

A technology journalist, Ben Grubb was arrested by police who thereafter seized his iPad, following Grubb’s interview with a security expert, Christian Heinrich, relating to how private Facebook photos can be publicly accessed through a couple of days of informed URL guessing, a method that was previously presented to some 20 people by Heinrich during the AusCERT security conference on the Gold Coast, which questionably publicised private photos of a fellow security expert without permission.

Opinion/Analysis outside of a nutshell:

The story is not about Fairfax journalist Ben Grubb being arrested by Queensland Police after writing an article about the vulnerabilities in Facebook’s privacy controls, as mainstream media presents it. The story is about why his iPad was seized, the love of iPads…, and more seriously, by what method or medium private information is made public.

R35 Skyline going through the chicane

What more reason to celebrate than a previously unreleased black and white photo of Wilson Keir, last year’s second runner up, negotiating the chicane in the R35 #120 (last year’s Mile results). Over 150 competitors have entered this third running of the event in the Hindmarsh Valley. For the timing geeks, the timing systems are by Tag Heuer, provided last year by the Southern Districts Car Club. Read the rest of this entry »
