Stop SOPA

January 18th, 2012 Timbo No comments

Darkgate will be participating in the Stop SOPA blackout today along with Wikipedia and most of the internet. All comic images will be replaced with this one.

This will be from 8am to 8pm US Eastern time.

If you don’t want to lose where you are up to with your RSS feed.. don’t mark the items as read. Your comics will still be there ready to read tomorrow.

Coherence media server -> XBox 360

September 10th, 2011 Timbo No comments

So after using the no longer maintained UShare for a few years to stream video content to my XBox I decided to try something different. A quick google found Coherence, another open-source DLNA/UPNP media server.

The doco is a bit on the minimalist side like a lot of open-source projects, but luckily you don’t need to do a lot to get it into a working state.

Here is a quick setup guide for RHEL/CentOS 5 (note: the packages come from rpmforge/repoforge so you you may need to configure your repos):

# yum -y install python-coherence python-twisted-core python-twisted-web
# cat > /etc/coherence.conf <<EOF
logmode = warning
interface = eth0
web-ui = no

[subsystem_log]

[plugins]
[[FSStore]]
content = /e-drive/1_Movies,/e-drive/2_TV_Series
name = MORDEN
EOF
# coherence -c /etc/coherence.conf

..and that’s it. Obviously you’ll need to modify the “content” and “name” attributes in the config file to suit your setup.

Yep, I know about it. No need to email me. I’ve just implemented a workaround hopefully that should help.

Origin 2011: NSW win Game 2

June 15th, 2011 Timbo No comments

NSW played better. Better attack. Better defence. They made mistakes, but not as many as we did.

They deserved to win.

My poor little man tho, he’s only 5 months old, he can’t crawl or talk… but he already has the burning fire in his belly for Queensland!!!

There’s still the decider in Brisbane in 3 weeks time. So there’s still a chance for Darren Lockyer to put a smile back on the little guy’s face. :)
