Post-2009 thoughts - kein

Ramblings were reluctantly relegated to: The One with Excellent Hindsight

Now, 2009 has come and gone. And 2010 is here!
So, what have I done in 2009?

Supported the Crazy John South Dragons, and watched them rise to their first ever NBL championship! And promptly vanish thereafter. There goes my hopes of watching live basketball matches at a nearby arena.
Passed my IELTS with flying colours on the [...]

Movies: 风云 2 (Storm Warriors) - kein

Ramblings were reluctantly relegated to: The Comic Strip Fan, The Movie Critic

So yes, despite all the negative feedback I caught this last night at Crown. Andddd here we go, the beginning of a stream of criticism:

步惊云’s 三霸剑之剑流云: 5 star effort, excellent! His other moves were crap.
步惊云’s 悲痛莫名 looked like a huge ball of water, rather than the sea of slashes that represented the sorrow of the [...]

PS3: How to get your bang for the buck on games - kein

Ramblings were reluctantly relegated to: The Gamer, The Melburnian

I formulated my ultimate long-term strategy on saving money for PS3 games over here in Melbourne.

Step 1: Buying the game in Australia? Always remember: price match! Get the best deal you can from Big W, JB Hi-Fi, K-Mart or whatever it is, then price match at EBGames. Save money on the initial purchase.
Step 2: [...]

Tech: Google Pinyin as a Chinese IME - kein

Ramblings were reluctantly relegated to: The Technofreak

Google Pinyin (or 谷歌拼音) is great stuff, kudos to Steven for introducing it.

Easy to install
Small memory footprint
Non-intrusive on the OS interface, only appears when you switch your Windows IME to Chinese.
Pretty good predictive function, even if your Hanyu Pinyin is not brilliant.
And the interface is way better than the NJStar I used to use. [...]

Tech: dhcpd tips, and how you should get it to work on a totally separate network - kein

Ramblings were reluctantly relegated to: The Technofreak

For the poor sods who had problems with dhcpd – my DHCP troubleshooting notes. Done on a Fedora box, version 10 IIRC.
Restart network interfaces:
service network restart
to use tcpdump for packet capture on the server:
tcpdump -i -n port 67 or port 68
run dhcpd in debug mode in foreground:
/usr/sbin/dhcpd eth1 -d -f
stop service:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd stop
run dhcpd on [...]
