Snow Leopard on Non-Apple Hardware
Building a hackintosh, an Apple computer which uses off-the-shelf hardware, can be a pretty daunting task. In the past I’ve struggled with confusing walk-throughs, been frustrated with shitty custom builds of OSX and generally thrown in the towel after about 4 hours of abject failure. But all that changed when I found this article. All […]
Upgrading OpenSolaris to the latest Dev version
At the time of writing, the release buid version of OpenSolaris is 111b, and the latest dev build is 124. To upgrade, open a terminal and run the following commands: user@opensolaris:~$ pfexec su – root@opensolaris:~# pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev opensolaris.org root@opensolaris:~# pkg image-update
Expanding your OpenSolaris NAS
After yesterday’s guide on setting up a Solaris NAS, I figure the next logical questions would be: How do I change out disks which have failed? How do I change out smaller disks for larger ones? Can I add more disks to my pool? All three questions are quite easily answered, and can, for the […]
Home NAS with OpenSolaris

Recovering from WoW: Day 1
When I started playing World of Warcraft around four years ago, I would never have imagined that a video game could dominate my life. I thought I was just sitting down to play a game, but I was wrong. Very wrong.
What to do
Well, it’s been a long time since my last post on irrationale, mainly due to the fact that I’ve been very busy, and have also managed to break the database which runs the site during a recent server migration. We were running on a mac server, but have since moved to a Linux server, and […]
An open letter to Games Publishers
As many of you may know, games piracy is becoming more and more of a problem. With hundreds if not thousands of bittorrent trackers live on the internet, people can download cracked versions of your games without paying a cent and play them to their hearts content. However, I think I may have a solution. […]
Regarding the new Star Trek film
It seems that our friends in Tinseltown have been hard at work, and the trailer for the next Star Trek film is almost apon us. A number of sites around the net have screenshots from the trailer, one of which is to the right – Zachary Quinto taking up the role of Spock. There are […]
