Mah flailin pinions, with splints and rags and crutches!

I've worked out how to do the DVD backups: boot the Mac into Ubuntu and mount the SMB share with smbmount. VLC doesn't hiccup then either, suggesting it is in fact a weird interaction between Mac OS X and Samba. (Although it works perfectly on the PowerBook.) Burnt one, burning another as we speak. I've also mounted the OS X and OS 9 partitions on Ubuntu and have downloaded ext2fsx to mount the Linux partition on OS X.

Tonight were two parties, but I shall be taking the opportunity for a date with arkady and going to Slimelight. Three-floor special. Anyone else?

Don't forget: Oakdale Arms tomorrow 4pm for my birthday drinks. Lots of real beer and real cider for real people.

Note: I am still hardly reading LiveJournal. If there's anything I need to know about, please tell me.

Not sure whether I'll make it to the Oakdale tomorrow or not.

I didn't read your last post about DVD Backup issues, but OS X has some terrible network performance issues.

At first we (http://www.bendover.tv) (link nsfw) spent ages thinking it was Solaris 10 but it turns out it was the macs... we've since switched to using Linux and FreeBSD.

As I'm currently in the Oakdale (having taken advantage of timeplease's hospitality after the Pembury party), I will no doubt still be here for your birthday drinks ;-)
