Fillum Review: Thir13en Ghosts (2001)

  Leave a comment

This was on at some point during the week, and my shiny new V+ box was set to record it. It’s a film that sort of interested me when it firm came out but I never actually watched. Got round to seeing it last night, and… was a bit disappointed. Firstly, it isn’t scary. So I can’t put it down as a horror film, as it’s too silly. But then it can’t be a comedy (even though Five billed it …

Fixing jrnl_wrap_error on Windows 2000 SYSVOL shares

  / Leave a comment

I came across this strange thing today. One of the domain controllers wasn’t picking up new group policies. Basically, there were fewer folders in the policies folder in SYSVOL on that DC than in the others.¬¨‚Ć Looking at the event log, the following was thrown up: Event Type:¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć Error Event Source:¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć NtFrs Event Category:¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć None Event ID:¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć 13568 Date:¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć 06/06/2008 Time:¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć 12:17:46 User:¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć ¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć N/A Computer:¬¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ƭ¨‚Ć GWEN Description: The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set …

One pound and sixteen pence

  Leave a comment

For a litre of petrol. One pound sixteen. Just over four years ago, when I got my current car, a tank of petrol would cost me around ¬¨¬£30. Now it’s ¬¨¬£47. I don’t even have a choice, either – I can’t manage without my car because public transport in Norfolk is pretty much non-existent. Rubbish.

Okami for the Wii

  Leave a comment

I never bought the PS2 version of Okami, but am looking forward to the Wii release on the 13th June (in the UK at least – US gamers have it already, I believe). The whole drawing thing seems to make so much more sense on the Wii. Anyway, here’s a video! From the press release: ‚âà?•kami tells the story of a mythical sun god who sets out to restore a dismal world, decimating the forces of evil who stand in …

SyncMate upgrade problems

  / Leave a comment

After upgrading to v1.2 (v1.2.0.325, in fact) of SyncMate, my Vario II (Windows Mobile 5 phone) decided it no longer wanted to talk to my Mac. Either of my Macs, in fact. I kept getting the message “Can’t start driver, error 2”. The “fix” suggested (deleting some files on the Vario II, reinstalling the driver, etc. – see thread here) then prevented the Vario II from talking to ActiveSync on my PC at work too. An uninstall of v1.2 on …

Best news EVER

As I have been quite vocal about, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 downloadable content DRM is rubbish. When I replaced my Xbox 360 with a 360 Elite a couple of months ago, I lost the ability to play my games offline. What made it worse, was that before I bought a new console, I rang tech support to ask if I could transfer everything over and still play games offline – and was told yes. Naturally, they’d lied to me and having …
