Bouddi Coastal recap

Bouddi Coastal recap

I was looking forward to this race and being the inaugural event with Max Adventure as the organizers I knew it was going to be well run. I stayed with my cousin the night before the race as he lives on the Central Coast so there wasn’t the need to get up at stupid o’clock to be there at about 7:00am for the 8am start,  and I was picking up a work colleague who had signed up for the race…

Draenor Pathfinder and returning to WoW

Draenor Pathfinder and returning to WoW

Even though I purchased Legion at launch IRL got in the way of playing the expansion and so I have had a long hiatus from WoW. Upon resubscribing and logging in to my character the last content I played was patch 6.1 on my orc Death Knight on Barthilas (armory link) and I had started leveling my Shaman but only got as far as level 93 with the thought ‘OMG this is going to be boring doing the Draenor content…

Changing iTunes backup location

Changing iTunes backup location

If like me you have a SSD as your main drive (C:\) and a spindle hard disk as a secondary data drive (D:\) then it’s a worthwhile moving your iTunes backup folder to the data drive and save space on the SSD. This guide has been tested on Window 10 (build 15063) and PowerShell (version 5.1.15063.608). iTunes by default installs in to C:\Program Files for the 64bit version and puts user files in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer where <username> is your Windows…

Coastal Classic recap

Coastal Classic recap

That said; This year the aim of the Coastal Classic was to finish within cutoff for my friend who is 15 weeks pregnant which sounded like an easy task. I have to say I was honored when she asked me but as the race date loomed I was becoming more and more worried that my pace would effect her run as she is super fit and…

UTA50 recap

UTA50 recap

This was my second UTA50 and like last year the race briefing was exciting and the atmosphere electric but the announcement that we were now running the first part of the 100km event was daunting and terrifying. The race directors were predicting huge storms and the NPWS and NSW Police were not allowing the 50km coarse to be run, the positive was we were going to experience Tarros Ladder and the infamous Nellies Glen.  Race day I drove to Katoomba and parked…

It’s not the size that matters

It’s not the size that matters

I’ve been looking forward to the Sentry mini-itx case project by Dr Zaber since the thread came up on [H]ardForum 2 1/2 years ago. Much R&D has gone in to the project which came about as the ‘Steambox’ craze was unleashed upon us. They initiated a  Indiegogo campaign at the start of the year and I got on-board straight away. I really am loving the updates as they near construction and especially excited now that Demciflex filters are creating some…
