Ramblings about tech, music and more
It’s time for another funpacked session, with awesome sounds from the likes of Foamo, Boys Noize, Fake Blood and Armand Van Helden’s rather dirty remix of an early nineties anthem. Crank the volume up and let your neighbours party too! If you love the Unadopted Podcast, please add Unadopted on Facebook and tell your friends […]
Continue ReadingI recently tried to use the image_science gem for Ruby, but it didn’t work after installation because it was looking for FreeImage.h. Thinking it’d be an easy fix, I headed over to http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/ to go grab a copy of a binary file to install, but there wasn’t one. Undeterred, I went to grab the source […]
Continue ReadingI was having trouble making chan_sccp compile against Asterisk 1.6 — it kept dying saying that AST_CONTROL_T38 was undeclared. Turns out the solution is easy — Asterisk replaced AST_CONTROL_T38 with AST_CONTROL_T38_PARAMETERS, so you need to replace something in sccp_pbx.c. Full instructions available here.

Continue ReadingI ran into some problems with Perl’s CPAN installer on Snow Leopard, notably, it didn’t work once Bundle::CPAN was installed. Every time I tried to install a package I’d end up with an error like this: Catching error: ‘Can\’t call method “value” on an undefined value at /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm line 64. ‘ at /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/CPAN.pm line 281 […]

Get stuck in, and help spread the word! If you […]

Yet another varied one this time, ranging from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons to Mujava, and from Pixie Lott to the ever-awesome Fake Blood. If you love the Unadopted Podcast, […]
Continue ReadingBoingBoing recently linked to a BBC Magazine article where they gave a 13-year-old an original Sony Walkman to review. My favourite quote: “It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape. That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the metal/normal switch on the […]
Continue ReadingChecking in with Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band, a bit of the Mighty Boosh, some Little Boots, and that Duke Dumont version of Two Doors Down by the Mystery Jets (that really sounds a lot more like it’s Muse – New Born…), it’s the Unadopted Podcast with a mixed bag of Bank Holiday […]
Continue ReadingStarting off with the dark-but-bouncy Sombre Detune by Norwegian funksters Röyksopp, touching on the epic Mars by Fake Blood, and bumping into some Prodigy and Tomas Andersson along the way, here’s the next installment of the Unadopted Podcast!
