After unsuccessfully trying to make Pairs, an AGA Amiga solitaire game, work under Windows using WinUAE, I went looking for native alternatives. I found out this particular variant of Mahjong is called Shisen-Sho. From the Shisen-Sho games listed on Vegard Krog Petersen’s site I tried a few and found the best two for my liking were Shisen-Sho by iBinx (which is free) and Shisen for Java.

iMac Core Duo Video Problems
“It seems like some of the new intel iMacs are showing some “Rev A” growing pains. Certain models are showing graphical errors during common tasks. The problem is most apparent when using Apple’s Front Row media browser.

PC in a bottle
They used to hide bottles inside books once. Times sure have changed…
“I love to tinker with hardware etc. so I wanted to make something quite unique for a case. I have seen many nice and creative cases before but none of them were made out of a bottle. In November I bought an industrial 3.5” SBC board (with Socket370). For the project I selected a 1.5 litre Ballantine’s bottle for case. That was the proper size and shape for the task at hand.”

“Jäsenten käyttöön on otettu uusi tietokantapalvelin. Uusi järjestely vaatii jäsenien käyttämiin www-sovelluksiin pieniä muutoksia. Tähän muutokseen on varattu kaksi viikkoa siirtymäaikaa.
Nykyisen “localhost”-osoitteen tilalle täytyy muuttaa “db1.kapsi.fi” (ilman heittomerkkejä). Helpdesk on laatinut asiasta pikaohjeen, jossa neuvotaan osoitteen muutos www-ohjelmiin.”
Toteutin tämän muutoksen äsken kaikkiin WordPressillä toimiviin blogeihini (pikaohjeen mukaisesti, vaikken sitä siinä vaiheessa vielä ollutkaan lukenut), ja kaikki näyttää toimivan ihan hyvin.

Man Sues Apple Over Potential Hearing Loss
“A Louisiana man claims in a lawsuit that Apple’s iPod music player can cause hearing loss in people who use it. ,[…]
The suit, which Patterson wants certified as a class-action, seeks compensation for unspecified damages and upgrades that will make iPods safer. Patterson’s suit said he bought an iPod last year, but does not specify whether he suffered hearing loss from the device.”
The last sentence makes this sound like a fishing trip.
