I missed this one last week, but Vodafone have reduced their data roaming charges for the months of July and August 2011 to the same rates as you would pay in your home country. All we need now is for them to extend the offer indefinitely.

Had some strange behaviour with DNS on Mac OS X earlier today. Made a change inside DNS and waited the required amount of time for the TTLs to expire. Then verified that the new IP address was resolving (using both dig and nslookup).
However, my system was still trying to use the old IP address when I tried a simple ssh or telnet command.
In the end, I discovered how to flush my local DNS cache, which fixed the problem. You can do this as follows:
$ dscacheutil -flushcache
Just upgraded to a newer version of WordPress and forgot to re-enable by home-grown anti-spam hack on the comments page. Got hit with over 50 bogus comments in the space of 30 minutes or so. Big brother is watching!
I reluctantly bought a copy of OmniGraffle for Mac some weeks back, purely to do some updates to diagrams originally created with Visio on Windows (which is not available for Mac). At first, I thought the selection pre-made images (stencils to use their technology) was quite poor and very much lacking from those available for Visio. However, that was before I discovered Graffletopia.
Nice, very nice!
