iWork 09 – Mac OS X
I recently got myself a copy of Apple’s iWork 09.
Firsts impressions were great and it also has some great features, infact everything that I will ever use. I will soon be un-installing Office 2008 that I have installed also, the only thing that iWork doesnt have is the email client where as Office 2008 has entourage which personally I hate!
Over all I would highly recomend iWork 09 and give it a 9/10
There is too many features to list, and cannot guarantee you would like the same ones as me.
SabNZB+ Problems after router change
Grrr bloody computers…..
The Problem
Grrr who would have thought that this little icon could cause me so much grief. I recently changed my home router, from the BE broadband standard one to my existing sky router that was stuffed in a box, why? Because i can hack this router to f*£k and get lots of great features that i havent been able to get with my old router. With this change I changed my IP range to something completely different, i kept all the settings the same like the WPA codes etc and all the forwarded ports, but with the IP range it messed my SabNZB+ config file up. IT WONT CONNECT ANYMORE! 
but me being me didnt let it die 
I plodded on until I fixed it. I tried the obvious remove the app and install again but still wouldnt connect to the webserver. Then came the hard part, where the hell does it store the config file on Mac OS X Leopard??
The Solution Follow these east steps.
- Open Finder
- On the menu bar click on GO
- Scroll down to the option “Go to Folder”
- Now you will have a pop up window asking for a name
- Type the following ~.sabnzbd
- This will take you to where the folder is, the reason we have to search is that it is a hidden folder and wont show up in finder unless searched for.
- Enter the folder and you will see the *.ini file
- Open this in your Text Editor
- Scroll down until you find the IP address before the change, and edit this with your new IP address.
- Save the document
- Run SabNZB+
- Browse to the http://HOSTNAME:8080/sabnzbd
- BINGO! No more issues.
Please note that SabNZBD must not be running while making this change. You will probably get an access denied, or trying to edit a protected file error.
