You might have noticed it was a bit quiet from me last week. On the 19th I bought a motorcycle in Perth (from an #overclockers person!) and over the next week I rode it back to Sydney, via the Nullarbor and, well, all that hot flat stuff inbetween. It was a great trip - I'm considering doing a small writeup of the journey on OCAU, but here's a few of the (more than 100) photos I took on the way, to whet your appetite:
     
Thanks to aftahours, Mred32 and Gibbon for keeping the news page going while I was out of contact. Let's see if I can remember how to do this..
If you're one of the bazillion people who run or use a phpBB-based forum, you might want to check out this remote command execution flaw on SecurityFocus, thanks Andypoo. It's a simple one-line edit to close the security hole, or you can upgrade to the latest (2.0.11) version.
Apparently there's a security flaw in Winamp, too.
Sniper and TheWedgie both sent in this 950W PSU story on Xbit. Should let you run a few hard drives..
Speaking of PSUs, MadShrimps compared two passive ones from Silverstone and Yesico.
AnandTech have an article detailing their hosting architecture, detailing their move to ASP.NET. We had a recent article covering the process of building OCAU's current servers, if you missed it.
An updated version of DOOM3 for Linux has been released.
[H]ardOCP have been busy, with HL2 Benchmarks, an Ultimate System Guide and an NVIDIA SLI Upgrade Guide.
Hexus have part three of their own SLI guide posted.
Throttle Watch looks like a handy tool, for keeping an eye on whether your CPU is being thermally throttled. Seems to only work on Intel CPUs at the moment.
A failed WinXP upgrade has taken out 60,000 government PC's in the UK.
You might have seen all the fuss about the cheese sandwich religious artifact lately.. BigWilly sent in this piece of nutri-grain on Ebay which is much cooler.
From the PCDB: cas850 has an interesting car PC, while serious cooling is the goal for kayl.
