Corsair Void Headset

Short post in case anyone has the same product.
Bought a Corsair VOID RGB headset at $180, looks and sounds great! http://www.corsair.com/en-us/landing/void
I'd be playing music and suddenly I'd get my microphone beeping red rapidly, and a few seconds later it'd just shut off. I'd turn it on again and the side lights wouldn't go on...
I saw a setting on the CUE control panel called "Disable auto shutoff" disabled, which I find really weird for a default setting. Anyway I've now enabled it, hopefully I don't face the issue anymore!

Setting up webserver on RasPi

This shouldn't have been a headache, but it sure was!
The idea was:
1. Get a domain
2. Put my site content on RasPi
3. Profit
I'd recently moved to Singapore from Australia, so naturally a new router. I'm actually surprised by the amount of changes I needed to move from my previous DLink router to the new DLink router. Anyway this is what I ended up having:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

wireless-power off
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet manual
   wireless-essid 'MyInternetz'
   wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

iface home inet static
   address 192.168.0.250
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   network 192.168.0.0
   gateway 192.168.0.1

iface default inet dhcp

I'd actually struggled with stability with the RasPi. The keywords are "wireless-power off". The /var/logs/network said nothing about power saving...
So I go on to buy a domain off NameCheap, and learn a thing or two about CNAMEs. Hence I create one that points to my IP...oh hang on, I need a static IP which typically means I need to pay my ISP a few more dollars...lets not.

I set up NoIP and use their dynamic IP updater so I can set a hostname which points to my dynamic IP. This is where I then realize my ISP has some paranoia issues and blocked port 80! No problem, I'll setup a URL Redirect record in NoIP, then on NameCheap my CNAME can point to this URL Redirect. If only it were that simple, it doesn't look like CNAMEs can point to URL Redirects, not quite sure why this doesn't work...

Luckily, NameCheap have their own dynamic IP updater which I hadn't realized earlier, so I scrap the NoIP idea. This creates an A+ dynamic DNS record which points to my dynamically updated IP. Unfortunately, this still means I can't use port 80, because CNAMEs don't accept ports, and neiher does the dynamic IP updater...I've decided to live with specifying ports for now.

What I find wrong with MacOS

Just a rant. Since using a Mac I question why all the hype about using Macs over Windows. There are interface problems that persist that no one is reviewing and irritate the hell out of me. And then some problems are probably just personal preference...

• On Date & Time preferences, why do I need to "unlock to make changes", and then untick "Set date and time automatically" (which lags by the way), just to view other months on my calendar?
• If for some reason a script on my browser takes awhile to run, my cursor clicks go mental. E.g. if I click on a file to rename it, Mac immediately unfocuses my highlight, so quickly that I can't rename my file. Or if I highlight a file, I lose my highlight almost immediately. There must be something wrong with the multi-threading...
• When I minimize a window, why does a new window get created in my dock?
• Can't resize images in Outlook. Microsoft hurry up with the update.
• The closest thing to a Notepad++ (free text editor) I could find for Mac is Brackets, which is lacking alot of features.
• Fn+F11 is NOT how I want to shimmy to Desktop (given minimizing is not an option either), give me a handy button in the Dock.
• Opening programs in the Dock require only a single-click to open. So I get alot of misfires and get frustrated.
• Format Painter in Microsoft products on Mac are on the top, but on Windows it's in the ribbon. This is more a Microsoft inconsistency issue...
• If I drag a file into a folder on Finder, please put it into that folder, NOT the folder I am currently in. Jeez!
• Scrolling horizontally requires 2 fingers to drag horizontally, which is great, except on a browser this pushes me back a page as well.
• Volume keys randomly stop working. I get the 'restricted' sign instead. "sudo killall coreaudiod" fixes this. What on earth?
