  • MSN Clones

    Last updated on July 3rd, 2015 at 03:35 pm My daughter has reached an age where all her friends are on MSN. While the school is concerned about it, I think that (occasionally monitored) online chat is actually a useful skill. Most of the chat is what you’d expect of tweens, misunderstandings and hurt feelings…

  • Linux Terminal Server Project

    Last updated on June 28th, 2015 at 12:07 pm I?m doing a proof of concept project using LTSP: Linux Terminal Server Project. After a few fits and starts I?ve decided to use theK12ltsp.org 4.4.1 distribution. Don?t let the K12 fool you. It isn?t just for schools, but they have packaged Fedora Core and LTSP for…

    Last updated on August 21st, 2015 at 01:58 pm I?m configuring a D-Link DP 300U multiport print server for use at home with OpenSuSE 10.0 and I thought I?d keep some notes on my linux adventures here.

  • iTunes opens in Australia

    Last updated on June 28th, 2015 at 12:07 pm Hooray at last. The iTunes Australian store has opened after years of wrangling and negotiating. It seems the last holdout distributor in the Australian market finally joined the 21st century.

  • More del.icio.us

    Last updated on July 3rd, 2015 at 04:37 pm Further to yesterday?s post on del.icio.us David Muir pointed me to his excellent guide to del.icio.us. While it assumes your browser is Internet Explorer, it is the sort of guide I could give my mum, so I?ll forgive that. It?s a great introduction, explanation and exploration…

  • forget favorites, beyond bookmarks, try del.icio.us

    Last updated on March 27th, 2017 at 04:29 pm I was chatting to my friend Sim’ about blogs and stuff when I raised del.icio.us and he said I looked at del.icio.us – yet another web system of questionable value was my analysis unless you can convince me it’s worth the effort? That’s when I realised I…

  • Javascript nasty

    Last updated on June 24th, 2015 at 01:34 am Today I also came across a nasty endless loop Javascript. This sucker can trap IE, Firefox and Opera in an endless loop requiring you to kill the application via task manager or kill the process if using one of the *nix. Go get the NoScript –…
