It’s been a long time since I updated this page. I tried to travel to Copenhagen last week and couldn’t find a flight. On my return I looked up all destinations and found this page, which lists them all. It seems I could have travelled to Hamburg and then by train, I looked, maybe they…

At the backend of 2009, I started experiments with WINE on MacOS. I documented my findings at my WINE page on this site. In March 2010, I returned to the project having been advised to use the Macports installation of WINE, instead of building from source. This page documents how I built from source code,…

This page was originally i.e. in 2010, used to make some notes on using bash, or originally ksh on windows. At some point I moved from cygwin to Microsoft’s Windows Sub-system for Linux aka WSL. I have moved those scripts that I want to reuse to a github repo called windows-tools and the original text…
Read moreThis article was written in 2010 and became defunct. I have not deleted it as I still use the product and that use is increasing. I may create an RDP page as I don’t expect to need this and the RDP integration with today’s W10 is much better. The article looks at using an ipodtouch…

The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. I became interested in this when looking at true 24/7, follow the sun computing. I published a blog article after reviewing Cloudsoft’s Monterey middleware. I thought it was pretty neat although I haven’t used it in anger.

Some notes on Playing a Mage in the NWN Official Campaign. I made her an Evoker. An extra spell per level, but you lose “Summoning”. I have never played a wizard under wither V2 or V3 rules, and it’s really changed. I need to check up on the offence, defence, buffing, protection and counterspells. About the…
Read moreI decided to have another go as I was looking to consume some planet feeds on a static web page. I found Display Your Feed on a Static HTML Page Using FeedBurner’s BuzzBoost using Google and this points at Feedburner’s Buzzboost, which is part of their feed publicity toolset. Now marked deprecated.

I installed this on the Mac. I also have Centos 5.9 on the HP Probook. Here are my notes; it’s much easier these days. This was created in Apr 2010.

It needs to be done, badly, has done for years, but is the DE bill an incentive to replace it with an appliance to act as a router/firewall etc. I am planning to move the internet facing services to a web hosting company’s server, but do I need something small and UNIXy. This article is…

I brought this page across from my old blog in June 2013. Much of the content is out of date and relates to my early use. This changed over time and became irrelevant, and so I deleted much of the content in June 2013. I have finally bought an Ipod Touch. Oct 2008. Since I…
