I have looked at Bittorrent on and off over the years. It was controversial as it was the preferred filesharing solution of choice for copyright pirates but it has significant other uses and benefits. It was probably designed to cope with site or server bandwidth scarcity in a client server transaction. I first created this…

I have worked for Californian based companies twice, and visited San Francisco a number of times. Sun Microsystems moved its training conference from San Francisco to Las Vegas and so my time in San Francisco became limited to the airport. I can’t remember when and why I stuck this page up, nor why Fodors was…

Snipsnap was a blog/wiki written in Java. I used it from 2006 until 2013. This page acted as a source code archive with one utility and my Linux management tools. Most of what one might need is now available on github; it remains as host for HTMLMacro.jar.

This snip is about fixing the Vista/XP networking interoperability problems, and now Windows 8. I have renamed the article Windows Networking. I renamed it Windows 2009 in 2019, as I needed to reuse the then current title elsewhere. Throughout the permalink https://davelevy.info/wiki/vista-networking/ should still work, otherwise it wouldn’t be a permalink. Supporting links began to fail…

This article, which was originally about how to extend snipsnap & was copied across from the snipsnap bliki on 20th June 2013, I gave up on Snipsnap later in the year, and the project has been abandoned by its authors. This content is thus pretty much superseded and the title but not the link has…
Read moreOther people’s wisdom I have amended this snip as it came across. The ‘related posts’ plugin picks up cross references and so I have deleted references to articles on this wiki. I copied a post from forgotten wars forums about managing the software build. I posted this on http://davelevy.info, but while tidying it up in…

The page notes the 2010 America’s cup match which Oracle won…
