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 Much of the content is out of date and relates to my early use.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…

Donovan Ransome showed me Heatmapapi which looks pretty damn cool. So I have been trying to make one. I eventually gave up, the api needs server side programming skills and access. The programming skills and creating a accessible environment seemed too hard and time consuming. Help http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation geochalkboard on heatmaps

This page was originally entitled “Snipsnap Blog & XML Feeds”. It documented one of the crucial failings in snipsnap, its limited rss feed size of 10 and the blog article naming which means that it considered nearly all the articles to be titled “1”. In 2009, I experimented with using Google reader as a feed…

This was originally entitled “Our New XP Box”. I changed the title when I copied the snip across to WordPress in July 2013. I marked the snip as deprecated in June 2019, added a picture to remind me. Here are my notes; the tags give a pretty good idea of what I needed to write…

This was copied across from the snipsnap bliki on 26th July. It’s all a bit redundant now, but it might be useful for others. This was a pagfe that documented my work in building the configuration and in some places represented a work in progress. In some cases, the resolution is not documented and in…

This article has not matured well. I had been planning to write a blog, which discussed the current attempts led by Google to re-enclose the chat communities. The landscape had changed, with Google, in the spring of 2013 shit-canning Google Reader its RSS reader, and crippling XMPP in Google Talk. I had meant to write something…

I first attempted this in August 2008. I have successfully configured Pidgin 2.0.1 to act as a client although in one case I have two channels between me and my correspondent. One of the reasons was to have a second XMPP chat service to test my problems with Pidgin and my work’s XMPP server. See…

This is an article about Snipsnap. There are a number of snips in the database called snipsnap-portlet-n. These will be displayed on a snipsnap page with a known class name, so CSS can be written for them. I documented the code of the sidebar on the original wiki, partly as a backup. To edit the…

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…
