1:- Instead of iFolder use www.freenas.org all file shares supported apple windows & linux, can use software raid hardware raid, runs rsync for backups, runs from compact flash 128MB with adapter on any old dog of af a machine, can be a slim serverfor your music collection , plus loads more stuff.
2:- Leave yourself with smoothwall 2.0 it may be old but its very stable try 3 & you’ll get headaches.
3:- As cleggton says use a Hauppage media MVP and run mvpmc for your mythtv frontend it also has a client for slimserver so you can listen to music from your freenas box as for looks use the themes… latest nightly builds are quite stable:-) I have 3 of these & they rarely miss a beat.

Now I’ve known for ages that HP do that, but I hadn’t thought that you could get round it by removing an internal battery. Clever.

You’d have thought they’d have thought about it more and used the document timestamp or something. Maybe I should sell them that idea…

Give the new address bar a little while, and I think you’ll like it. I wouldn’t want to live without it now.

I’ll give you an example. Say you know you’d read a review of something earlier in the day, but couldn’t remember which website it was on. Just type the name of the thing, and it will find it for you. Brilliant!

Welcome back, Cheezmeister!

If you’re wanting to learn to code, then Python is the place to start (and finish) IMHO. And if you’re wanting to play with the Guitar Hero toy, it’s probably just a USB joystick, like the Buzz! controllers that I worked with before.

The cheese is back!!!!!! Old School!!!!

Yeah - the theme is a bit broken in places. I’ve been thinking about it for a while. It will be fixed “At Some Point”(TM) but at the moment I have a couple of other projects on the go

Any plans for getting the ‘Moose sorted? A lot of the right hand menu bar looks broken.
As a slight aside, I’ve not sent you the stuff I recorded on Sunday since it was very noisy. It may be a dodgy lead or the laptop may not be up to it. We’ll just have to give it another go this Sunday

Hey, Thanks! Hope all is well in the northern isles!

I may be able to come down this year, though if I do, it’ll likely only be the Saturday.

love the web site
love the craft items and comments !

Can I do it in my car?

Well - it’s a Linux idea, rather than an Ubuntu idea. I just happen to use Ubuntu (and Ubuntu is the current home of the restricted drivers wizard too). The issue of Gnewsense is something I’m saving for another post

Would the option of converting MP3 files to Ogg not require an MP3 codec? So what you are suggesting is not a Gnewsense idea, but an Ubuntu idea.

Took a look. It seems quite good, and I’m pleased that they’re planning to add play/pause/record in a future release

Wiki on a Stick and Foxmarks are both great. I have had some problems using Wiki on a Stick on managed desktops, but you can usually get around that by using Portable Firefox

Wow!

I really like the longer pendants. Keep up the good work!

Heh. No. Nice try though…

So…… does that mean you’ve got some parts going spare?

Initially, yeah. Vista is certainly not going on it and some flavour of Linux WILL be going on it eventually…

But until I decide exactly what’s happening with it, Win Xp is there for now.

You got a Q6600 and then put XP Pro on it?

I’ve not even seen a 1Gb graphics card, but then I doubt I could afford one either…

Heather, your creativity never ceases to amaze me. this crown is beautiful… xx

As promised the post about Heath’s suicide (I still have my doubts about ’accidental’) has been removed.  To the hilarious person who said that I was a hypocrite…emmm, yeah….well I could probably launch into some rant justifying my choice to see the movie, or I could just say, that despite his life choices, Heath’s acting was all in all pretty good and this would in no way prevent me from seeing The Dark Knight.  Also, he isn’t the only actor in the moive.  I did get a kick out of the comment left, especially since there was no return email.  How very brave you are….whoever you are! Until next time………

Cool, but think about i18n, and it becomes madness… Because menu labels and gifs are really not the same from a language to another…
But that’d be nice to have…

So I have been waiting with baited breath for your review of a certain Saturday evening TV show.

Of course, under current rules, provided you watch the programme after the initial broadcast, you don’t need a licence to watch it on iPlayer.

i agree clarice bean is the most phab book I had ever read i just love it
i reed all her books about her

Nice of you to say so, old chap.

Cutest. Little girl. Ever.

Happy Birthday to the wee lass (Said in best neuro impression possible)…but honestly could you have gotten a more Tartan carpet !

The campaign to save Guy Incognito’s site starts here! Can you not put porn on it or something?

Wow…. it’s the end of an era. Sorry you feel that you don’t have anything unique to contribute - I always enjoyed reading your stuff, and will certainly miss it.

Still - you’re part of the Moose family, and will continue to be, whether or not you continue to blog (let’s face it - you’re still a good deal more consistent than Cheezy )

Well i agree its not magic but i dont see why that would make it any less of a show, the fact he can pick up the day in which a stranger was born and their star sign just from them repeatedly saying yes is amazing. Regardless of whether or not anyone can do it if they try hard enough, the fact is that hardly anyone does try hard enough to learn these skills which is why people pay good money to watch these skills performed live.

From The Realms of Chaos:
He doesn’t have a missus. He’s elsewhere on the net bleating on about ‘a painful separation’ or some such crap.
And she ain’t no fiscal either. Last I heard she was a Classroom Assistant or something.
Anyone seen the video of his ‘band’? Him and some other bloke being ‘weird’ and mumbling. It’s effing hilarious!
Oh and he’s still ‘playing’ the same bass line he was 20 odd years ago.

Sadly, I haven’t really touched it. It is, however, in a mostly usable state, if you’re interested. I used it again last summer, without any real problems.

did you ever get camp admin developed any further looking for something similar, thanks

Hmmm - I guess it depends on what you’re aiming to do. If it’s to get the cheapest shopping possible, then that’s one thing. If you’re aiming to revitalise the dying local marketplace rather than selling out to major corporations, then that’s another

Another (perhaps better) idea would be for a truely independent price comparison site where you place your shopping, and they guarantee to buy your ’stuff’ at the cheapest price.. so one week you might get a sainsbury’s home delivery, and the next Tesco etc etc.

I know exactly what you mean, I’ve just tried 2 take one now, chopped it in 2 quarters and took it with Ribena so i wouldn’t notice the taste..but still it wouldn’t go down! i just end up drinkin all the ribena with the tablet still left in my mouth. It reallyy upsets because I know it’ll work if I take it .. but I just can’t.

“No, we’re not ready…”…

“…OK, now we’re ready.”
This year I’m going to attempt to join the annual LugRadio marathon - initiated by mrBen (pictured below) - in the build up to LugRadio Live (the original and best UK version, unless someone wants t…

I live in Huddersfield and was woken up by the tremors. I was dreaming I was ’shaking’ and woke up to find it was real, it didn’t last very long though, no sound either! I looked at the clock and it was about 00.58

Felt the quake at 00:56 My first quake at the age of 45 nice one I must say. I live in rossendale lancashire bb46nb

Call it Thor!

THHHHHOOORRRR!!!!!!!

[…] been continuing to use whatever time I can to work on my little CMS project, which I have mentioned before. Just over a month has passed since then, and I have managed to progress a little further, […]

Bacula is a decent opensource solution that can also backup windows (IIRC). Transparency is probably the most difficult thing. I was looking into unison http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ the other day and it looked good.

If you are good with the shell and can set up shares for the winboxen, then create a script that smbmounts to a temp dir, back it up with tar, umount it and move on to the next client. You can even do incrementals by creating a filelist first with find and use mtime based on the last time that client was successfully backed up.

Hmmm - that’s weird. My problem is more that it remembers settings for networks I’ve connected to, rather than a full scan (thank goodness)

gconftool-2 –recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/networks/ESSID

I experience a similar problem with it not wanting to forget. When I drive home I use my laptop to play my oggs for me as my stereo does not work. When I get home I see every wireless connection from my work to my house listed. It takes it about an hour to forget all the old ESSIDs.

Thank you for posting the pictures and sharing with us. Though I’m not there, I get to feel a part of things.

All the best

Thanks for that mrBen, I’ll look into it some time. My script does look for more than Firefox: it looks for Opera, Konqueror too, the reference to Firefox was merely that if you do have Firefox installed, then it isn’t always launched with the same command. However, xdg-open does look like a better all-round solution.

You might want to look into (on the Linux side) ’sensible-browser’ and ‘xdg-open’, which aim to open the default browser chosen by the user, which may not be Firefox….

(I believe xdg-open is the standard, and part of the freedesktop spec, so should work in GNOME, KDE, XFCE at least - you could use your current code as a failover)

Ooops!

Your 40th decade? You’re looking good for your age!

@Aq. “I don’t double-click anything ever, because I’ve set Nautilus to use single-click”

Presumably you never use GTK dialogs then? (which happily ignore the setting in Nautilus).

I also hate double-clicking with a passion, and get really frustrated when double-clicking programmers do not cater for click settings because they are too ignorant to be aware of any other click method than their own.

It should also be noted that Microsoft own the patent on double-clicking.

What a gorgeous photo! Am looking forward to spending time with y'all this weekend and hope to be able to babysit mira at some point in the not too distant future! lol Jackie. xxhe1œÃ@œÃ

For laptop users you could allow them to use offline files, which would make the redirected my docs available :shrug: possibly worth thinking about
