Transitions And Discoveries

As I pack for college a few noteworthy things have happened. Firstly, my transition of my old desktop to a file-server and jukebox has progressed suprisingly well. I’ve gone ahead and installed the music player daemon (mpd) which allow remote control of audio. In the interest of clarity and ease of use in this area, [ READ MORE ]

Initially, there were some issues with X using Debian so under pressure from the guys, I downloaded an iso of Ubuntu and tried to install it. At first, a few things really impressed me about it. One, it detected my ipw2200 wifi [ READ MORE ]

Firewalls, Laptops and the New Kernel That Gives Me Sound

So my favourite tool of the moment is a little app called furl (sorry, but the links on the freshmeat page seem to be broken at the moment). It gets HTTP headers from webservers and displays the info in human-readable format. While it’s no replacement for a vgrep of the output of a misbehaving machine, [ READ MORE ]
