http://anthonyheptinstall.blogspot.com/2010/08/chapter-four.html

Everything that's in my head. What is going on with myself and my projects. Posted by Tony Heptinstall Sunday, 26 September 2010. One day, when Adam was sitting up in bed fielding another round of questions, he suddenly declared,. 8216;I’m better now, can I go home? 8216;No’, said Dougal bluntly, shooting Adam a hunted look. 8217;, asked Adam, playing for time until he thought of valid, water tight reason. 8216;Why do you want to go home? 8217;, said Dougal. 8216;But where’s here? There was a palpable ri...

Everything that's in my head. What is going on with myself and my projects. Posted by Tony Heptinstall Wednesday, 29 September 2010. Adam had been crying now for a staggering three hours and thirty seven minutes and if truth be known, he was getting really sick of it. Funerals would be OK though, as no one would notice but other than that, it was just tears, tears and more tears. 8216;What if the neighbours hear this? At 11:30 Adam was disintegrating like a blazing, ice filled comet. 8216;These tears wil...

Everything that's in my head. What is going on with myself and my projects. Posted by Tony Heptinstall Monday, 27 September 2010. Adam is falling in a deep, still fathomless ocean. He sinks like a stone, deeper and deeper into an all enveloping blanket of ink. As the weight of water increases so the pressure mounts until all movement becomes impossible. Presently, a distant voice rouses Adam from his slumber. 8216;Wake’, it says coldly. 8216;Now is the time to wake’. 8216;Wake and open up your eyes’.

An IT Manager's Tale: June 2014

http://itmanagerstale.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Monday, 2 June 2014. In praise of Kobo. Around about 3 years ago I was given a Kobo E Reader by my brother in law as a birthday present (it could have been Xmas but I digress.). The choice was actually mine but he bought it. Around 6 months ago the Kobo started to play up a bit. I found that it would no longer mount as a separate drive when attached via USB to a computer and it seemed a little bit slower. I had backed up my books to a computer and the ones that were bought from the Kobo store wer...Then ...

Monday, 6 June 2011. Use Ubuntu to present your SAN to the network. Use Ubuntu to present your SAN to the network. Ive recently been working on a way to improve our backup procedures. We back up to the network initially and I had been doing this using windows backup to a network drive. This does work: but it slow and unreliable: so I decided that a good way forward would be to present the drive to the file server locally via a SAN. Posted by Phil Mulley. Links to this post.

Sunday, 23 June 2013. Get an up to date version of Clementine for your Debian based setup. My favourite linux audio player is Clementine. You can get this in the debian repositories but its a bit out of date: but there is an extra repository which is much more up to date and works a treat with debian, here. So just update your sources.list and off you go. Posted by Phil Mulley. Links to this post. Get an up to date version of XBMC on your debian rig. This is what I did.

Tuesday, 25 September 2012. No luck with the second job either. After a period of radio silence I got in touch with the agent who was talking about the job in London at the financial firm. It turns out that the firm has persuaded the incumbent chap to stay on. It would have been nice if someone had bothered to let me know! If I get sold any more pups I could open my own kennels.

Sunday, 23 June 2013. Get an up to date version of XBMC on your debian rig. I am a big fan of the latest version of XBMC : frodo (version 12). If you are using an Ubuntu based distro then you can get hold of this latest version with no problems. If, you are still after version 12 on a Debian distro: what to do:. Quite a bit of that page is in German, but fear not, the important bits are in English as well. This is what I did. When I build machines for those very new to linux who need reliability above al...
