Not good

Not good

Some bugger nicked my phone. We went out to the LUG meeting last night, and between leaving the place and getting home, my phone was nicked. We tried to ring it and it was off, so someone has pocketed it and ensured that it is turned off. I know that it is not anyone...
OK, here it comes

OK, here it comes

Right, prepare yourself for the bacon review of the third installment of the Matrix. We went to the cinema in wolves, sat down with popcorn and fanta in hand and prepared for the film. What I was then treated to for the next two hours or so was a complete, engorged,...

Work, rest and…more work

I have finished by Blender series now for Linux Format. It is a bit of a shame really, as it was a really fun series to write, but I am pleased that Blender has had a lot of exposure in the magazine. When the final part is published in January, the series will have...

Headbanging

Headbanging

Since the age of nine when I first heard the glory that is Iron Maiden, I have headbanged quite a bit. There I could be seen, out with friends, banging my head to the lucent tones of distorted guitars and thudding double bass drums. With great pleasure I can say that...
Wireless madness continues

Wireless madness continues

Right, this is starting to freak me out. My wireless card decided last night to stop working. I can see the card in the PCMCIA services and insmod the driver fine, but in terms of grabbing an IP address…nada. I have no idea why this is doing it. Consequently, I...

Wireless strangeness

Weird…I just went to use my laptop and my wireless seemed to not want to work. I checked that the module was being loaded and it complained that my kernel had been compiled with a different version of gcc to my atmel drivers. I had not done any compiling since...
