NO LONGER MAINTAINED

The pages here are no longer being maintained. They are left here for reference in the unlikely event you once found something on my old wiki which was of use to you. I have started to create a new wiki, some of the pages may have made it to the new wiki and been updated in the process.

Linux

Hardware

This is a kit list for my stuff at home, as you will see from the specs, this is not a list for bragging rights ;-)

Here is how I flash BIOS, Firmware etc from a Linux machine with no access to a floppy drive or Windows.

File System Stuff

I have recently decided to migrate my workstation, laptop and disk arrays to XFS. I've also migrated my netbook to XFS as well. The page below explains how I arrived at that decision and how I tune XFS to get optimal performance.

Server Stuff

I have several servers at home (running under VirtualBox) which provide DNS, DHCP, media streaming and print services for the house LAN. I have some other servers that run my websites and mail servers. The page below explains how I setup my servers.

Multimedia Stuff

I have dabbled with using Linux as a media server for steaming content to my PS3. Here are my notes.

Having created a media server it needed populating with content. Here is how I currently do that.

I bought a full HD camcorder in early 2010, I'm interested in importing clips from the camera to Linux in the correct way the page below is what I've learnt so far.

Desktop Stuff

I only use Linux workstations, and only use Ubuntu as my workstation OS. Anything useful regarding how I use/configure my Ubuntu workstation will can be found below.

Virtualisation

I've used VMWare and VirtualBox and am currently experimenting with Linux Containers and may take a closer look at KVM in the future.

Mobile Phone

Home Cinema, Entertainment Stuff and Gadets

I am a home cinema enthusiast, here is some stuff about that and other things too.

Programming

I have contributed to several Open Source projects over the years, and even run a few of my own. Pretty much all my programming efforts are for work now, but occasionally I have a little dalliance outside of work. Any scripts, programs or notes can be found below. You'll probably find it useless ;-)

Source Control

I used to host my own source control servers but now use Launchpad. Below are my notes for setting up Bazaar and Subversion servers.

App Inventor

I am dabbling with App Inventor. The following are useful.

Here are some projects which are also interesting for mobile device development.

Development Environments

I don't use Eclipse any more since the majority of my development is either either Python (for which I use WingIDE) or shell scripts (for which I use Gedit).

Web Stuff

Content Management

Food and Drink
