Looking for a nice little burst of nostalgia on this fine Saturday evening? Don’t feel like going through the process of installing MAME and lurking for ROMs, but still want to get your classic arcade on? Back in December of last year, the Internet Archive (in their effort to backup the entire digital world, one …
In the past I have reviewed MakuLinux MATE Edition, which came with a very polished and beautiful interface, but also bundled in the ISO a big number of applications to be installed. At the time the MATE edition made a very good impression on me, so I kept a close eye on the development of …
If there’s one thing Lian-Li is good at, it’s making very pretty cases entirely out of aluminum. The company’s latest number is no exception, although we don’t entirely see why a NAS enclosure has to look so good. Despite the lavish form, the PC-Q26 also has function to back it up, so it’s not a …

I created this HOWTO while building a new development environment today. The intention is to take a single Apache2/Varnish/MySQL environment and scale it to two servers, with one effectively a “hot-standby” – increase redundancy and continuity whilst maintaining current performance. This HOWTO is based on Linux Debian-76-wheezy-64-minimal 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 x86_64 via MySQL …
For now, I want to focus on the most controllable element of a job search: your resume. The sole purpose of a resume is to get you past that first screen and into an interview. In my last post, “The Biggest Mistakes I See on Resumes, and How to Correct Them,” I covered the all-too-common …
Before my last extended period travelling and using public networks, I decided to set up a new low spec virtual machine on one of my hosted servers. I trust my datacenter and their uplinks more than I trust the free WiFi and public networks I travel through, and so while all my internet traffic is …
A single point in time can be represented by concatenating a complete date expression, the letter T as a delimiter, and a valid time expression. For example “2007-04-05T14:30”.If a time zone designator is required, it follows the combined date and time.
