I came across this video and just had to share it with someone, but I had more to say than would fit into Facebook or Twitter (and who uses Google+?!) I love that he is so excited that he can barely speak. It’s absolutely great that someone from one of the older generations (read: alive [...]

I run a WiFi hotspot using the ChilliSpot software. I have tried both HotSpotSystem.com and Coova.net’s billing services, over the course of two (2) years with about one (1) year on each service. I, unfortunately, did this backwards by moving across to Coova about a year ago in the hopes of finding a more manageable service. I am [...]

I’m unaware how long this has been an issue, as it only reared its head after a restart of both my InspIRCd server and my desktop which I use to reach said server with XChat for Windows running. I had some problems with failed handshakes from XChat for Windows when connecting to my freshly rebooted [...]

I along with countless others have opened a wireless network to allow strangers access via an internet connection that I pay for. I charge a modest amount which helps towards my internet charges (but doesn’t completely negate them), but primarily it’s open to allow others access when they would ordinarily be unable such as due [...]

I’ve looked at possible cross-platform mobile device development frameworks, and came across Appcelerator a company with the product “Titanium”, which ordinarily is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. However, if at any time I decide I need extra functionality than that provided by the default product the Titanium+Plus modules such as the urban airship module are [...]

ver the years I’ve acquired a rather large music collection of about 100GB or 17000 files. Unfortunately a lot of these are badly labelled and categorised. Music files such as MP3 have the option to store so-called “metadata” or (information/data about data) which describes the music stored within the same file. This is the so-called [...]

I’ve not posted about this before now, even though the network has been operational for a few months now. I am a founding member of a new Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Network that allows anybody to talk with friends for free. The network is comprised of four geographically diverse servers, two of which are my [...]

So, it’s late into the morning again, and I’m awake in what appears to be a progressive cycle. Ho hum. random service update At least I can be of some use; to that end I’ve been reorganising the FreeCh.at DNS servers to hopefully improve our load-balancing “round robin” which randomly sends users to each of [...]

There has been some discussion on the FreeChat IRC Network about the email system for reducing SPAM called “Sender Policy Framework”. This system uses the network of servers used worldwide to transform the readable domain name (such as my thehoneymonster.com) into the computer address which uniquely globally identifies the server operating said service (in this [...]

My Dad sent me this link to the Movement for Active Democracy website. Below is my response to my Dad explaining my own views. I got to the fourth video and couldn’t will myself to go any further. What he says souds idealistic, but implementing it would be somewhat harder than he seems to think. [...]
