Just got a Raspberry Pi3 and a bluetooth keyboard and annoyed that the media keys for doing things like change the column don't work ?
Just add these to ~/.config/openbox/lxde-pi-rc.xml after all the other <keybind> before the </keyboard>

Heart of noise : first two tracks mini review

After a brief fight with the website, I got my advance copied of the first two tracks as part of the physical 'fan box'

Any complaints from the first part of the album that it wasn't Jarre enough with all the collaborations can be instantly dismissed.
This is him on top knob twiddling form, albeit sounding very digital.

Part one is a slow epic wide Bladerunner style piece. Goes well with the bleak snowy weather I have at the moment.

Part two speeds it up a little and underlies the melody with heavier bass beats. I think we have the making of a classic here.

Quick note on these PowerLine devices.

They don't need any tools to manage them, as they have a sufficient web interface.

BUT - these devices are terrible network citizens.

Epson XP-312 ink status script Falken Sat, 01/24/2015 - 14:29

The following script outputs the percentage of each ink tank from an Epson XP-312 313 or 315 series WiFi enabled printer.

The output looks like

K:96 C:80 M:12 Y:34

which is perfect for feeding into Cacti or other monitoring systems. Guess I'd best go get some magenta ink !

Should you ever stop looking?

If I'd have given up 4 years ago, then my family tree would have been left looking like this....DSC04135however by never giving up searching, this week I have made contact with a relative in America. We found 1 joint relative and between our knowledge figured out that we were related. He has given me over 20 more directly related family names & story that need adding to this wall.

What an amazing week

What a week, I need to take a breath before I write this one up.......

Monday was awesome, not only did I write the Workshop manual for my event on August 15th, Invoicing and cash collection workshop I also prepared for my first Barnswood Scout Camp committee meeting as Treasurer. We had masses to discuss, it ran quite late, but for a first meeting I was very proud of how it went. I just need to send round some more documents (no don't groan please guys)!!
