Get or compile https://github.com/qca/open-plc-utils in particular `plcstat`

For some reason it only reports devices other than the one connected to, so you will need at least two machines to monitor the whole network, and it has to be run as root.

So I have two root crontab's that sync to the same place the results of `....plcstat -i wlan0 -t` which looks like

Merging two different Amarok 2 collections

Submitted by Falken on

I don't think it's that uncommon to have two different installs of the excellent media player Amarok (for instance one at work and one at home) which share a media collection (over Dropbox or manually with rsync, for instance).
The problem is there is no way to synchronise the scores and ratings between these two computers, so I've had to build one.
I figured it might be useful, so here are the details of the steps to take, and a small Perl utility need to help out.

Flash Camp Manchester 2010

Submitted by Falken on

The latest Flash Camp event was held in Manchester last week, and was a day-long series of talks designed to inspire Flash and RIA developers - a 'taster' as we were told during the brief warm up.
Right off the bat everyone who went got a bunch of awesome freebies, from Thermos mugs to Adobe Rubik cubes, full copies of the FDT ActionScript IDE and a free film from the blinkbox streaming site; fairly awesome for a free event.

Mylyn Reports

Submitted by Falken on

I'm always saying how good the Mylyn plugin for Eclipse is, in keeping the UI focused on the task at hand.

Because it integrates with your issue tracker, the trackers reports can be used if you want a summary of what you did, or what's still left to do.

But what if you aren't using an issue tracker in Mylyn, just the 'local' repository, thus getting a lot of the benefits without needing to set up anything else ? How do you get the reports then ?

More Certificates

Submitted by Wheezy on

Here is yet more certificates to be uploaded, this should be the last batch of certificates.

For anyone who is interested I do also have the marriage certificate between the families of Todd and Parker, but they are too large to upload so contact me if you want to see them.

More Family Tree info

Submitted by Wheezy on

I have just spent over 2 hours updating and putting up the Family tree on a wall.  If you go to the Gallery, then Poynton House, then Family Tree you can see how large it is already.

We now have more history on the Chiverton line, including the Surname Brown and Goodchild.

I will shortly be uploading more certificates, this time from the Dawson and Ashton lines, along with some photos of these lines and the Chiverton line.

Happy research to everyone.
