So just a few useful links I've found that I figured I would post, a) for my own sake, as I'm sure these are things I'll need again at some point, and b) for the benefit of anyone else who stumbles across this post.
So my laptop has been sent in for warranty repairs twice now. This morning, it has once again started failing to boot. Unfortunately, this time it's warranty is now well and truly expired, so there's now nothing to be done for it, but to scrap it. Unfortunately, Pioneer ...
So a few things have happened over the past couple of days.
So I conducted an experiment. I added a small Google Adsense ad to my site. 300+ page impressions later, not a single click. maybe if I start getting tens of thousands of hits a month, they might come back. But whilst I'm getting hundreds of hits, there's no ...
This is simply amazing. CSS3 is a wonder to behold. The alphabet rendered entirely in CSS3 and The Opera logo rendered entirely in CSS3. I'm not sure if either of these make for practical usage of the power CSS3 gives, but they do certainly demonstrate the limits (or lack ...
JustinSteward.com has now been moved to it's own server! Well, relatively speaking. It is now hosted on a physical server running Proxmox for virtualisation, and Cherokee for the webserver. In the coming days, Calsanne.com and RenShinDo will also be moved on to the new server as their ...

So while searching the TC extensions repository for some mouse configuration tools, I spotted an app called synergy. Intrigued by the name, I decided to check it out.
It's amazing. Getting it running on two TC machines is easy. First step is to install the tcz for synergy. Then ...
Once upon a time, man picked up two rocks, and bashed them together to see what would happen.
Thousands of years on, the most exciting thing in the scientific world, is STILL man taking two rocks[1], and bashing them together to see what happens.
In other news, TCL is ...
I beat Tetris. Yeah....
My saga with Tiny Core continues...
Suprise of suprises, I have wireless working on both of my laptops. I have 1280x800 res working on both laptops. I have sound (via ALSA) working flawlessly on one laptop, and working sort of acceptably on the other - No speakers, only headphones. Flash was ...
So yesterday I decided to play with a new linux distro. It's called TinyCore, and it's developed by the ex lead developer of Damn Small Linux, and has a philosophy whereby the operating system should be clean and pristine at every boot. The initial download is only 11 ...
Bought a laptop from pioneercomputers.com.au about 6 months ago. It's been a great little machine, except for 1 MAJOR problem...
The power boards are weak. I've had the power board replaced under warranty once already, and if last night's behaviour is anything to go by ...
