    So new theme

    So quickly found a new theme which is fairly customisable, need to track down some nice header images now and maybe play with the colouring… progress (sort of)

    Why?

    did no one tell me the old theme was dark (obvious) stylish (well to me) but totally unusable…

    Theme hunting begins again, back to a default one for now.

    Working it out.

    (had this sitting in drafts since before Christmas, thought it might be time to share it)

    So I have a shiny new MBP to play with, accidental order to be honest, but a useful one at that, I’ve gone through and done the magic OSX transfer, updated the licenses that didn’t “quite” transfer and have now [...]

    Theme

    Found the theme I had just moved to under drupal, just need to update it to support widgets (and from taking a quick look at the code a whole load of other changes – which I’ll never get around to doing), once I get the chance I’ll quickly post up the process I went through [...]

    Amazing, I’d never be so slapdash with a client site, and yet here I am with my site, updated, but missing the modules I was running on it, and the theme I’d hacked together…

    …and no backup

    *twat*

    Update – looks like I’m mostly back up and running, time to take a backup of the files, and not [...]

    Using Linux gets you a detention

    A teacher in the UK has demonstrated just how switched on the education establishment is to the uses of Linux and how much it is used around the world:

    “This is a world where Windows runs on virtually every computer and putting on a carnival show for an operating system is [...]

    Being social

    So these days I’ve gone social, not as in going out and meeting people and that sort of thing, just in registering for a few “social” sites and then a couple of content aggregation sites I seem to have developed a circle of sites I keep up to date with little random comments, pics and tweets.

    I can be found lurking here of course, but also at the following

  • Auto-Scaling

    Came across an interesting comment piece on why auto-scaling in cloud computing is bad, if you are looking at cloud computing as a silver bullet or bored of the current marketing buzz surrounding the “cloud” it’s worth a
