After getting the wireless network card working on my raspberry pi I got straight to work on testing out the camera module on the pi. I found a lot of websites talking about how the module works and how to hook it up. The commands you need to take photos and stills but a severe […]
I’ve finally got some time to do some work on my time-lapse project when I hit a brick wall straight off the bat. My $15 tiny wireless adaptor from Asus wasn’t working so I did some digging to try to work out what was going on. I first tried to use the GUI WiFi Config and […]
If you have read some of my other posts you’d know that I’ve got a couple of Network Attached Storage devices from QNAP and Synology. I’ve settled on using the Synology as my primary array with the QNAP as a backup. I recently moved into a new apartment with 100mbit fibre Internet and this has […]
I’ve recently switched to using nginx + php-fpm + mariaDB for the backend running this WordPress blog and running it on a micro instance on amazon web services. I did this because I wanted to learn some newer technologies and see how they differ from the standard LAMP setup that I’m so familiar with. While doing so I […]

I’ve used WordPress to build catalog sites, e-commerce sites and even an ebay/etsy like market place. Some people like to have […]
Active directory authentication for CentOS is quite easy to configure. Active directory is a central authentication system and organisations all over the world have relied on it for years. This is super easy to set up for your Windows and Mac desktops but is sometimes a little harder with a Linux workstation. This is all done […]
The other night I was helping a friend out and they needed a better adsl router/wireless router and I happened to have one of these Cisco SRP527W units at home. It’s a good little set and forget device (when they behave) so I thought I’d install that. A few things that I had forgotten about […]
I’ve done a few dozen installs of the new office 2013 on various machines lately and until now all email hosting has been through either gmail or 0ffice365 so I hadn’t come across the issue of messages being stuck in the outbox. In my case the email account in question was an IMAP account and […]
