About

I am a 3rd year undergraduate student studying Computer Science at Essex University. This blog allows me to document my thoughts and provoke discussions on matters that are relevant. I have a small web design business that has been running for a few years now, and a wiki which I add to whenever I solve a problem–It’s mainly so I don’t forget, but you may also find it useful. Things that interest me and will be covered in this blog are:

Web development (CSS, XHTML, server-side scripting)
Graphic design (print and 3D–notably Blender)
Linux (FOSS, community, Gentoo, Ubuntu)
Servers (Web, email, SQL, backups)
Programming languages (PHP, Java, C, C++, Ruby, Python etc.)
Recreation (Snowboarding, Jazz–Saxophone, cars–Minis)

Mobile 3G Internet Yesterday I switched my mobile network provider to '3', mainly because of their attractive fixed-rate Internet bundle. For £5 I get 30 days Internet access, up to a 2GB data-transfer limit. Compare that to my previous network provider (who shall remain nameless) and my £5 would get me only 1MB...
Sony Ericsson phones reading ID3 tags I've been having trouble transferring/playing music on the SE W610i and K800i phones. Copying the MP3 files to the phone is easy--when you plug it in with the USB cable you can select 'File Transfer' on the phone and it will reboot as a mass storage device so Linux can...
Packard Bell Syntek webcam success Approximately 18 months ago, my girlfriend was looking for a small and light laptop to replace her broken iBook. The replacement laptop is a Packard Bell Easynote BU45-U-045 (I think that's the model number--product details). Most of the hardware is well supported by Ubuntu Linux--Intel...
