Welcome to my personal wiki where I keep all my loose ends. I moved from PMWiki at the end of October 2008, however you can still get the LynxWiki theme for PMWiki here.

I use this site predominantly to store information I might need to recall or pass on at some point, such as installing Linux on various systems and the problems encountered but there is a lot of Windows and STS related bits and bobs too.

Some of the information may become out of date, as its often recorded as I play with new systems, feel free to register and make changes.

Please feel free to use or expand on this information but I ask you recognize the work that people put into OSS projects by respecting the license.

Open University

I started studying with the OU for a BSc(Hons) Computing and Psychology in 2007 and for an IS oriented degree it's surprisingly Microsoft oriented. I'm studying Psychology this year so am not as IT oriented as usual.

Tutorials and guides to running Open University software under Linux.

Ubuntu

I've been a member of the Ubuntu Documentation Team for a few years, so most of my contributions are in the current Ubuntu trunk. These are bits and pieces accumulated over the years:

Unanswered Posts Team - The Unanswered Posts Team has a Firefox plugin that integrates with their tracking system. Bodhi.zazen hosts it but his certificate &&|| Firefox seems to be playing up, so I'm mirroring it here.
Howtos - Guides to various Ubuntu topics.
Huawei E1550 (3 Mobile UK)
ZTE MF627 slightly different to the Huawei.

Acer Aspire One

Popular piece of hardware, I carry one around with me and use it a lot. I use Arch Linux, which is very similar to Slackware but built around a better package management system called pacman.
