I bought two new domains last night. So this is what I'm planning...

Who are you?

I'm Stuart McCulloch Anderson, geek, system administrator, occasional web developer and php coder, back office builder, new media trooper.

I enjoy experimenting with Linux and other Open Source software in my spare time. I run a small home network as well as a collection of servers and experiment with different programs and learning new skills. This tinkering also allows me to fix small bugs in the software that I may uncover.

I program a range of languages for fun including PHP and shell scripting. I have many years experience with Website administration. I have been running my own web server for over 10 years now, and administering various web domains together with the handling of email services. The majority of this work is done for my own gratification and knowledge.

Its a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and I was just about to get stuck into my taxes when I noticed its been over a month since I bought my HP TouchPad, during its legendary fire-sale, with the intention of installing Android the first chance I got. Well I still haven't!

CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha 3 has been out now for a few weeks so I decided this would be a far better use of my day, taxes will just have to wait. Expect to hear how I get on soon

One problem with my ever growing collection of movies and tv is the volume wars between formats. Add in music video downloads from iTunes and Amazon and the variabations become extreme. With a little creative searching I found an addon that can be added to the ALSA sounds system on my Ubuntu installation to this work on-the-fly

You see Skype provides a bunch of free custom buttons but did not want to be tied into the default Skype buttons images. For more Skype users I imagine that would be fine, and if you are looking for is a quick and dirty method of displaying your Skype online presence the visitors of your website then I would recommend looking at the Skype free custom buttons wizard. However if you're looking for more control over what you presence icons will look like then continue reading I will explain how I produced mine.
