I have just finished installing CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha 3 on my HP TouchPad. Its gorgeous. I cant say I ever become a fan of WebOS, unlike some I've talked to it never grew on me and the rare times when I did want to make use of it the App Market was far too over priced and in my experience limited, but now with Android the device 'sings'

Posted by root at 10:03 in Linux
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

Do I need an Anti-Virus on Linux?
Posted by root at 14:46 in Linux
I was recently ask by a new Linux convert now they should go about acquiring an Anti-Virus application and whether I would recommend McAfee of Norton. Without going into my own opinions about which might be better or worse I aim to clear up some of the confusion surrounding Linux Anti-Virus applications and what they are actually intended for.I was recently ask by a new Linux convert now they should go about acquiring an Anti-Virus application and whether I would recommend McAfee of Norton.

Ubuntu Ubiquity Installer Failing on RAID Remnants
Posted by root at 09:55 in Linux
While trying to install Ubuntu on an old hard drive I started encountering problems using the Ubiquity installer. I was able to complete the installation using the alternative CD with dmraid (SATA or Fake RAID) disabled. After tracing the problem to the old drive having once been used in a BIOS RAID Array I next had to search for a means to removing the RAID information from the drive meta-data with out losing or destroying any data.

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.

My HP TouchPad
Posted by root at 12:30 in root's Blog

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
