Policy descision

Since I'm unlikely to post regularly, and Facebook is there for social stuff, I'll (probably) be posting topics and then editing them to turn them into something more readable than simple "notes to self".

We'll see how long I keep that up and how far I get using MaStory on my N900.

Streaming the new style BBC radio links

[Late repost from 10 Jun 2010]

The real audio links got replaced recently and my links for Radio 4 stopped working.

Rather than mess about simply use the file the BBC hands out as a playlist.

mplayer -playlist http://bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r4.asx

Buffalo WLI-PCM-L11G Wireless card

[late repost from 26 May 2010]

It's this driver you nead to use to get this old card to work with WPA under XP.

Buffalo haven't bothered to update their drivers (even if you can find the "legacy" site)

 

Unzip the driver collection to a temporary location.

Open Device manager with the card inserted, change driver, browse to location. Install it.

 

PS any button on softpedia that say "Download Now" is an advert link !

Finally created a blog

Got arround to creating a blog at last.
I expect I'll just be using it to note technical things that I want to keep for reference.
Added then edited using MaStory on my N900.
