Using my debian/lenny linux laptop on 2.6.24

1. Setup your rfcomm bluetooth interface

Heres some code attached I wrote last year but havent published it on drupal.org just yet, it's my python background server for drupal actions, or put simply "Asynchronous python daemon for Drupal interaction"

Just perfect for managing actions that require long, cpu or filesystem intensive operations such as encrypting, building a file, or even interfacing with other hardware/usb/bluetooth etc etc

heres my gnucash account recipe

Initial setup

- Set up your bank account as "Assets:BendigoBank passport account" or whatever your income lands into, set your opening balance as of the financial year

- set up a "Assets:AR" as type Accounts/R

- Setup any Expense sub-accounts, these need to be defined prior to importing the QIF as theres a bug in the QIF importer.

Importing your QIF

For savings/bank account type

GOLD! Absolute genius

I've been playing a LOT of UrbanTerror mostly because zog recommended it and it has AMD 64bit precompiled binaries available to play. This is a great game, the graphics arent so great, but as far as just get in there and start-shooting fix, its great. From the UrbanTerror site..

Urban Terror is a free multiplayer first person shooter, that does not require Quake III Arena. It is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh. The current version is 4.1.

A simple but effective drupal newsletter module

Simplenews scheduler sends a newsletter as a re-occurring item based on a schedule.

Simplenews scheduler does so by creating a new "edition" (rendered copy) of a node at the time that it required to be sent again, the original newsletter is never sent but all editions are according to a pre-defined schedule, this is triggered via hook_cron

It's sure been great to produce a fairly traditional "ecommerce" site in drupal using Ubercart and paymate australia merchant interface.

So I bring you Aussie Work Wear , a very clean site for selling industrial / work wear with a great user interface.

Found this great book printed in 1936! Covers everything from Ptolemy, to the Portugese fleets, Dutch fleets, drunken judges and lawyers as convicts! This book seems to pay particular attention to the colonization and formation of each state, explorers that traversed the land (Hume, Flinders etc) Plenty of maps and slabs of really interesting anecdotes

Heres a handy script I use to normalize and compress the audio in podcasts downloaded by my Democracy / Miro player.

This is much nicer when im sitting at my desk working and listening, i dont need to fiddle with the volume-knob mid sub-routine when i'm coding, very handy for smoothing out audio in news feeds where they have a loud news banner/jingle/intro sound followed by various voices.

This just runs at cronjob using 'normalize-audio' audio package
