Damian posted a link to a very funny graphic on the so called evils of Wifi the other day. When I saw the following post for an uber wardriver box linked to from the Make blog.

So based on that post, and the graphic of course, this has to be the greatest baby eater ever!

Baby eating aside, the slurp project looks really nice

A very good post (including link to video of show in question) on the Panorama episode this graphic was alludes to, can be found here

Last night I was creating an image to try out the latest Ubuntu variant, UbuntuStudio, the install was taking a long time though, it was late, and I wanted to go to bed.

For the heck of it, I hit the Suspend button, and then wondered what that would do to installation process… “hmmm, will I have to start again?” was my worry. To find out, I hit resume and hey presto, the installation resumed just fine.

Nice.

I use liferea as an rss feed reader – and until today, had not figured out how to add the rss feeds automatically to liferea.

It turns out to be rather simple, as liferea provides a DBUS interface script to add feeds automatically. From firefox, click on the RSS icon (orange icon) that appears in the address bar. A page will load with a yellow header from which you select a number of predefined applications (or webservices).

Select ‘Choose Application‘ from the ‘Subscribe to this feed’ drop down. In the file locater that appears, enter ‘/usr/bin/liferea-add-feed‘.

If you select the button that reads ‘Always use liferea-add-feed’ – anytime you click on the rss feed icon – that feed will automatically be added to liferea.
