Here’s a simple way to copy files to and from your BlackBerry PlayBook when you’re using Ubuntu. This should work with any form of Linux.
This is a step-by-step tutorial with screenshots.
On The PlayBook
Plug your PlayBook into your Linux computer using a USB cable. You may see this screen (or similar) you can [...]
This is a review of the Y-Cam Knight SD. I previously reviewed the Y-Cam S in 2009. I got this camera for a 30% discount thanks to Y-Cam’s social media team. Adjust your bias filters accordingly.
Unboxing
Linux Set Up
To set the camera up, you need to use its internal webserver. [...]
This is a quick tutorial to show you how to rip DVDs on a headless server. That is; one which only has command line access.
The documentation for MakeMKV is available. It’s a bit sparse. It also doesn’t have many of the features of the GUI.
For example, the GUI allows you to select [...]
(These notes are mostly for my own benefit).
Android is moving away from USB Mass Storage. You will no longer be able to plug in a USB cable and have your Android show up as a USB disk. There are some good technical reasons for this, but it is a pain if you want [...]
I’m in love with my keyboard! The Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is a dream to type on. Large, well spaced keys, split keyboard, and a whole host of extra media buttons.
There’s only one tiny problem. Two of the buttons don’t work in Linux – specifically, the keyboard scroll [...]
Hurrah! Spotify have released a native Linux player which works with free accounts!
These notes show (which are mostly for my benefit) show you how to install it and configure your multimedia keyboard so the play/pause key controls the music on Spotify.
Download Spotify for Linux. It’s available in 32bit or 64bit.

This is a question I’ve posed in the Ubuntu forums, but I haven’t found the answer yet.
I’ve got a great little IP security camera – the Y-Cam. It’s Internet accessible, so it can email me photos of any suspicious behaviour. It will also stream video and audio to a number of devices [...]
Two quick patches which should be in the next version of Calibre PHP.
Adding File Size
This shows the sizes of the eBook files.

(These are mostly notes to myself!)
I love Calibre, it’s the perfect eBook management tool. It comes with a built in WWW server so you can easily access your library on the go. The only problem is that this really only works if you have a single machine dedicated to Calibre. For various reasons, I [...]
Every so often I find a device which – inexplicably – doesn’t include Linux support.
I’ve been very impressed with how well Ubuntu runs on the Lenovo ThinkPad X200. Everything worked out of the box – with the exception of the fingerprint reader (AuthenTec AES2810).
Now, I know that fingerprint readers can easily [...]
For the last few weeks I’ve been unable to run Spotify in Linux using WINE. I was continually getting a crash with this error message:
Unhandled page fault on read access to 0×00000068 at address 0x7bc34e57
After lots of fruitless digging around, I discovered that the issue is with the Facebook integration!
The fix is [...]
