Note to self: This enables fan control on the Acer Aspire One (110)

Might be added to /etc/rc.local

Google chrome really is one gem of a browser. On my not so powerful laptop you really notice how slim on resources it is and I have been using it as my primary browser for a couple of months now with great success. Now, when plugin support has been enabled and several plugins are available you can really start enjoying the browser. But there are quite a few important plugins still missing where, for me at least, an ad-blocker and delicious bookmark plugin is top of the list. Continue reading…

Quite often I hear that people that I talk to on the phone complain that I sound very far away when I use the headset that is shipped with the iPhone. I almost always end up practically putting the mic in my mouth for people to be able hear me. Something needed to be done and instead of buyig a new wired headset I ended up buying the Samsung SBH650 bluetooth dongle (or whatever it is called). Continue reading…

Alot of things are good with Linux, but my absolute favorite is probably cron. With a problem in hand, some bash scripting knowledge and creativity you can schedule pretty much anything to be monitored or what ever you would like to do.

I have a small file server at home with an upload directory where my friends and family can drop files they want to share with me. Quite often they upload photos and stuff without notifying me which made me think of a script to check the directory for content. Continue reading…

This is probably the most simple plugin for Wordpress that was ever made. Either I am blind or my google skills are extremely bad, but I cannot find a way to insert a horizontal line in the visual editor in Wordpress.

Many seem intimidated by the html view, including my sister who I initially made this plugin for, and chose to use alternative methods to get these separators in. Continue reading…

Kalla mig gärna avundsjuk, säg att jag har mindervärdeskomplex och nämn för all del också att jag är en stor anhängare av jantelagen. När det gäller Zlatan så rör det mig inte i ryggen för nu måste det vara bevisat bortom alla rimliga tvivel att han är en fjant. Och detta säger jag, en fotbollsfantast av rang, som egentligen borde tycka att Zlatan är det bästa som finns, alla kategorier. Continue reading…

Not long ago the EU threatened Microsoft with huge fines if they didn’t do something about the fact that their webbrowser, Internet Explorer, pretty much was forced upon the users. Other manufacturers had (still have?) no chance when trying to promote their own products. In one way I think this action by the EU is quite alright but I also think it is a bit silly. Eventhough Explorer is shipped with the operating system, you can still install any other browser that you wish to use. I don’t really see a problem, but enough about that. What Apple is doing is far more serious and irritating. Continue reading…

Tänk dig att vakna upp varje morgon och känna att allt är skit. Sängen är dåligt byggd och dom som har producerat kaffet du dricker till frukost har gjort ett synnerligen dåligt jobb. Så där börjar det, och fortsätter sedan i exakt samma stil under resten av dagen. Vecka efter vecka. År efter år. Continue reading…

Med den här texten inser jag att jag kommer idiotförklara vissa av mina vänner. Jag vill därför börja med att säga förlåt till er och säga att jag älskar er ändå. Eller ja, jag tycker i alla fall om er lite grann.

Nåväl. Rökare… vad är det som får denna grupp av människor att fortsätta förpesta sig själv och sin omgivning? Beroende så klart, men hur svårt kan det vara att sluta med något som förkortar ens liv? Continue reading…

I have started working on a theme of my own for wordpress and in fact, it is what you are looking at right now. I call it ToThePoint because that is what I hope it will be.

Ever since I started using wordpress I have struggled to find a theme that I like. I want a simple one column theme, and sure, there are quite a few around that looks promising but they all fall short in some areas. As with everything else, if you could only combine the best parts of them all into one… Continue reading…
