For all those that wish to know

Dual flush toilets. Not an amazing topic but still. After speaking to a few people that had no idea how to use one I hope to help by telling everyone.



The toilet has two flushes, a small one and a large one. The small flush is for wee's, and the large flush is for your poos.

This is to save water by not wasting a full flush when its not needed, and everyone should have a toilet like it.

Thanks for reading. Now FLUSH!

Happy Flappys - Happy Snappy

Just got back from Stratford, spent the night there with my girlfriend.

We visited the Stratford Butterfly farm, Its an amazing place, you walk in and are pretty much instantly surrounded by 100s of butterflies. I remember seeing butterflies a lot in my childhood but recently they seem to have all disappeared.

They all look amazingly beautiful, and its hard to capture how vibrant their colours were with a camera, but I tried.

I used my run-of-the-mill Canon A550, and I am very chuffed with the results.

Software Freedom Day - Saturday 15th September 
01 August, 2007, 07:14 - Linux, Open Source, News, Announcements, Events


Software Freedom Day is a global, grassroots effort to educate the public about the importance of software freedom and the virtues and availability of Free and Open Source Software. Local teams from all over the world organise events on the third Saturday in September. The most recent event involved over 200 teams from all over the world.

From http://softwarefreedomday.org/


I have registered a group for the Birmimgham, UK area. Because I registered before the 31st July I was able to get some free CD's, stickers and T-shirts to help with promoting the day.

I hope to get a group of like minded individuals together, to go out on Saturday 15th September, in a prominent spot in Birmingham City Centre, to give away free CD's, stickers and talk about Free and Open Source software.

I have created a wiki page on the SFD's website, linky. I have never organised anything like this before, so any and all help is gratefully needed.

If you have ideas, email me with them or post them on the wiki.

Thanks, and see you on the 15th September.

Great Midlands Fun Run - The End 
27 July, 2007, 06:01 - Announcements
I just sent off the sponsorship money that I raised from doing the Great Midlands Fun Run.

The grand total was £63. Not a lot, but I'm sure Amnesty International won't mind the extra cash.

I hope to do it again next year, but make more of an effort to raise money. Seeing as all I did this year was put up the sponsorship form in the work kitchen.

Xbox Media Tastiness 
13 July, 2007, 03:53
Managed to mod my Xbox, and install Xbox Media Center.

As the world of Xbox modding seems to be a world of broken links, and hazy, jargon filled guides I will attempt to come up with my own.

Watch this space.
