Strange Pants

Jonathan has just started Fiji Trash, a blog for dobbing in people who litter , and has opened with words and pictures about a trashy truckie.

And he wants more vigilantes out on the streets: you find litter bugs, he’ll publish your evidence.

Recommended litter-bug catching equipment:

• A camera (the one on your mobile phone is probably the handiest)
• A good eye (for spotting fast-moving trash throwers)
• Access to the internet (for uploading the evidence)

Go get them!

After buying a new printer for use at home, I was looking around for an easy way to share it.

A little investigation of the Kidanet Alvarion router sitting in the house revealed a USB port. A few Google searches later, a manual with instructions on how to configure a printer to use the built-in USB print server

Brilliant. The wife and I can both use the printer without juggling cables!

Kidanet’s choice of client-side equipment continues to impress me: PoE, Wi-Fi, 4 ethernet ports and a USB print server wrapped into a nice little router that comes with your plan.

SVN has been my choice of code repository and version control software since I dumped Microsoft’s abortive Visual Source Safe a couple of years ago.

One of the down-sides of SVN has been getting buy-in from Windows-based developers and admins who fear the command line. SVN, of course, thrives on the command line.

VisualSVN Server to the rescue: a WIMP tool for installing and managing an SVN server on Windows. It looks after installing Apache and and SVN, and provides a management utility for configuring repositories and users.

VisualSVN Server is free; it’s creators also make and sell VisualSVN, an SVN plug-in for Visual Studio.
