Sorry for the change of theme. In my efforts to make this site more organised I found out that the WR-Elite theme I was using is incompatible with links to categories. I’ve informed its creators and hopefully they will fix it. In the mean time please tell me what you think of how my site is at the moment.

maybe has prevented rm test_file from performing 1 file system operations:
delete /home/ryan/test_file
Do you want to rerun rm test_file and permit these operations? [y/N]

After my last post I started working on a prototype for a podcast client that supports what I am talking about. If I work at a good pace I ought to have a beta out around the end of this month.
I just suffered a massive data loss due to using btrfs on my PC; Do not let yourself be next! Avoid btrfs at all cost!
Topics I might write about
A quick list of things that I am looking at writing about. Bug fixing on LibreOffice, KDE and other open source projects. How I get the most out of my computer (shell scripts, KDE setup, server config, etc). Draw attention to non-action graphic novels. Music history / reviews (mostly prog rock and euro metal). Pros… Continue reading Topics I might write about
Interesting side effect of China changing their one-child policy; There was an increased investment in diary products, raising the New Zealand dollar thus reducing the hosting bill for this website. I don’t think it will last until next month :-(
