My Winamp 5.5 was not publishing my tunes to Last.fm
Have a look at this

But it was this that totally solved it
In preferences/general/ ipod/extra/last.fm : check the “submit even if no ipod is connected”

Clearly this is meant for an EEE pc but the theory stands to all machines with no CD Drive
my first tweet!
There has been quite a bit happening in my beloved home town of Graignamanagh (or Graiguenamanagh, or Graig!). Ann Phelan has been relected, which wasnt much of a shock ( Link to New Ross Standard) and we have had ourselves a bank robbery (Link to Kilkenny People )!!
It’s all very exciting so it is! Apparently the robbers stole a car five doors down from my home!
Mental!!

I like this article, very very true of the benefits and downfalls of PHP. As a developer i know once said about a certain php applicaiton, “it is a hole, wrapped in a flaw, help together by a series of vulnerabilities, but it works!”
This is a brilliant project in my opinion, and it deserves full support. Imagine if we never had to buy fossil fuels again for the purpose of generating electricity? This group estimates we spend about 30 Billion Euro on these fuels! Wouldnt that be the banking crisis almost averted??

Not too difficult to get this working. You need to have a DHCP server on your network for the way that i have set these up, as i have puit them into DHCP relay mode
Basically all you need to do is plug your network connection into any of the LAN ports, enable DHCP relay, and thats pretty much it. The Wireless trakes care of itself, but secure it if you need to

This last week ive been finding myself under stress. Thanks to a number of issues in work and at home, my stress levels have simply gotten the better of me.
Yesterday as soon as i got into my van i could feel tightness in my chest, and as i was going from job to job, i found that the tightness was dissipating as things went right, but the second there was a sniff of a problem, man that tightness was right back
Why am i this stressed? Well last week i had some major issues with a site and the Conficker worm. Long story short, it dragged on, and i began to question my technical skills. What was really needed on site was the ability to stand back and look at the overall situation. I did find the solution, but made some small errors while pushing to get the issue resolved made me really question my choice of career, like leaving a small desktop switch turned off, then pulling out hair trying to figure out why the owners pc wouldnt connect to the network!
So last night i had a dream. In it i deployed from start to finish 4 Windows XP Pro PC’s, straight from creating an unattend file to adding service pack 3 after the install! I mean i dreamt the entire thing like a freakin MS best practice webcast! Thats just not right!
Now that just isnt right!
