  Whilst the wedding is a great event for the participants, I am not interested in the slightest. However William was seen last night out on his motorbike in less than adequate gear (squidding) and confirming his continued love for Ducati - some would say at the cost of Hinckley. Triumph being the only mass produced British rival to the big Duke. Read more ⇒

• Why won't ssh-agent save my unencrypted key for later use? April 26, 2011

  Why won’t ssh-agent save my unencrypted key for later use? I recently was annoyed by always having to enter my private keys passphrase every time I wanted to do a git push to or pull from a public git repository. Turns out that if you are logged into a Gnome session on an Ubuntu machine it will automatically add you key to ssh-agent, but if you are logged into a bash session (as I was) then it won’t.

• Gearman, PHP and mod_gearman_status on Ubuntu February 11, 2011

  Installing Gearman is pretty easy as there are packages for it in Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install gearman libgearman-dev The development headers (libgearman-dev) are only required if you need to compile a library for your programming language such as a PHP extension. To install the PHP module you would run: sudo pecl install channel://pecl.php.net/gearman-0.7.0 If you have trouble with the above step then it is probably because you are running an older version of Ubuntu.

• Winter motorcycle storage: battery and electrical systems January 23, 2011

  There are many things to consider as you wrap your bike up for winter such as ensuring your fuel does not go stale, but the electrical system needs attention too. One of the most common failures when placing your motorcycle in storage is the battery losing charge and eventually becoming damaged beyond repair. Causes of battery failure Most vehicles have a residual draw that slowly saps power from the battery even with the ignition switched off, but this is exacerbated by the fitment of alarms or other after market accessories.

• Winter motorcycle storage: suspension and tyres January 5, 2011

  This is by no means an exhaustive list of steps for long term motorcycle (or car for that matter) storage, but a few tips I have picked up along the way. When a motorcycle is put into storage it will often remain in the same position for extended periods of time. This is not the intended purpose from factory though and as such the tyres and suspension will not thank you for it. Read more ⇒

• PHP Hangs When Fed 2.2250738585072011e-308 January 4, 2011

  PHP Hangs When Fed 2.2250738585072011e-308 A pretty horrible bug when you assign the number 2.2250738585072011e-308 to a variable PHP will hang on Linux or Windows 32bit builds of PHP. This does affect $_GET and $_POST variables as well and as such could be an exploit in some PHP sites. So the following code will break your PHP for example: $var = 2.2250738585072011e-308; Or if a page is given a GET parameter like page. Read more ⇒
