Building a media centre PC for your living room doesn't need to cost a fortune. With new low power processors with onboard graphics, you can put together a system capable of playing 1080p videos with DTS sound and still get change from £130.
I've split the components into two categories – Core and Additional. You…
Wouldn't it be great if there was a common data source you could query for all information about an area – bus timetables, ATM locations, cost of housing etc.?

You wouldn't think that a year that started with getting thrown of of my band would turn out to be so much fun but hey, it did.
The Trip
The first few weeks of the year were spent waiting to find out if I'd get approval to go work in Canada. Then it got approved and we had to wait and see if the Canadian Government…

I just spent the past four hours trying to work this one out so posting here to hopefully save me time when I have the same issue in 6 months time.
I've got a bunch of files on my unRAID server. For reasons then unknown, all of the files in one of the folders weren't showing up when viewed in Windows through the Samba…
I spent a while figuring this out about a month ago with a Linux expert colleague (hi, Caz!) but didn't write any of it down because it was going to be “fixed in the next release of Raspbmc”.
I'm still getting the issue with the latest release so thought I'd best document the steps for when I inevitably have to do…
