This post describes my experience using a Raspberry Pi as a wireless VPN gateway. In particular, how to solve the terrible performance I had initially.
WordPress is a website creation and blogging platform that I have used for a number of websites (including this one). It’s very quick to install, highly customisable and well supported. You can find out more and download an installer from WordPress.org.
I have been doing more work on flash memories and decided to write up the notes I have been taking.
This article is about the technology behind flash memory: how data is stored, the architecture of flash memories and (briefly) how data is read, written and erased. (This may turn into a series with more detail on various aspects of flash technology.)
I don’t know WTF just happened in the UK parliament. It is complete chaos. After tonight’s votes it seems that this government (and parliament) are out of control and totally ineffective.
A while ago, I found myself with more work than usual, for several different clients. There were about a dozen projects to finish in a few weeks and I was beginning to lose track of where I was with all of them. I looked around at various tools that would help keep on top of all this.

Apparently, Farage and other UKIP/Brexiter morons are up in arms about the EU referring to Gibraltar as a “colony”. These are the same people who want the old “blue” (black) passports back. You know, the ones that referred to Gibraltar as … you guessed it … a colony.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) based on flash memory are increasingly replacing hard disk drives (HDDs) for mass storage in many applications. A quick check of an online retailer showed that about half the laptops and desktop computers used SSDs.
One of my recent projects was an article on the display technologies used in mobile phones, laptops, TVs, etc. As is often the case, I learnt a lot from researching the piece. Which was useful as I was thinking it is about time to buy a new TV.
