It’s always the little things. Went to the local supermarket this morning to pick up some supplies and scored a tonne of bargains. Discount stickers everywhere I tell you. In the basket Pork Chicken Bologne Pasta Sesame seeds Lettuce Tomato (x2) Kale (x4) Okra Carrot Broccoli Bean sprouts Ginger Limes and a can of coke All for the princely sum of THB 445 ~ USD 13.50 Max Valu indeed! Amazing Thailand
Showing my age now. Time to work on building up my 2nd Rasberry Pi. This time I’m going to install Retropie and see if I can get one of my old games up and running. • Step 1 – Download Retropie

It’s 612MB so will take a while. Enjoy a nice cup of tea while you wait and read the installation guide. Don’t attempt to download a file this large via HTTP. Timed out for me, so I used FTP instead. Downloaded via my webhost using wget, copied into my FTP home directory then used FileZilla to download from…
Thought I should keep track of the apps I’m installing on my Rasberry Pi. • Dolphin (file manager) • vim (editor) • PHP 7.0 • nginx (web server ; removed apache2) • pinta (graphics) • VLC media player • ufw (uncomplicated firewall) • x11-apps (xclock, xcalc, etc) Update nodejs curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash – sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Networking Plugged in the ethernet cable and it just worked! Nice one. However we no longer have eth0? It’s now exnb827eb071dfd and it isn’t configured via /etc/network/interfaces Explanation found here: Predictable Network Interface Names are not new, but…
I picked up a few Rasberry Pis from Amazon.com and I’m glad I waited a while so I could get the Pi 3, which seems to be a step up from its predecessor in terms of performance. Amazon.com now delivers to Thailand and includes taxes in the shipping so there’s no more to pay. This is a huge step forward as previously dubious import charges were levied by the courier. Thankfully a thing of the past I can now browse Amazon with confidence. As a bonus, it only took 3-4 days to arrive at my doorstep. Yeah! My total was…
Had a wander around the web in the wee hours of this morning and came across Emmet which I thought looked interesting so I downloaded npp to get it going. I’ve been hand-coding my HTML for 18 months now which has been a great learning experience. It’s getting a little tiresome now and I need some help 🙂 Opened and installed with Wine and guess what? It just worked! Amazing. Next I had to get the plugin manager going which is no longer bundled with npp. Grab it here Note the C:/Program Files folder is under the (hidden) .wine folder…
Thought I’d give one of these a go, as I love the one from the joint in Soi 11. Using the recipe I found here. Ingredients • 12 red potatoes, each cut into 6 pieces • 1/2 cup chopped bacon ends, visible fat trimmed • 1/4 cup white vinegar 1/4 cup cider vinegar • 1/4 cup white sugar • 1 teaspoon salt • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper • 1/2 cup light sour cream • 1/4 cup mayonnaise • 1 small red onion, diced • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives Recipe Prep: 20 m…
Because I’ve been eating too much of it lately. And boy do I love those double Big Macs! For the record I weighed in at a svelte 118 kg at the start. Would be happy to lose a couple of kg over the coming month. Junk food – food that has low nutritional value, typically produced in the form of packaged snacks needing little or no preparation. So no Dominos, Pizza Hut, Pizza Company, KFC or Maccas for the next 30 days. An experiment of sorts. Not a diet. Using the principle of kaizen I want to be aware of…
Loving the cooler weather for a change – haven’t sweated for a few days. Enjoy it while it lasts, kids! Credit: Johnny Walker Red Label (ow.ly/XxebJ): via bkk.asia-city.com
Hey folks – I noticed it wasn’t working here anymore. Sorry ’bout that! Here’s what I had to do to get it back on-line: Firstly, I reverted back to the default WP search using the Search widget in the sidebar. I was previously using a plug-in and wasn’t sure if it was playing a part in my problems. (I had recently switched hosting providers and made changes to my site and home URLS) After adding the widget, it threw the search box in a strange place on the sidebar. Had to get that sorted. Used the following CSS in my…
