This is a neat podcast that a friend of mine introduced me too. It is for a total newbie and talks about: 1. What kind of event to organize depending on the situation – Breakfast, Cocktail Hour/Happy Hour, Dinner 2. Whom to invite 3. How to get people to come when you’re still new to… Read More »
The secure copy command is: scp where_the_file_is where_the_file_should_be Or more correctly: scp source destination The trick with a raspberry pi, or any remote location in fact is to include the username@host/ip with a colon as the first part of the source address. eg scp pi@192.168.x.x:/home/pi/text.txt ~/
Ever needed to grab the public IP of the device you are on via terminal? This neat command will do the trick! curl ifconfig.me
As a developer, one of the worst problems to encounter is the white space problem. In recent memory I’ve encountered this 2 times. Once in 2013 when integrating with MYOB, a trailing white space at the end of a variable caused an http 400 error which was a complete mystery at the time. The second time… Read More »

Another neat book by Robert. Neat references to New Zealand and rugby. A few grammatical errors throughout the book but as Robert said, he’s not a best writing author, he’s a best selling author. And who can disagree with that!
Getting a wifi dongle working on a Raspberry Pi can either take 5 minutes or 5 hours depending on a lot of factors. If you have the right dongle and a fresh image, it is essentially plug and play. All the drivers will be there, the dongle will be from a recognised brand and all… Read More »
