HOWTO: Bodhi Linux on Samsung ARM Chromebook

Posted on 02:13 by Unknown
The battery recently died in my old Asus Netbook which gave me some fire to finally get together a functional filesystem for the Samsung Chromebook I've had for a little over a year. I published a rough file system with install instructions here last December. Since then a few things have changed in the structure of ChromeOS and the install script/file systems needed some updates.The following instructions install a Debian Wheezy based ARMHF file...

AT&T Connect to Cell System Review

Posted on 12:07 by Unknown
This is a post written by me on behalf of Advanced American Telephones.

We have found a few spots in the house that get reception, but the rest of it is a giant dead zone. The basement is absolutely out of the question for reception, which I believe is likely an issue...

HOWTO: Watch Netflix on Bodhi Linux

Posted on 15:40 by Unknown
Not being able to utilize the Netflix video streaming service has been an issue on the Linux desktop for the past few years. This is due to the fact that Netflix utilizes Microsoft's Silverlight technology for video playback.For the last few months though we have been able to watch Netflix in our native browsers on Linux using a Wine pluggin wrapper called Pipelight. Today I would like to walk you through the short process of using Pipelight...

Python - Sorting Lists inside of Lists

Posted on 07:30 by Unknown
In some recent python code I was playing with I had the need to sort a bunch of lists based on elements within their elements. Thankfully python's built in sort function is plenty powerful and allows us to do this in a fairly easy manner. So for example if we have a list all of whose elements are also lists: mylist = [["derp", 1, 7], ["bleh", 2, 0], ["merp", 0, 3]]By default when we call the sort function on this list it will sort the sublists based on their first element in lexicographic order. For example: mylist.sort()print mylist[['bleh',...
