Free stuff = mindshare

Until quite recently I had used DynDNS.org’s free dynamic DNS facility for years to keep track of my home IP address. It was great. Any time I was away I could always connect to services at home without having to do any gymnastics to figure out what IP my ISP had granted me today. Then…

dispus 2.9 – now handles huge directories

There has been a long-standing bug in dispus with handling of directories containing thousands of files due to a command-line-too-long problem when passing the list of files to the du command.

Welcome to the Frozen Depths…

My previous home on StormLoader.com was removed without so much as a by-your-leave, and the very unhelpful folks there would neither restore it nor allow me to create a new page at the same location, so no chance of redirecting the thousands of hits per day *ahem* to here.  Ah well.  I guess you get…
