I have been running a blog in one form or another for a multitude of years. The past years I’ve mostly been using wordpress, but the maintenance was becoming very annoying. There are also very limited offline writing options. In short, it was time for something different and because I was already creating my drafts in markdown, jekyll seemed like a good choice.

MX Player is one of the better video players available for android, but on my Tegra 3 powered tablet it required a bit of extra work before I could get the sound on most of my video files to work, particularly movies encoded with DTS or AAC.

Because I have a mix of GUI and CLI systems, I configure all my machines through the command line. For networking this means I edit the /etc/network/interfaces file. Most of the time, this works just fine, except that after upgrading to the newest Ubuntu release on my laptop, all of a sudden my wireless network wouldn’t come up at boot.
