Shameless plug

My parents run Larkfield Bed and Breakfast and I'm trying to update their site a little. It's hosted on something called 'Little Ireland' and their syntax is a bit strange.

For example, I need to enter something like .head1Larkfield Bed and Breakfast.endhead1 to get a H1. I can't enter HTML in because it htmlencodes it. Any ideas on how I might encode links - maybe something like .link ?

Tech things to hack on

Here's a few things I might work on someday...

  • Get sum to list averages and standard deviations too.
  • Test that the latest Debian installer works on my computer from scratch
  • Find a Free Mathematica clone...

Any ideas?

Debian on a Dell Precision T3400

I recently bought a Dell Precision T3400, but the Debian Etch DVD wouldn't install. Ubuntu worked fine, but after trying a few different kernels I found out about Etch And A Half and it worked for me with an otherwise standard Debian Etch installation. I'm still playing with it and expect to possibly have to change a few things - for example sound didn't work straight away but it's working now.
