Nokia WordPress App
I’ve just discovered an app to manage my WordPress blogs from my mobile. As I have yet to succumb to the marketing ploys of Apple and HTC etc., I have been required to do a bit of searching for a tool for my Nokia 5800 xpressmusic.
If this sounds interesting to you as well, visit http://nokia.wordpress.org
BTW, this is my first post using that very tool.
Debian Linux for Servers
I’ve built quite a few Debian-based office servers in the last few years. Recently, I used this tutorial which was very helpful (given that I don’t do this every day, I can’t always remember every step – so tutorials are good for me).
There are lots of good reasons for using Debian. My main ones are:
- It’s a (relatively) straightforward OS to install on many machines
- The aptitude package manager allows for easy updates/upgrades
- The range of packages available is amazing
- The security is good, by default
- Debian is a great for stability – servers can run for years without rebooting
My most recent server build has been installing Debian on an old Apple Mac Mini. It’s based around the PowerPC processor, which Apple no longer supports. I’ll be blogging again soon about my this experience.
