Edit 25th Feb: Discovered a bug in the logic, apparently UNION order isn’t guaranteed. Reworked the script so it does the right thing now.
random notes, guides, and thoughts…

So, I have two computers with three monitors each - my home setup (3 x 2560x1440 monitors) and my work setup (3 x 1920x1200 monitors). I want to have a collection of surround (ie, 16:3 aspect ratio) wallpapers and also to tile three regular 16:9 or 16:10 wallpapers so that one appears on each monitor.

Be warned! As of Christmas Day, the CyanogenMod nightlies for the GT-i9305 series have changed over to CyanogenMod 11.

In the past month I’ve discovered Planetside 2, a free-to-play MMOFPS which has Australian servers. They’ve recently put out a huge game update which dramatically improves performance and that’s what made me give it a go. Anyway, once I got over the incredible chaos and the very frequent dying (fortunately the death penalty is pretty well zip), I found I really enjoyed it.

Nginx is something that I’ve really come to appreciate since I moved my blog across to my own server. However, it’s lacking a really great feature that I would love to have - the ability to dynamically update rules through DNS resolution. I don’t have a static IP address for my home Internet connection, but I do use dynamic DNS.

So, I have a Microserver sitting at home, and due to various reasons I wanted to move one of the services that I typically ran on the Microserver across to my VPS. The reason why I wanted to do this is to save CPU cycles on the Microserver since I’m planning on using those to do some other work. But the service I wanted to move is intended for local access only and I don’t want to set up a proper site-to-site VPN.
