Picked myself up a Cisco SPA112 to replace the wonky built-in VOIP capability of my router.  However, I seem to have some unusual behaviour.  Namely, when I take my cordless phone off the hook, I only get about 4 seconds to start entering numbers before the ATA switches over to the “off hook alarm” mode and rejects any further digits.  Unfortunately, the phone’s built-in dialer waits a few seconds before starting to dial, so it’s pretty random whether you can dial or not.

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.

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.
