If you are reading this, I have converted successfully over to Mephisto.
There are still some outstanding issues to be resolved, such as: * The theme is the default Mephisto theme, I need to migrate my old theme over to Mephisto. As a result some formatting may look wierd. * Some older permalinks (specifically the /archives [...]
Just a warning to say that service may be interrupted here on girtby.net over the next few weeks. In fact, outages are likely.
Unfortunately the underlying reason is Typo. Hence I have no choice but to migrate away from it.
My hosting provider has recently contacted me to say that my blog is again using up far [...]
Gather around for a tale of adventure in the land of Linux c++ programming.
Here are some short notes on the Ubuntu experience, plus a revelation about virtualization.

Many people outside Australia may be bemused at the “Yahoo!7″ moniker. It’s certainly one of the clumsiest brand names out there, and beats [...]
The features I want out of an online music store are:
No DRM. At all. Seriously. MP3 encoded at a high bitrate (diskspace is cheap). Optional lossless encoding. Reasonable prices. Must be legit (rules out allofmp3 for example). Decent website with online previews. Appropriate embedded meta-data.
