Better way to enable services
Sean who runs the nice looking but content-deprived Pepper Hacks website, offered up this tip: You can enable and disable services by using the initdconfig command. It behaves the same as the ‘chkconfig’ command for RedHat / Fedora Linux. Thanks Sean! So to enable the SSH server you just have to do: initdconfig ssh on […]
Site moooove…
I’m migrating this site over to my home server today – it will probably get much slower until I find a better permanent place for it. DNS will switchover in 24 hours so there might be a blip where it’s offline.
USB to PS/2 Adapter: a good idea
Since I pre-ordered my Pepper, I’ve been casually browsing around looking for some kind of small, wireless, full-size-ish keyboard to use with it. Don’t get me wrong, even though my thumbs are huge, I am getting used to and quickly learning the layout of the thumb-pads, but for more serious text input I knew that […]
Getting stuff onto the Pad
Unfortunately, right off the get-go I was having problems getting my music and video onto the pad (which is still without a name, and no, I’m not calling it Sgt. Pepper).

I got the Pepper Pad for two reasons: Easy-to-use , portable web browsing throughout my home Makes a decent portable video player too Has full Linux distro, […]
It’s here! It’s here!
I knew it wasn’t vapourware. Shame on you, Jon!

Where’s my Pepper?
It’s officially been two months since I pre-ordered my Pepper Pad, and it’s supposed to ship any day now. Still no joy. I hate waiting for stuff to ship, especially when it’s really expensive and I’ve saved up for it for months and I really really want it to get here but it isn’t here […]
