Light toy

Oral Disco

The Oral Disco is a multi-coloured light cleverly concealed inside a plastic mould. This easily and comfortably slides onto your upper or lower teeth. When you switch it on, it makes your whole mouth glow in an array of colourful light! The light moves from tooth to tooth as if dancing, hence the "disco" name.

Control your mind

SBaGen - Binaural Beat Brain Wave Experimenter's Lab

The theory behind binaural beats is that if you apply slightly different frequency sine waves to each ear, a beating affect is created in the brain itself, due to the brain's internal wiring. If, in the presence of these tones, you relax and let your mind go, your mind will naturally synchronize with the beat frequency.

Debian Installers galore

Debian Installers

"The Debian installer sucks!" People saying this are astonished to hear me reply "Which one?" Such commentators usually want a naive-user-friendly, preferably graphical installer that aggressively probe hardware (which they know little about), and don't give a damn about non-i386 architectures. They don't value network installs, broad choice of journaling filesystems (XFS, JFS), flexibility, small installer images, or sparse initial installs.

I thought this was going to be cooler than it turned out to be. He considers Knoppix a Debian installer. :(

How to get root on LVM on RAID with Debian

Root-on-LVM-on-RAID with debian mkinitrd HOWTO

I have a Debian system running with root on LVM on RAID. Kernel updates, however, require either a manual update of an initrd file, or a custom kernel compile to include all required modules.

I really wanted to use apt-get/dpkg to install kernel upgrades straight from the official Debian binaries, so I spent some time and got Debian's mkinitrd script working with root on LVM on RAID.

Here's why debian is best. :)

Why Linux? Why Debian?


Debian, in my experience, and the experience of a number of my respondents, is the best integrated OS out there. Debian packages trace their relationships to each other not merely through a flat dependency/conflicts mechanism, but a richer set of nuanced relationships -- Pre dependencies, ordinary dependencies, recommendations, suggestions, conflicts, and enhances relationships. Apart from this, packages are categorized according to priority (Essential through extra), and their function. This richness of the relationships, of which the packaging system is aware and pays attention to, indicates the level at which packages fit in with each other.
