Amazon recently released their “Send to Kindle” plugin, allowing users of Kindles (whether on iOS/Android or owning a physical Amazon Kindle device) can now send any post on this blog directly to their device over the air or whispernet (depending on device) without having to manually copy and paste content. A little convenience method for those who wish to read offline / on the go. For those who don’t… simply ignore it :)

Enjoy offline reading! (go into the posts to see “Send to Kindle” buttons

Well… I’ve recently resigned from a nice role I had as a Mobile Architect at a large well known online company. Moving on to being an Independent Contractor working on different kinds of Mobile Projects. What this means is I’ll have a little more freedom to write about… whatever I want! So expect some more of the usual + some interesting and intricate iOS and Android posts. Of course as always, don’t judge me too badly ;) feel free to tweet me @italoarmstrong with any comments.

P.S. if you read a post over 1 month old… I can’t guarantee the quality of it ;)

Hi everyone! I keep getting lots of emails from people asking where they can buy xyz to complete the tutorials and try out some of the things listed on CaptainGeek, well after I kept emailing people the same links i had a thought, why not setup an amazon affiliate store. Basically, i’ve setup a small amazon site with a small selection of products (only those used for the tutorials on this site + related ones), purchases and payments are handled by amazon, however a small percentage of the sale goes to helping fund the server this website is hosted on AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU :) so its a win win situation, please use the links whenever you can.

Our Amazon Store

Introducing VBareMetal!

I’ve been very busy lately, here is one of my latest incarnations, a Virtualisation Linux Distribution, which you can use as a live-cd or a bare-metal installer, it is debian based with virtualbox. Everything configured out of the box. You can run Linux/BSD/Solaris/Windows/Other virtual machines on this distribution, even if your system does not support virtualisation natively! =) Please note, this release is super early, it works, but very bare. In the coming weeks i’ll make it a pretty fully functional system. Continue reading →

So you’ve probably wondered why i went from posting 3 times a day to not posting at all. I’ve been pretty busy recently with exams, jobs, personal-issues and so on. Few bits of news regarding the project. I’ve moved house, therefor am going to migrate everything thats using UKERNA over to HE.NET purely as they seem to be much more stable, and I can use 6over4 :) Also i am working on something you are all gonna like, just gimme time and i’ll have it sorted :) need to buy a more powerful server first heh :)

For now peace! and stay tuned for whats coming next :)
