Re: Tech Society 3.0Just doing some cleanup on my web server, I discovered that Linode have added 4 GB of space to it since I last did any housekeeping. Not sure what I should do with that, try another distro maybe?
Also, not had to reboot the server for over six months.

Re: Tech Society 3.0Hi guys, wasn't really sure where to post this, but i'll try here!
Basically, just setup a paypal account to use for ebay. Do I need to add funds to use paypal-as in is that the whole point of paypal? so money comes from that instead of directly from my bank account?
Any help appreciated! -

Re: Tech Society 3.0Why? What does it do?(Original post by Dez)
If any of you run a Linux server, you need this script.
Code:/usr/bin/uptime | perl -ne "/(\d+) d/;print 8,q(=)x\$1,\"D\n\""

Re: Tech Society 3.0Nice.(Original post by Gofre)
Just tried out the Lumia 800 that came out today, lovely piece of kit. Getting mine next week for £120 with a free XBox which CEX will pay me £85 for. Not a bad deal methinks =D
did you get your USB stick working in the end? -

Re: Tech Society 3.0Unfortunately not, they'd blocked off the admin tools pane which was annoying. Ended up having to buy a new one because the work had to be in that afternoon. £6 for a 1GB stick, I felt like I'd been stabbed :\ -

Re: Tech Society 3.0Pretty much, I may still right an angry letter to the biology department due to poor organisation in the hopes of getting reimbursed. Every little counts =P(Original post by mikeyd85)

Getting it on my current contract, my iPhone 4 is essentially dead now and I'd have to wait another 7 months until my upgrade so I'm paying the early upgrade fee then balancing it out by selling the XBox. Works out at about £45 for the handset including deposit which I'm more than happy to pay for, then keeping my current contract. -

Re: Tech Society 3.0Yeah, that makes sense. Not a bad way to do it at all.(Original post by Gofre)
