Never realised you had a linux blog on the side. Any others? - Neil Saunders

Yeh, I started a linux blog 'on the side' so that my regular blog bioinformatics/web/science blog didn't become overrun with linux-related posts. I could have used categories, but not enough people would use them. I also started a Wii blog since I became Wii-obsessed when I bought one on the launch day, and really felt like tracking new developments around the console. My interest in Wii-blogging has really subsided after ~ 12 months, and because of the Wii blog no one here had to suffer through it :) - Andrew Perry

Oh, and I started a game development blog (http://gamedev.pansapiens.com), mostly just to post my Ludum Dare 48 hour game development entries :) . There you have it, full disclosure of my (sometimes slightly embarrassing) blogging on the side. Don't tell "Your bones got a little machine", it may get jealous :) - Andrew Perry

I sometimes think about that - a lot of my "bioinformatics" blog is more like computer science. In fact my most popular posts ever concern (1) running background processes in PHP; (2) getting YouTube sound to work in Firefox and (3) installing Ubuntu from a USB stick. Not really what I intended, but there's no accounting for the readership. - Neil Saunders

Why do you think I pre-empted myself and covered all my bases when I named mine bbgm ... just in case :). - Deepak Singh

lol - I think my blog title about covers it too :) - Neil Saunders

I've never seen the "user" to run as in crontab before... which Linux is that ? - General Kafka

@General Kafka - I think the crontab shown is a "system crontab", as opposed to the type generated by "crontab -e". It's mentioned near the end of "man 5 crontab". - Neil Saunders

funny, because I did the same thing when I was hacking around in Wordpress. Didn't want to fill my science blog with meta-stuff. - Mr. Gunn

General Kafka / Neil: well spotted, I hadn't noticed that ! I updated the post with a warning about that gotcha ... it could really confuse new users. - Andrew Perry
