Just found a link to http://sxc.hu/ – stock.xchng – whilst trying to find some stuff on CSS and layouts. Also another site that I’ll be looking into is http://www.sitepoint.com/ which has a fair bit about CSS layout. Not sure I’ll buy the book that’s on there, but maybe I’ll get a different book from Amazon or somewhere since I’ve not bought a book for a month or so.

Interesting use of Google maps
Looking for a new house? Check out On One Map – very clever. Thanks to Andy for the link.
Fixing software RAID
The primary drive failed in one of my servers – luckily since it was using mirrored drives the system carried on running until I could get PoundHost to replace it.
However, since it was the primary drive when it was replaced the system wouldn’t boot and they had to use a rescue cd. Here’s what was done to fix it…
Geek or not?
Found Graeme‘s nerd test score in the Planet NottsLUG archive from back at the start of September. Took it (click the button below for your chance) and sorry Graeme, you’re not as big a geek as me (but is that something to be proud of?)
iPod waking up on its own
Sitting here in front of the laptop the last couple of nights I’ve noticed that for no apparent reason my iPod wakes up and the screen goes bright for a few seconds before going back to sleep again. At first I thought there was something on the clickwheel but it’s been propped up on the desk with nothing anywhere near it. The wheel was even locked so in theory it shouldn’t have mattered anyway!
I suspected it last night but tonight it did the same thing again – I found that it happens as the clock changes over from 23:59 to 00:00 each night. I don’t have any idea why it does that though, very strange.
