Configuring VoipCheap.co.uk Account on Elastix
I’ve gone rather mad with VoIP configurations since I decided to move to using my own PBX for my personal and business telephony. My choice of installation was Elastix, mostly because it looks nice, but it works really well. These details will work with pretty much any other Asterisk PBX such as Trixbox though. Right, [...]

16. December 2011
I find myself using WordPress more and more for client websites. Since 90% of the time, I develop on a dev domain, it means that the links inserted by WordPress point to the dev domain which presents an issue when it’s time to hold your breath and take the new site live on the clients [...]

8. June 2011
This is another one of those things that I can never remember off the top of my head, so I’m sticking it here for reference. I believe it was originally posted somewhere on the cPanel forums by the almighty chirpy. lsof /tmp # Umount /tmp and /var/tmp: umount -l /tmp umount -l /var/tmp # Remove [...]

23. March 2011
Over the past few months, I’ve noticed that Google Chrome’s performance has been rapidly going down hill with crashes, freezing and generally being slow. It’s also been failing to update itself completely properly. Today I decided to just uninstall it then re-install it. After uninstalling it, I went to go and delete all of the [...]

21. August 2010
I’m a big fan of the SBSettings application for jailbroken iDevices (Available via the BigBoss repo on Cydia). After upgrading to firmware version 4.0.1 (using jailbreakme.com) and installing SBSettings via cydia, each time the installation completed and I clicked the respring button, the springboard would just crash and I would end up in safe mode. [...]

7. August 2010
I have just finished clearing out an old (cPanel) server and I’ve found a few little commandlets/scripts that other people may find useful. This first one will list the top 10 largest databases, you may need to change “/var/lib/mysql/” if this is not your default mysql data directory. Changing the number at the end will limit [...]

19. June 2010
Firstly, my apologies for the shocking title. It’s the best I could come up with though (If you can think of something that summarises this better please let me know ). I’ve been asked about this on quite a few occasions now, the last one being PC-Mike over on the WHMCS forums; The question being “Is it [...]

10. May 2010
Every time I have to install a GlobalSign SSL Certificate, I always find myself referring to notes that I wrote when I first had to install one. I thought that it may be a good idea to post the process here for mine and anyone else’s reference. The aim of this post is to guide you from [...]
