Re: [Dorset] It'll Never Catch On.
Also- I finally managed to set up folder-sharing on VirtualBox. It depends on having the guest extensions installed, which means a crap screen resolution, but it is the only way I know.

Re: [Dorset] It'll Never Catch On.
I'm up late, because it is Saturday, my downloads have not finished, and I've been doing something that Losedows finds very difficult; the wireless network I have consists of my desktop(dongle) and my laptop(card). Tonight I found out how to fix up networking. It's easy. Right click on the folder you want to share. Set it to share, if you need more software there will be an auto download. Set the server firewall to allow you in(ifconfig gets your lan0 client ip address), then use 'connect to server' with your computer name. This works. I can now switch files between my boxes across the air. Note - when you move an executable, you need to reset the permissions at the destination to allow it to execute again. Loverly!

It's amazing what people get up to these days for dirt cheap. -- Next meeting: C4L and Bournemouth, Wednesday 2010-06-02 19:00 http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2645413 Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
[Dorset] It'll Never Catch On.
Just a minute; I was talking to my cousin in Canada on the phone. He's calling me back on Skype later this evening. Meanwhile I ordered 'Beaufort' from Amazon, it'll arrive in a few days, but it is dubbed into English, so I want the original Hebrew(with subtitles) which is available by 'Transmission' bit-torrent. Should be finished in an hour. Meanwhile, earlier I downloaded a double album of Prokofiev(LSO/Andre Previn), which I am listening to with the 5.1 sound system fully optimised for my rooms. It's all done with a couple of hundred quids worth of hardware and totally free 10.04. Does anybody really think there's a future in it?
