It appears that I've become rather busy at work, so I might not get so much time to write articles for the next short while. I'll still hope to put stuff up every couple of months, so keep an eye out.
- Running a Windows Partition in VMware
- 20th Jan 2007
- Virtualisation of operating systems is a big trend at the moment: running multiple servers on one physical box allows a hosting company to save space and power costs, and running different operating systems lets a Web developer test their work on various browsers and hosts. The problem with setting up a virtual machine is the loss of disk space on the host, to hold a disk image for the guest; what if you've already got an installation on another partition? This article shows how to use that physical installation in VMware, using the example of Linux as the host and Windows XP as the guest.

- Trainf*ck
- 26th Sep 2006
- One of the most widely-known esoteric programming languages is Brainf*ck, which attempts to break computing operations down into the simplest possible steps: just eight operations are provided, along with a small buffer of memory to work with. The problem with Brainf*ck is that it only provides the most basic I/O, interfacing with the console. Trainf*ck is an extension of the language, which endeavours to provide the ability to read and write files, and communicate over a TCP/IP network.
