. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote Gnome ModemLights applet in Debian, on the subject of Uncategorized.

I’ve just been setting up the Gnome modemlights applet on a Debian box.
To make it work, you need to set the preferences as follows:
Device: ppp0
Lock file: /var/run/ppp0.pid
Disconnection command: poff -a
and make sure that /dev/modem exists and is a link to your modem device.

the one I made about people added stuff to thier blogs so google learns something new.  I believe it is a very hackerly thing to do and many, many people do it without thinking these days.

Ah. I did it quite specifically because I'd spent an hour googling for it and couldn't work it out, so next time someone can't and googles for "modemlights debian" they should get a better answer ;)
