    use WINE you wally... Google is your friend here... a simple search (such as keywords wsftp+linux or irfanview+linux) reveals irfanview AND wsftp both work on Linux using wine... so does winrar and several other popular little utility progs. Heck, to get flash 9 running on my daughter's box so she can access those videos and other annoyances on places like myspace, we use the windows version of Firefox with the windows version of flash9 installed in it...

  3. Yay! by popeydotcom · · Score: 2, Informative · on LugRadio Live 2006 This Weekend

    I'm looking forward to the special blend of geeky chat with some friends I've met online, learning new stuff from the developers of the products I use every day, beer, a few games of Enemy Territory, listening in on a recording of LUGRadio and generally having a bit of a laugh with some friends. I created a natty PDF which shows what's on in an easily digestable form. Almost time to print out and highlight!

    I'm just checking the BAA (British Airport Authority as was). My my flight home from work is due to take off in 2 hours, but looks like it will be delayed by at least 2 more hours. Ah well, the joys of being a roving consultant.

    At least I have photos of my wife to remind me what she looks like.

    And no, trains are no good either! :-(

  10. Explanation of Enigma and other crypto stuff.. by popeydotcom · · Score: 1 · on Slashback: Delays, Torpedos, Revitalization

    Simon Singh wrote The Code Book which explains how the Enigma machines worked.

    Pretty nerdy book actually. I read it on my honeymoon a couple of weeks ago.

    People tell me I should have been too busy to read it, but I dunno what they're on about.
