Just a wee collection of Donald Trump memes I have collected over the years. I plan to add to the collection from time-to-time, as I stumble across them. Some of them are a bit rude. But then again, so is Trump…

Surely Ubuntu Linux is only for a minority of geeks & programmers?
ByGarf 2009-07-122024-12-06

Minority interest? Yes. Only used by geeks & programmers? Not necessarily… Ubuntu is a minority interest insofar as it only has a fraction of the users that M$ Windows has. Moreover, despite great improvements in recent years, some configuration issues with Ubuntu are still a pain. However I disagree that you need to be a…

Removing tricky screw thread lens filters
ByGarf 2021-01-152025-08-18

I’m a fairly keen amateur photographer. Over the years, I have collected quite an assortment of vintage lenses, filters and other bits and bobs. I have also encountered quite a few sticky filters. However, I can honestly say that I have never destroyed a filter by attempting to remove it. Having the correct tool helps…

Visited my mother in Southampton today. It was a warm day so I stepped out on the balcony. This has magnificent views to the west, overlooking the River Itchen. It is also pretty close to Southampton’s famous Cobden Bridge. This is a major road and pedestrian bridge crossing the River Itchen. It forms part of…

Using VirtualBox to run Windows apps that will not run on WINE
ByGarf 2009-01-242024-12-06

I’m a big fan of WINE and an even bigger fan of CrossoverLinux. This is the commercial implementation of WINE by CodeWeavers. For many Windows apps it works very well indeed. In many ways I prefer it to using a virtual machine (VM) because firstly one does not have to start a VM just to…

Safer modelling lights for Chinese flash head units
ByGarf 2019-11-202025-08-18

An interesting question came up a little while back on one of the photography fora to which I belong “I’d be interested in knowing how you swapped the halogen bulbs for LEDs because I have the same problem and as you say those bulbs are hotter than hell, makes using modelling lights with a grid…
