On top of this I have been running the server on Ubuntu 16.04 which is getting a bit tired now and I have never been a big fan of ubuntu server for anything other than my own media server requirments at home.

. So tonight I am moving it back over here and this time putting it on Centos which I find more reliable and easier to maintain. It will all be straight forward this time round

Not often you hear things that way round, these days! 🙂

Just a random thing, as I know this is a tinkering community. If you change the .docx suffix to .zip, and then unzip it, you will find all the somewhat-humanly-readable XML files that comprise your document…

I signed up for their £5/month deal. Which is the cheapest Smarty can be if you use 0 data.

£5 only gets me 500mb data per month, but I’ve always been a wifi user, going back to when it was so much slower than wifi.

So. I’ll stick to my current plan. Good luck with Smarty! 🙂

I don’t have Image Magic installed, so I can’t test that. Sorry.

I can maybe help your scripting a little by example:

https://gist.github.com/tcbarrett/db6aed034f6f5fef076598a41a3b44a3

 

Overview of what I did:

1. Used a timestamp instead of using /dev/random (usually better unless you’re doing more than 1 per second)
2. Set your desktop, infile and temp file as variables
3. Check that the infile has been specific and exists
4. Added a help argument

A couple of questions that might help narrow things down are:

1. You switch between ‘convert’ and ‘magic convert’ – is there a reason for that?
2. It’s just the ‘320 x 240’ conversion that fails?

Are you sure that $RANDOM is an actual value?

Have you tried some oldskool debugging:

echo "convert $1 -resize 1228800@ -format jpg /home/chris/Desktop/$n.jpg"

I know it all sounds a bit hippy-ish, but positive thinking is scientifically proven to be good – so it’s good to know Bob’s keeping in touch and there’s a whole bunch of folk here wishing him well 🙂

Best wished for a good recovery!

Hmm.. maybe I shouldn’t be so negative about Moto 🙂

Had a look for the 1+3 to see how much it was, but couldn’t find it new anywhere?

The dish is still attached to the building. But we’re not in the building any more. We moved! 🙂

Hi all

Thanks for the replies! As always, been a bit busy to respond immediately.

@blacklion1725 – have you got a link to that article?

Together with the ditching if Sky, was also a move, so the old Sky box is just sitting in a box right now. At best, it might have some Ebay value?

The main things I’d like to be able to do is:
1) Easily switch between BBC and ITV
2) Live subtitles
3) Series record

Guys, I am doing much better than I thought I would be. My GP called while I was out, asked for a call back ( HE asked for a call back!) and when I returned was gobsmacked that I am walking so much. I just love the sun.

 

Awesome news, mate 🙂

Is this in the wrong thread by any chance?

There will be no explanation. Battery is dead.

I am curious to what fellow forumites opinions are on these two questions. 1. How accurate are these pedometer apps for android. I installed one called pedometer step meter this morning and was just curious 2. This is an “How long is a piece of string question” what do you consider a daily healthy walking distance is?

 

Hi

The pedometers are all inaccurate. However, they are consistent. Whatever your pedometer reports, use that as a baseline for improvement. Improvement is improvement 🙂

Shame that my phone broke and forced my hand, like look like great deals ?

 

Out of curiosity, what’s the benefit of dual SIM?

Let’s see how my return to Moto goes 🙂
