iperf is a tool for testing network transfer speeds. From its sourceforge page:

'Iperf was developed by NLANR/DAST as a modern alternative for measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth performance. Iperf allows the tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics. Iperf reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss.'

Quick start:

iperf -s on server
iperf -c hostname (or ip of server) on client. Use -f to change the format.

Another issue I had was after installing flashplugin-prerelease using:

yaourt -S flashplugin-prerelease

I got this warning:

warning: directory permissions differ on usr/lib/mozilla/
filesystem: 700 package: 755

And firefox did not detect the plugin (about:plugins was empty)

I have been looking for a nice and quick blogging program to link with this website (running Drupal).

I had a php file where the indentation had been completely messed up. A quick google came up with this tip for vim:

Press: gg=G
to select the all lines and autoformat.

If you are getting errors like this check firebug to make sure you are sending the data. I was not sending the data because I keep forgetting to set 'paramorder' or 'paramsasHash' on the form config.

I was having very slow firefox scrolling and terminal text- I fixed it by updating to 260.19.21 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates

System: Ubuntu 10.10 x64 with 3 monitors on 2 Nvidia cards using Xinerama

I have been having problems with Spotify under wine on Ubuntu 10.10. A bit of googling revealed that Spotify now have a preview of a native client for Linux!

Just installed it and it seems to be working well.

I just installed the new Ubuntu 10.10 on my workstation. I am in the progress to upgrading to CakePHP 1.3 but more on that later. The first problem I had (that I always have because I always forget this):
Solution? Enable mod_rewrite. On Ubuntu I did
