Banana Bread!

Just for a delicious change from geek speak, here is my recipe for Banana Bread (more of a cake really).

225g self raising flour
½ teaspoon salt
100g butter or margarine (unsalted)
170g soft dark brown sugar
75g raisins (or sultanas)
2 ripe bananas
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons milk (or dark rum!)

Oven: 160 oC, 325 oF, Gas Mark 3

If you have time, or are prepared far enough in advance, it's extra tasty if you can soak the raisins overnight in dark rum, any rum that doesn't get adsorbed can substitute the milk in the recipe.

1)Line the bottom of a loaf tin with greaseproof paper and grease it up.

2)Put the flour and salt into a bowl, cut the butter up and add. Rub in until it resembles fine bread crumbs.

3) Stir in sugar and raisins. Mash banana with a fork (Well duh) and add to the mixture with the vanilla essence, egg and milk. Beat.

4) Put in tin.

5) Sift or sprinkle some of the dark sugar over the top of the mixture to give it a delicious sweet crispy top.

6) Cook (on a baking sheet in a pre-heated oven) for an hour and a half until… done.

7) Eat!… Or, if you have the patience, leave it to cool in the tin for ten minutes and then on a rack for some more time.

Moodle on Centos or Red Hat 7 (with SELinux!)

Why the need for another 'Installing Moodle' guide? Two reasons, Systemd and SELinux. The steps are presented as a Bash script, which may be run on a virgin system, installing a complete working Moodle stack in one go, including enforcing SELinux. In addition to the absolute basics it also includes adding ClamAV virus for file uploads and Memcached for sessions and 'MUC'. It does not cover any extras you will need to get your site up to production, e.g. securing your database  or updating your virus definitions automatically. Neither does it do any extra PHP configuration (upload limits, execution time etc.) or any extra complexities that might be desirable. For all of this you should goto  docs.moodle.org .

Spawning many VirtualBox machines from a single VDI

What I'm taking about here is a way to have many VirtualBox machines based upon a single hard drive image. There are many reasons why you might like to do this, but the most compelling is probably saving time by not having to install an OS over and over again, especially useful if you do anything like software testing. Our goal is a single vdi (virtual disk) file which contains a vanilla installation of our favourite OS which we can then use to conjure up a fresh new machine in a jiffy. Assuming you already have VirtualBox installed our first step is (maybe for the last time ever!) to install our OS into a new virtual machine. Now I shan't go through this as it's pretty straight forward and if you're reading this it's the sort of thing you have probably done a hundred times before. One thing of note during the initial setup is the 'Virtual Hard Disk' configuration. Be sure to allocate enough space to allow for all potential applications of the image. It wou

Row a Concept2 on Zwift with a $10 Raspberry Pi!

Short story, I made a program. Instructions and download here:  https://github.com/mrverrall/go-row Despite there being an appetite for rowing in Zwift the fact is a rowing machine is not a bicycle and a Concept2 rower won't connect directly to Zwift. The Zwift gods tease a rowing release every now and again, but it's been coming 'soon' for years now. Don't hold your breath. But people do row in Zwift, so how do they do it? To get the data from the rowers computer, the PM5, into something Zwift recognises as a bicycle you need a device that translates between the rower and the device running Zwift. There are solutions already available to do this. Some are expensive like the  NPE CABLE (about £90 in the UK) and some are 'free' like the  RowedBiker  app. The downside with RowedBiker is that it needs to run on a extra device separate from the one running Zwift. If you have a compatible device lying around, great, otherwise you'll need to buy one. Meanwh
