Matthew and I got up early this morning, drove as far as we could up the Latrigg road, and walked up to the summit for some sunrise photos.

Imagine you live in an apartment complex. Every apartment has a front door and a back door. The back door opens onto a service area, where the garbage cans are. One day you realize that the back door doesn’t really lock — you’ve got a key, and there’s a lock on the door, but you can open it without putting the key in the lock. You check the back doors of your neighbors, opening them just enough to shout in and see if they’re home, and if they are you explain to them that there’s really no security at all on their back doors. You inform the apartment complex management.
The next morning, you’re woken by the police, arrested for breaking and entering and trespassing. The apartment complex management are pressing criminal charges against you. You’re facing up a maximum of ten years in federal prison and $500,000.00 in fines, not to mention massive legal fees.
Ludicrous? This is what happened to Andrew Auernheimer. Read more about it at cfaadefensefund.com.
Here’s a warning, though: I’m not giving you permission to click that link. The owners of that web site aren’t giving you permission to click that link (they don’t even know you!). If you do click it, you do so at your own risk.

Patch and I went up Castlehead this morning, after noticing a bit of mist over the lake.
Need to share files between your home PC and your laptop? There are plenty of ways to do it, but two of the easiest are Dropbox and Cubby (Google Drive is very similar). Both sync files between your PCs and their cloud storage (up to 5GB is free, more if you’re willing to pay). Cubby is new, and still invitation only (you can sign up on their site to get an invitation someday, or ask me for one today); Cubby does have an additional feature that Dropbox doesn’t have: while you can sync 5GB of data by going through their cloud storage, you can also sync unlimited data directly between your own PCs.
(Full disclosure: that Dropbox link is a referral link, if you click it we both get more free space; and if you ask me for a Cubby invitation that will get me more free space too.)
I can’t find mention of them in our db, but Cassons from Cumbria, there is a good chance they are related

To increase the maximum file upload size for PHP on Dreamhost:
Make sure you’re running PHP5.3, on the Manage Domains page on the panel, then in the shell do:
mkdir -p ~/.php/5.3
cd ~/php/5.3
cat > phprc
upload_max_filesize = "100M"
post_max_size = "100M"

Setting up a new Windows 7 PC at work…
Windows 7 XP Mode
Download from https://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx (works better in Internet Explorer, of course)
Want the VirtualPC to be on the real network? http://www.windowsbbs.com/windows-7/91206-ip-settings-windows-7-xp-mode.html
Want a different user? Create the new user in the control panel, then in the VirtualPC’s Tools / Settings, Logon Credentials, click Delete saved credentials. It will prompt you after restarting

Remember to check the regional settings in the Virtual PC – mine was set to US despite Windows 7 being set to UK.

GnuCash on Windows puts its settings folders in the wrong place.
The fix is to add the line
HOME={APPDATA}/GnuCash
at the end of the file
%ProgramFiles%\GnuCash\etc\gnucash\environment
Here’s the bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503722
Edit: It appears you need to create the %AppData%\GnuCash directory first.
