In Part II, I performed the OS X installation, and noted a couple minor issues – keyboard and shutdown issues. A bit of an update though: I found that the sometimes the system will shut down fine – it seems hit and miss though, and I can’t really narrow down a cause. The second test [...]
Hopefully you’ve already read Part I of the experiment – if not, I suggest you do so now, as I’ll be picking up where I left off.

I was interested in seeing how much power our household electronics and appliances were using – in particular the computers, as well as the [...]
I had surprising difficulty finding information about changing a site from www.website.com to just website.com through redirects. I also wanted to be sure that it would redirect any directories and pages as well. Since I found some information here (a great page if you’re looking to do a copy-paste to your own .htaccess file), I [...]
