Forget those shop bought bottles that lie in your fridge half empty for a month before you throw it away. Make it as you need it and enjoy a superior dressing in the process with just a few store cupboard ingredients.
Regain webmin access after IP changes
Here is how to regain access to Webmin after your local IP address changes and Webmin locks you out.
Edit /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and change the “allow” IP address to your new IP address.
To add multiple IP addresses, just put a space in between them.
Example: allow=12.34.56.78 98.76.54.32
Restart the webmin service.
Fedora/ Fuduntu
Fuduntu is end of lifed soon, so here’s a list of some the tweaks for reference as a starting point for when I retinstall to Fedora
As Fuduntu was originally targeted at the Asus Eee PC and other netbooks,[5] it contains some tweaks to reduce power consumption. Among them, the /tmp and /var/log directories have been moved to RAM disk, and swappiness has been reduced to 10, to reduce the frequency of disk spin-up. In addition, Fuduntu includes the Jupiter power management applet (also developed by Andrew Wyatt), for easy adjustment of CPU performance settings, screen output and resolution, etc.
The default packages include Nautilus Elementary, Adobe Flash, the Fluendo MP3 Codec, VLC, Infinality Freetype, LibreOffice, Gmail, and the nano editor.
Weather Station
OK, so my new toy arrived this week, well at least part of it, my new weather station.
I’ve wanted an internet enabled station for over ten years, and I’d never got round to replacing the weather station my ex broke (by dropping a 43 inch CRT TV on it would you believe!)
The site is up and running, I’ll get it posting to wunderground or similar this weekend so I can get a widget on this site, but if you want to check out the weather in Harpurhey, Manchester (see if it is raining on BBC3s People Like Us!) pop over to http://kingsbridgecourt.com or have a look at the current conditions from the weather menu up above.

Sleepers Awake / Watchet Auf / Maurice Mime
I’m posting this because it took me an age to track down.
You may be familiar with Kenny Everett’s character ‘Maurice Mime’ who always had the same music.
It’s actually a piece by Bach called Watchet Auf (Sleepers Awake)

Here’s the version Kenny used
