Lots of PS2 homebrew tools; he's the current maintainer of FreeMcBoot, but there are various hardware drivers and a hard disk diagnostic here too.

PS2 Homebrew/Dev & Emu Scene edit / delete

This appears to be the centre of PS2 homebrew development these days -- and the tools have improved quite a bit over the last few years. In particular, there's FreeMcBoot which you can just drop onto a memory card, or FreeHDBoot which you can dd to a hard disk (probably an easier option if you have a network adapter and a spare ATA disk -- so it's what I did). Discussion of other tools including the Linux kit and updated Linux ports here too.

A kind of worked examples for large classrooms | Computing Education Blog edit / delete

Using short code examples to explore variety in teaching; I could see this working well for some of the stuff I teach in AG0700. Note link to material. I also liked the suggestion for a more affordable (although less trendy) alternative to clickers.

Exploring Binary - Binary Numbers, Binary Code, and Binary Logic edit / delete

A blog with infrequent posts, owing to its very specific subject. Posts include things like "How GLIBC’s strtod() Works". Actually very good, and probably of interest to students who're trying to remember those lectures I did about this kind of thing in the first year.

Some good presentations on Linux container facilities. (Horrid Javascript-based site, though.)

Applying mount namespaces edit / delete

Various neat tricks with Linux mount namespaces, including how to emulate chroot using it (which you can now do as a regular user, thanks to CLONE_NEWUSER).

ferd.ca -> An Open Letter to the Erlang Beginner (or Onlooker) edit / delete

A nice overview of what's unique about Erlang (the concurrency stuff is obvious, but the error handling is equally neat).
