Setting up POP email on Zimbra
Ref : EHA/End User Self Help/Common IT Services setup Writing documentation & How To’s can be trying, especially when you are trying to accommodate everyone. There are countless number of email clients available, and users justifiably have their own individual preferences.

Connecting to Multiple IP address ranges from the same PC
Have you ever been stuck with having to connect to two or more different networks having different IP addressing schemes? At the locations which I support, I have to do this regularly as the Hospital Information System runs on a different IP addressing scheme and the Internet on the other -through the same switch. This [...]
Solved: Error accessing a shared folder between two Windows computers
This has been one of the oldest computer problems to plague me on a regular basis. On a peer to peer network, file and print sharing mostly works out of the box and computers can see and access each others shared resources without any problems. Sometimes something goes wrong and do what you might, the [...]
Experiments with Meths
Do a quick search of the forums and you find that the general opinion is that finding meths in India is hard. Well this may partly be true, because medical spirit or Isopropyl alcohol (probably interchangeable or the same thing) is pretty expensive if you plan to use it for cooking.

I’m trying out WordPress 3 as a platform for our office Intranet/Extranet. Setting it up on a LAMP installation of the 64 bit version of Ubuntu Server (Lucid), I could login only once to the wp-admin page. Whenever I tried again, I got the following error message: wordpress Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 [...]
Trangia meth burner : Review
Having owned the Bushbuddy, and being very satisfied with it, I had no intention of getting another backpacking stove, particularly a spirit burner as I had been coming across information on the Net that getting meths in India is difficult if not impossible. Besides, here it is also an “offense” to carry any flammable stuff [...]
