    RHCSA and RHCSE study material

    Recertified last year on RHCSA with RHEL 7 and more recently completed RHCE. For these I used the Van Vugt book, Safari video subscription (for the Sander Van Vugt content) and also used some Linux Academy. All of these were a great help for practising the objectives, however I was also lucky...

    Getting Old.

    I remember the first time my barber asked if I would like my eyebrows trimmed, I was mortified. A few years down the line now, I wish he would offer again :D

    Matched betting - who's done it and who's good at it? (No Referrals)

    This thread is enormous. Can anybody provide an "FAQ" or similar on where I can get started with this please? Is the "fixtheodds" link on page 1 still the place to go? Thanks.

    will Marks and Spencer let me return a jacket if the labels (how to wash / iron etc) is cut off?

    Tell them you bought a jacket and when you tried it on you noticed somebody had removed the washing instructions label.

    Is it a control thing?

    I used to have silly arguments with my wife about things like this, until my dad gave me some solid advice: "Which do you want most, to be right or to be married?" Sometimes you've just got to let things slide and avoid the argument. Pick your battles.

    Confrontation Yes/No?

    Don't worry about it, keep walking. Sometimes people have a bad day and look for an excuse for a fight. You did the right thing to ignore it.

    Just purchased my first 3DS What games shall I get?

    I played a lot of that Zelda game, it was the first one I've finished since Ocarina of Time. Really enjoyed it, might go back for another play through soon. How are you getting on with Fire Emblem? I jumped in with FE: Awakening a couple of weeks ago and I've racked up about 35 hours on it so far.

    *** Nintendo Switch ***

    Need some advice from seasoned Switch players before I fire mine up for the first time. I've not got a Micro SD card currently. Do I need to get one before I start creating save files? I read previously that saves cannot be moved to card from the console, is this still the case or has an update...

    Game store - why are they so bad

    It's like that around here too, never with a game or accessory you might actually want either. Even their second-hand games are often only a couple of quid cheaper than brand new. In my opinion GAME are best avoided, the sooner they go out of business the better.

    *** Nintendo Switch ***

    Finally managed to get a grey Switch yesterday after several weeks of checking for stock in the local catalogue shop. I've shoved it under the bed out of the way for the time being after checking the screen for dead pixels. It's a Christmas present for the kids (honest, really), I was a bit...

    Anyone good with text files?

    If your file always positions the 5 digit number in the same place, use awk to grab it and then sed to strip the comma: [simon@clarknova ~]$ cat testfile | awk {'print $3'} | sed 's/,//g' 47855 47857

    Retro console and games thread

    I seem to recall, from working in the old Electronics Boutique in the mid to late 1990's, that the jewel case edition came in a box with the analogue pad. The DVD sized case was the standalone version.

    Music to soothe the soul

    Can't beat a bit of Bill Evans when you need to feel calm. Take some time to listen, close your eyes. Incredible.

    Any chance of a picture of the phone in its case? I've ordered an XL today so I'm in the market for a decent case as the next job. Thanks - CN
