Another distraction away from Witcher 3; I’ve acquired an acoustic guitar and Dark Souls II Scholar of the First Sin. Both heaps of fun, hard to believe I’ve left it so long to pick up either one of them earlier 🙂

My Hubsan x4 has been grounded for the past few weeks, as at full throttle only the front would lift from the ground.

It was taken away…

Once I dug into the log file though, I could see where the install…

You can use them to remember hard commands or make short names to long commands you just hate to type. To setup aliases, right-click and create an empty file in your home directory and name it “.bash_aliases”. Notice the period at the beginning of the name that…
