20/09/05 - Okay, let's start with the obligatory excuse...
No updates for over a month - I was doing a lot of travel in my
previous job, and was away in the Philippines for a month
installing database and backup servers (Solaris). Although it was
great fun technically, it was crap in terms of spending time away
from my family.
Enough of my personal babble - and on to the update...
I've updated my article on 3510 configuration and made some small housekeeping changes to it.
I've added a new script to /bin. The script, centre_string does exactly what you'd expect it to ;-)
