http://www.amazon.com/gp/sendtokindle/developers/button

When generating the code for your button select the "Blogger / Blogspot" option twice, if you do not use the dinamic view on your blog.
If you use dinamic view, and you successfully install the Send to Kindle button on your blog, please do leave me a comment about how you did it! Thank you in advance!

2.1. Go to your Blogger home: https://www.blogger.com/home
2.2. Go to the Template menu of your blog.
2.3. Select Edit HTML button under the Live on Blog thumbnail.

3.1. Insert the "Step 1" code before the closing body tag.
3.2. Change the "&" to "&" in the code so the xml can understand it.
3.3. Click Save Template to see that you do not get any errors. If you get errors, google on the error message to solve your problems.

4.1. Insert the "Step 2" code in the "b:includable id='shareButtons' var='post'" section before the closing b:includable tag to have it together with the other shareButtons. (shareButtons have to be enabled from the Layout menu: edit Blog Entry and tick "Show Share Buttons".)
4.2. Click Save Template to see that you do not get any errors. If you get errors, google on the error message to solve your problems.

5. Check your blog, it now has a Send to Kindle button where ever you put it.

Plex Configuration for various reasons

Restart Plex Server:

~$ sudo service plexmediaserver stop

~$ sudo service plexmediaserver start

UPDATE: a script for plugin installation can be found here.

Plug-in directory: /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-ins/

To install a new plug-in:

the new plug-in's directory name should end with ".bundle" like the existing plug-in directories.

copy the downloaded plugin to the plex plug-in directory

~$ sudo cp -R /download_dir/new_plug-in_dir /plex_plugin_dir/

change the permissions to be like the existing plug-ins (this is not needed in 14.04 anymore)

~$ sudo chmod ugoa+rx /plex_plugin_dir/new_plug-in_dir

change the owner of the files to be like the existing plug-ins

~$ sudo chown -R plex:plex /plex_plugin_dir/new_plug-in_dir

restart plex server as written above.

the new plug-in should show up in plex.

Serviio Configuration for various reasons

Serviio promises features that require additional configuration and not work out of the box.

Online Resources
RSS feed reading requires the installation of serviio plugins, and that the feed be specifically readable for serviio.
Online streaming my desktop with VLC could work, but definitely not through wifi (it is too slow for that)

Read this summary first.
Read this how-to second.
Unfortunately HP Compaq TC4400 does not support Wi-Fi Direct.
I know this from the directions of the above how-to. I installed "iw" through synaptic and checked for "p2p" under "supported interface modes" in ~$ sudo iw list -- and there was none.

How to extract a unique distinct list from a column in LibreOffice Calc with range filter criteria

Using this method it is possible to filter a range of data with the INDIRECT function.

you will have to change the $A$2:$A$20 range two times to the wished range given by INDIRECT.

=INDEX($A$2:$A$20, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($B$1:B1, $A$2:$A$20), 0))

Let's say you have a third column, C with a header row 1 and data from row 2.
This function will work only if the data in column C is sorted.

You type your filter criteria in cell $E$1.

1. using MATCH to find the first occurrence of the filter criteria:
2. MATCH($E$1,$C$1:$C$20,0)
3. using COUNTIF to fing out how many rows have this criteria:
   COUNTIF($C$1:$C$20,$E$1)
4. the range will start in the row given by MATCH($E$1,$C$1:$C$20,0)
   and end in the row given by (MATCH($E$1,$C$1:$C$20,0)+COUNTIF($C$1:$C$20,$E$1)-1)
5. now add the letter of the data column to the range like "A"&
6. your range starting cell will be INDIRECT("A"&MATCH($E$1,$C$1:$C$20,0))
   your range ending cell will be INDIRECT("A"&(MATCH($E$1,$C$1:$C$20,0)+COUNTIF($C$1:$C$20,$E$1)-1))
7. the string you will paste in place of $A$2:$A$20 will be INDIRECT("A"&MATCH($E$1,$C$1:$C$20,0)):INDIRECT("A"&(MATCH($E$1,$C$1:$C$20,0)+COUNTIF($C$1:$C$20,$E$1)-1))

How to extract a unique distinct list from a column in LibreOffice Calc

Hi all,

to this problem: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Generate-Unique-List-from-Values-in-Column-td4077250.html

this is the solution in MS Excel,
http://www.get-digital-help.com/2009/03/30/how-to-extract-a-unique-list-and-the-duplicates-in-excel-from-one-column/

and to do this in LibreOffice the single difference you have to make is to not click and drag, but to ctrl+click and drag down the cell contents!

so, step by step:

you have a header: row 1.
your list starts in row 2 in column A.
your unique list will start in row 2 column B.

you type =INDEX($A$2:$A$20, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($B$1:B1, $A$2:$A$20), 0)) in cell B2 and hit CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

this should result in you having one of the values of your A2:A20 list in B2.

now press CRTL and click and drag down the bottom-right corner of B2 cell.

if you drag down long enough, #N/A cell contents should show up on the bottom of your unique list.
