My most recent blather that I don't want to show up on my main blog.
switched to bitlbee this morning, to reduce my laptop's bandwidth footprint (no more expensive xmpp, twitter, identica traffic)
my nslu2 is now functioning as a wireless router. Using an old USB dongle and Ad-Hoc wifie mode. Who needs Managed mode :)
powering my nslu2 by a cable that is nslu2 plug on one end, USB on the other. yay for 5 volt powered computers
was in a very write-y mood this morning. Seem to have made the most of it <yawn>
surpisingly, found only one bug installing to the nslu2. OOM issue, fixed.
now doing a little bit of testing of #
Debian squeeze d-i on the nslu2
began building my server for the solar powered house, a nslu2. grabbed random memory stick from drawer for its drive, got lucky: 64 gb
wishing that family members could comprehend that I actually *do* work, About 12 hours a day. Sigh.
added a vcs-home friendly "fixups" hook to #
mr. also generic pre_<action> and post_<action> hooks
good to be back in the mountians and at the end of this crazy august
enjoying: flying multiple kites in train for 1st time; wifi on deck overlooking the sea
well, it's *so* time for a long walk on the beach now
oh, crap, I just got horrible news
enjoying the sea breeze and full moon sparkle in the ocean from the deck of the beach house
fermented dates on the tree in South Carolina
packing, mowing, and driving. beach tomorrow!

moreutils for years, but have only just starting using them

conclusion: one trailing comma on a javascript list makes MSIE blow up. js != perl, oops

I happened to be wearing my old LinuxCabal T-shirt when I ran across
this video.
Wow, memories.
First try at learning blues harmonica. So far I'm concentrating on learning
to play single holes. Hard enough for now, although I think I managed
to bend a note once.
I have found my happy sound though. Just draw through hole #1 on my C harp
and I get that nice lonesome train sound. This is the easiest hole to draw,
too.
Weird popcorn experience. I screwed up the first pan, burnt and mispopped
everything. So I cleaned it out and put it back on the stove, still quite
wet, tossed in a small amount of (olive) oil and popcorn (no test kernels,
just all at once), and tried again. This time the corn took quite a while
to start to pop, I could hear the water/oil mixture sizzling and
splattering the inside of the pan. When it started to pop, it was all over
in under 5 seconds, no trail off of slow to pop kernels like I typically
get. And only 2 kernels didn't pop. Perfect.
Something went on with that water/oil mixture. My guess is that the water
regulated the temperature, as long as the water was in there everything was
kept right around the boiling point. When the last water evaporated, the
temperature must have shot up to popping point very uniformly and quickly.
With a full moon behind the blue clouds. Gorgeous tonight! And windy, and
brr..
Black bean soup and garlic shrimp home cookin'.
Driving up Diablo, we're always in awe of the bikers going up it. When we're
not thinking they're insane. :-)
Seth biked up.
Awesome, and happy b-day!
Funny, I use vimoutliner just like
Matther Palmer,
and like him I also think that everyone should learn to program. If you
don't know how to program, you can't truely use a computer. You can only
fiddle with constructs someone else has made for you on a computer.
Somehow I doubt either of these ideas will catch on, but it's nice that I'm
not alone in my heresies.
