The Onion is awesome: Unemployed Man Getting Really Good At Unemployment
“Leaving the house every single day is very important, even if it’s just to spend a few hours at the coffee shop organizing the MP3 files on your laptop,” Higby said. “I try to be out the door by 2 or 3 in the afternoon, […]

fstab problem

Monday, July 14th, 2003

Phew, I just made a stupid mistake with the change on beow mentioned RH9 server and was almost crying. While I was editing /etc/fstab not knowingly I changed the first line, which was the main root directory, so it wouldn’t boot AT ALL…. After about 4 hours (felt longer) of struggle, I had to post […]

Adding HD

Monday, July 14th, 2003

OK, done! I was little stomped when I couldn’t tell which /dev/.. was the one, and Mr. Fulton helped me, and using Hardware Browser in RH, I figured it was /dev/hdb1 and it was formatted ext2. So I used following code:
mount /dev/hdb1 /’name’ -t ext2
Then I had to edit /etc/fstab so that It’d be […]

A-HA! I’ve mentioned Streamsicle a

Friday, July 11th, 2003

A-HA! I’ve mentioned Streamsicle a few times before and how much I love the software. For some reason I was unable to run that on my new “quieter” Red Hat 9 Machine. Until NOW. I had to download j2sdk1.4.2 and extract the file, install rpm and THEN add the following line in your .bash_profile
PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/bin/:$PATH
Now […]

Speaking of Mozilla 1.4, here

Friday, July 11th, 2003

Speaking of Mozilla 1.4, here is a few things I noticed as I upgrade…

Now I can download English (default) version and also download language packs/language content packs to change dialogue box or toolbar menus to be Japanese. (Preferences -> Appearance -> Language/Content)
Text is no longer anti-aliased! I guess it looks fine but I wish […]

Sliced table, sliced image

Thursday, July 10th, 2003

Before:

After:

Problem: There is a tiny tiny gap between your sliced images (vertically) and it […]

So the new bullpen guy

Sunday, July 6th, 2003

So the new bullpen guy the Sox picked up while I was gone, writes a weekly column in Sporting News. It’s interesting reading his past column. He didn’t like Theo’s “bullpen by committee” idea and he thinks gay player would be a “huge distraction” to the club house. OK, then.
Lou Piniella keeps his word. […]

I am back

Sunday, July 6th, 2003

I am back. Vacation was quite awesome. Nice weather, beautiful beaches, good seafood (I love Oysters) and to borrow Homer Simpson’s quote, “Mmmm, Beer.”
The Cape Cod Baseball League was really cool. I was very excited about going and it was even better than what I expected. Which is a lot because I think I had […]
