Disclaim This!


I only found this blogposting after 3 years... I removed my disclaimer in an update frenzy some while ago. Today I noticed that some comments of me were published in a business magazine with my role and employer and private weblog (!) all besides it.

So I decided to quickly search for that disclaimer again since all those nude pics should not be linked to my employer (wow... I got 100 hits extra... just kidding). I liked the “The opinions expressed here are mine and/or of the hacker who defaced this page” so I placed it and decided to use the disclaimer but replaced IBM with “my employer”, so that the immediately linkage of people reading my PRIVATE weblog would in any way not enter their consciousness unless they would try really hard meaning that they do have a brain and they do understand the disclaimer.

I made it like this: “This is my private weblog, started long ago (1999) before I joined the company I work for. So the opinions expressed here represent my thoughts and opinions only and not the opinions of my employer or any of its employees. since this is my personal weblog I will make no linkages or publications about either my employer, its products and services or any of the customers I work for.”

Word Of Mouth


They are really great vehicles.  A friend of mine has one.  I’ve been eyeing a Scion tC for awhile now.  Torn between that or a Subaru, since I live in Rochester, NY, where AWD is really useful in the winter.

Excerpt from Michael C. Harris - FriendFeed

VMWare Workstation, Hardy Heron, VMWare Tools


Regarding what you said about the network interfaces, I would guess that VMware’s network interface really has very little to do with your physical wireless card, and is really just a tap-like device that is bridged to your “real” wireless network card. In practice, this should mean that you can configure the physical network in the host and run a VPN connection in the guest, or run the VPN in the host and have the host do NAT or just plain routing to get your guest talking over the VPN.

I’ve done this sort of trickery before where my host is Linux and my guest is Windows, but since your host is a Windows box I imagine this becomes trickier — I have no idea how to configure routing or NAT under Windows. If I recall correctly VMWare on Windows actually runs a mostly-standard dhcpd under the covers whose configuration file you can find and hack about with to get the VM to do weird things with routing, but you still need to find some way to convince your Windows system to actually be a router.

Over Pronation


Hi,
Like some others I have flat feet all my life.I had wondered what I could ever do about them because I was born and live in West Africa-Nigeria .Well am 30 years now and fortunately the internet is available.I would love to send some photographs to you so that you can tell me if there are any corrective measures you have available for my case and also what treatment would cost me.
Looking forward to your opinion.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Amaka Ogugua

I have same rig and want to get dual monitor going

Probably not going to help you, but I simply connected my 22 inch monitor to a Mac Mini.  There are tools for sharing the keyboard and mouse, but I haven’t tried them yet.

As you may have noticed, I’ve been shaking things up around here a little. Sorry for turbulence in the feeds! I’ve moved to a new server, and I’ve been trying out Movable Type again, but with mixed luck. Why? Because I’ve...

Just add scaling!


Algorithm to imporve the scalability of a language:
- Solve a small problem
- Now extend the problem
- Modify your solution to solve the extended problem
- If your extended solution is either too much work (t, $ ...) or incapable of solving the extended problem, you have a problem with scalability: Modify the language until it scales better
- Rinse and repeat

(Asking people ho have been bitten by such supposed “scalability” bug, may help)

Another Ubuntu T61 question for you:

I have same rig and want to get dual monitor going (T61 screen + 22 inch flat panel). Have you had any luck with that? Ubuntu forums don’t look promising.

Thanks for the cron clock tip - the host-suspend-clock-lag in Ubuntu under VMware Fusion has been bothering me for ages, and I couldn’t figure out how to fix it without using an NTP client in the VM.

OpenID for non-SuperUsers


Hey, great tutorial - only thing that doesn’t work for me is the editing of the idp_url - it causes the system to not be able to log in.

OpenID


I’m a big fan of OpenID , and Data Portability in general. I like being able to use my LiveJournal account to post on other sites. It’s convenient. I’d like to be able to use my personal home page to control my online identity, though. Thankfully,...

License-Free Spec


The open source flash implementations already had access to the information released via a reverse engineering effort. What is still missing is information (let alone a spec) on how actionscript and flash interact.
