I hate it when sites force you to use a number in your username. It makes it a lot more difficult to remember the user name that way and probably doesn’t help security any. I can totaly see it in relation to passwords, but it just annoys me in usernames.
An interesting, if slightly scary, read. The Data model that nearly killed me.
I effed around with this for a couple hours and of course, it’s terribly simple. One oddity (I think) with update manager/package manager is that it doesn’t run apt-get update for some reason. I’m not sure if there’s a way to force it to do this. The downside is that the package information isn’t up to date. You need to run apt-get update, then apt-get install simple-ccsm which will give you the compiz config jobber so that you can change the settings. It shouldn’t be that hard, but there you go.
I’m in the process of finding a link for ubuntu 9.04 and it occurs to me the University of washington does not host any linux iso’s I know of. Which just strikes me as weird. But whatever. Now if I can just find a working torrent…
And another one bites the dust. Geocities goes the way of the buffalo. At one time, even I, had a website on geoshitties. I’ve been super nostalgic in my posts lately….. guess I’m getting old.
I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but it seems that every now and then update manager can’t find the right package URL. If I run apt-get update it’ll all work again. I’m not sure why update manager doesn’t, y’know, update the package list before checking for new packages.
This seriously has to be the most complicated way of loading a web page ever. Slipknot
Just reading on wikipedia about Mosaic. Boy does that take me back.
I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry on this one. Emma watson load screens for VC! It’s here if you’re curious.
Playing with my pagefile and such I noticed windows bitching about not having enough room to write the dump files. Who cares? Can anyone actually decipher that crap? And I’d rather have the extra 2g on my drive than a dump file I can’t read. Bleh.
