Firefox, the Open Source browser has hit 50 million downloads! Absolutely amazing! I remember when I used to use Internet Explorer because I didn’t think there were any good browsers out there. I also remember when I even flamed Mozilla (I knew this would bite me in the ass later), but that was because this…

Calendar
I made a little calendar that shows you all the dates in a particular month that contain one or more journal entries. You can use < and > to jump backward or forward by a month, or use > to jump backward or forward by a year. I think it’s pretty neat. Wasn’t all that…
Ancient Code
I am a pack rat. I keep anything and everything in the vague hope that I might need it someday. It doesn’t help when something like that does happen, and I DO need something. Then I feel vindicated and it only serves to re-enforce the behaviour. But anyway, I have these computer disks that are…
Journal Entries partially working and Comments!
Guess what! You can add comments now too… muahahaha. Erm. Yeah. I’m going to make a pretty page from where I can submit journal entries. Well, quick and dirty first. Then the pretty version will come later. Finally… something functional on this website. It’s been about three months, but I finally have something here. I’m…
Journal Entry Display Template
Ok so I’m writing some stuff here… just to make it look like I have something… I’m figuring out the layout right now… so… blah de blah de blah. I need to write enough to make this look long enough. Like a normal journal entry. So… blah de blah de blah blah. Hmm… I think…
Artificial Life – some preliminary findings
I fnished my artificial life simulator over the weekend, and I have been running simulations on it. There were a few bugs initially that I quickly fixed. My initial simulations gave me some inexplicable “population explosion”. For example, in one cycle I would have 31 creatures and in the next cycle I would suddenly have…
w00t
You know what’s so sweet? I am using Winamp to make an http connection to my FreeBSD machine to access music that’s on my XP machine through an SMB share. So my music goes from my XP machine through the SMB share to my FreeBSD machine and from there over the internet through a symlinked…
I rox0r
I have some music files on my server that are accessible through http (only by me). So instead of keeping them on my laptop, I decided to add the URL’s to Winamp. But that was too painful. So I took the html files and stripped out the tags (using sed) so that I have the…
Mailserver woes
As expected, something went wrong. I had a vague sense of intuition that it would be my mailserver… and it was. I reinstalled postfix and everything is working. I was reinstalling courier-imap when it complained about libintl.so.4. I hate that file SO MUCH. It always shows up. Stupid shared lib. It comes from gettext, and…
Photo Album – 2 years and still going strong!
My photo album has been up for two years now 🙂 Wow… I still remember writing it!
