SUSE 10.1 On A Powerbook
So, no, it’s not nearly as easy as it should be; it’s not nearly as easy as it is in kubuntu; and it has consumed the last few days of my life. But I’ve gotten things working for the most part and since I’ve been utterly unable to find any help on ye olde ‘net about the problems I faced, I’ll post some of my pain and learnings here…
Blogging From My Treo
This would be a test, then, of wordpress, plogit, and manual dexterity of man hands and really tiny keyboard buttons!!
Fix for Linux PPC, IBM JDK, and Moneydance Bug
Wow. You know… I’ve worked around this annoyance for FAR too long… I’d blogged previously (5 months + ago???) about a bug that affects Moneydance with IBM’s JRE/JDK (you know… the ONLY one that you can find for Linux PowerPC!!) with online transaction downloading. So I decided to poke at it a bit again today and what do you know? I found a solution! As it turns out, to solve the moneydance problem with SSLContext and IBM’s JRE, change $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security like this:
That Which Takes My Time
It’s a frustrating thing to not have enough time to do that which you want. Or rather, there are so many things that I do want to do and so many things that I do need to do that there are choices that must be made to be a responsible, loving husband, Daddy, employee, hacker, game-player, and Christian.
UltraViolet
Just finally had the chance to see this tonight and I was very pleasantly surprised! I wasn’t honestly sure what to expect from the commercials, but it was much better-done and much less focused on over-the-top gore and violence than I had thought. Bravo to Kurt Wimmer for that!! And honestly, bravo to Mr. Wimmer for an incredibly well-thought-out, well-crafted, well-shot, well-cast, and well-executed piece of film. Amazing.
V for Vendetta
Wow. Movies always affect me more than they probably should. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, necessarily, but it’s definitely a thing.
The Timeless Power of a Sunset
That, my friend, is pure joy. I enjoyed exactly that sort of pleasure just yesterday.
Fenway Park, Here I Come
KDE-PIM Social Network
It’s nice to see your name up in lights… =;)
DANGIT it feels good to code!
FINALLY took a couple of hours late, late, late tonight and looked at the pesky little kpilot bug which caused a nasty little SIGSEGV with the vcal-conduitbase::slotProcess code during a “copy handheld to PC” sync. Turns out there was a single missing set for the fNextState in the case of ConduitAction::SyncMode::eCopyHHToPC, which as luck would have it, is exactly what I was trying to do.
