Jonathan from New York Night Train spins tunes to unravel the tightest of buns and fog everyone's glasses. Prepare to be shushed. First drink free with a ...
I'm taking a break from a puzzle I really don't need to be spending this much time on. Here goes: I heard a rumor that microformats are cool, and, I want to links to a calendar. Seems simple, and a good place to start understanding RDF. Here's what I've got: ...
Once, these links helped. windows clients can't see workgroup (a post I made to a samba list) and Chapter 38. The Samba Checklist; Part V. Troubleshooting (a diagnostic walk through). If you're setting up a SMB network and hitting walls, start with Chapter 38, Part V.
I recently had the opportunity to meet a famous radio host who happens to grossly overuse the phrase sea change. I hadn't ever really noticed the trend in his show, but while I was in his office I overheard not one, but two show producers, interviewing potential guests on ...
Mir tipped me off to this newscast about some nice people who brought kites to poor suffering African children and made them smile. Nothing about the newscast was any more or less inane than most of the rest of the evening news, but since I did watch it, I've been really stuck on the fact that I don't have the language or the figures at my finger tips to really tear it apart.
Just in case you were wondering whether you should change your email password to something a wee bit more random, I have a story from a friend. We'll leave her anonymous for now.
I'm goofing off with Contemplate, trying to play with displaying taxonomy terms in smarter and more structured ways. I've gotten as far as sorting out that (correct my syntax on this one, please!) Drupal node taxonomy is stored as a recursive array of objects. Here is one example:
View Objects inside of Arrays inside of Nodes inside of Drupal
Used to be, I worked for Mainichi Shimbun, where I learned odd things, including that the Japanese term for "desktop" in the digital sense is "deskutoppo." I'm struggling with my deskutoppo still, struggling thusly: I don't understand what to do with a GTK widget I want my Recent Documents to be more accessible and, I hate that my desktop is littered with FTP and SSH shortcuts. I also don't really understand why my computer crashes so much and I wish I knew more about command line WPA. It seems wrong to install things willy nilly.
It is no secret that I'm kind of flummoxed by audio on Brahms. I recently got annoyed enough to send a moderately unhelpful "someonehelpmefixthisplease" query to a list I'm on. I got some response to the tune of "read the Ubuntu forums" which prompted me to try a friendlier list (and to threaten any forum-deflectors with a swift kick to the shins). Maybe it was the threat of violence, maybe it was just that radical techies are good people, but I got some great responses, which I'm filing here for future reference.
Note: The diversion part of this post got carried away and I need a central spot for comments on the toolbox, so I copied it ... I had a chat a while back with Tim at Social Source Commons about my Recycle-A-Bicycle toolbox, in which I've stowed almost all the software we're using at my soon to be old gig. dkg pointed out that Calcium isn't even as free as it used to be (or maybe I skimmed over something in my early readings of the license) and that prompted me to notice that there isn't really a good way to comment on the SSC blog. Comments here leave something to be desired (like a preview) but at least you can leave them. You can read the interview here (there?) and if you've got thoughts for me ...
