So, I find some house rules for 6mm combat for F.A.D. 4.0 on there (thanks to teh google), but apparently I can’t downloading without registering.. so I do, but then apparently I need to either upload something or pay money. WTF? Luckily, bugmenot had some logins which work.
Is me, or has the level of people [...]

Yeah, so E16 has some window placement issues, E17 is slow, so I switched over to IceWM. Figured I’d give that a go.

In the beginning, I was on RedHat, and there was Gnome + Enlightenment.
Later, Gnome adopted Sawfish, but you had a choice. I still used Enlightenment.
Then I don’t exactly recall what happened. I think Enlightenment went away from Gnome, I tried several (IceWM, Fluxbox, etc.) finally settled on FVWM, which I used for several years.
Then Liz [...]

Their update system is nondeterministic and lame, rendering different answers depending on when and where you ask.
They like to sue people for doing useful things with their data sources.
The human interface is annoying.
I will consider diaspora* when it is available.
If you want to talk to me, send me an email or comment on my blog.
If [...]

I dislike the new Google layout. At least for now, you can get back the old one with this workaround.

I finally finished playing through the original fallout (bought for $6 from gog.com). Totally worth it. Very, very good game.
I should note that it runs just fine under wine (tested: 1.1.31 aka the one which ships with Ubuntu 9.10).
Oh, and for the curious, the maintainers of the WineHQ AppDB drop “old” versions of Wine, without [...]

1.) Note that you likely want to create a separate partition for machines and put the machines there.
2.) apt-get install lxc debootstrap
(Note – this is pretty inefficient in terms of space. The lxc setup does allow for read-only mounts of things. So, it can have its own /etc and html docs [...]

So, I was fiddling with java stuff at work the other day, and was struck by just how useless windows task manager is.
When running several:
java -jar something.jar
GNU ps actually shows which is which, because it includes the name of the jar file.
Windows just shows javaw.exe for all of them, so you don’t know what you’re [...]

Win.
(More to come. I’ll also be updating the community docs once I have all the kinks ironed out.)

It used to be that, back in the day, /usr/local was an NFS mount on a central server, with appropriate trickery so that each machine got the correct binaries for its architecture. This allowed for reduced storage requirements, plus easy upgrades of new applications. I question if this is an idea which has basically become [...]
