Now you know too.
I’ve had to do this over and over again and I keep spending days looking for the setting. On many systems I’ve used, an xorg config that sets up the keyboard in a certain way (i.e. automatically) breaks and fails to map the windows key correct. This particularly has happened to me [...]
I actually finished re-tagging everything I own in just under a week. I consider myself: the winner.
The cool part is the player. I’m using Amarok on two computers, with a shared (over NFS) library. The actually Amarok meta-data is in a shared db on a mysql server. This means that my playcounts, labels, etc are [...]
SO I’ve been paying attention to last.fm a bit lately, and some inconsistent tag fumbles kept getting at me enough to throw up my hands and re-tag everything again.
This time I’m automating the process as much as possible, using MusicBrainz for everything. Oh well. We’ll see what happens. At least they have a client in [...]
So I bought some cheap parts and now I have a slammin’ desktop computer. It’s nice to have a personal computer again. I’d been rolling with just a work laptop and a server for so long. AJA’s been down for some time now because I had the desktop cabled in to the router using the [...]

PS3Ubuntu was a big stupid failure. Sony made some firmware update that broke the wifi. Supposedly a kernel exists that works but I’m not going to put the time into it to make that happen. Maybe in the future.
CentOS on the other hand went very well. It’s serving this webpage right now.. little hassle. I’m [...]
A recent NYT Opinion article contains a Q&A with Bruce Schneier where he answers a blaze of questions posed by some sort of public submission process. He gives some insight and many links to essays about his various security paranoia.
My recent job change is causing the loss of one RHEL subscription, so I’m moving the webserver over to Fedora. I’ve got apache back up, but some of the services are still down.
Lesson of the day: SELinux can be such a bitch.
I’m sitting here, minding my own business, trying to add a vhost to apache, and along comes SELinux, all bad-assed and ill-intentioned. I’m getting these graceful 403 errors that I don’t realize at 403s because they are redirecting to a vague error message [...]
