I’ve been abusing BF2 for a few weeks now, so I thought I’d post some stuff. There’s such a wealth of knowledge to be unlocked over time, it would take forever to compile it all. Many things you discover through playing.
Obviously, this is a work in progress and is just my personal opinion. [...]
Now that I am getting my share of comment spam, I’ve installed one of the two dozen different plugins for WP to help deal with the problem. I finally decided on Elliott Back’s WP plugin that uses obfuscated JavaScript functions to decode and deliver a hash that’s then verified server side for authenticity.
It seems [...]
I had the opportunity last night to watch the original theatrical release of Aliens. Ouch. It’s not nearly as good as the director’s cut. The original effectively neutralized some of the tension by omitting several scenes which I found valuable when included. For those who haven’t seen the director’s cut, I [...]
Wow, never thought I’d see the day. Gainesville’s 13th street Domino’s, previously one of the top in the nation, is dead. I called today to be told the wait time is 45 minutes to a hour. Never in five years has that been the case. And it’s a Monday evening! [...]
gcupdate is a small Perl hack (~ 50 lines) that removes some of the noise from QFX/OFX payee names so they sort better in spreadsheet tables and accounting software if you wish to sort by payee and not just your assigned categories. I used Config::General to make it possible to hardcode output for entries on [...]
For a long while I had an extra partition on my Windows laptop, a second primary partition, that I had formatted as FAT32. I used it for my Knoppix /home image and whatnot.
Of late, I thought it would be useful to install Debian Sarge natively, so I set out to do exactly that. [...]

At September 27th, 13:37 Eastern, I received two bounced messages from my internal mail server. It was unable to send mail from my fake internal domain through Bellsouth’s SMTP server, which I use as a smarthost. Reviewing the bounce, it was immediately apparent it had a large amount of internal information about the [...]
With the recent decision by Massachusetts to require software vendors to support open standards, it’s worthwhile to note on a somewhat unrelated topic how pleased I am that GnuCash keeps my financial data in an open format. I have not used Quicken for years, but it’s disturbing to note how screwed users of Intuit’s [...]
Having had such success with Satchel’s Pizza, I thought I’d hit another pizza place local to Gainesville, Florida. My friend suggested Momo’s Pizza, so I picked him up around 8 p.m. and we headed on over. It’s located directly across from UF in the UF Plaza. Needless to say, parking is nearly [...]
I finally updated polltc with a few minor changes and fixed a warning.

# Added support for pulling readable names for class minor ids from ENV
# Added support for stacked graphs, but set default to LINE2
# Added the graph into the network group for Munin (Xavier Dutoit, sydesy ltd)
# Changed graph to be stacked [...]
