I thought I’d upload the hardware maintenance manual [PDF] for my Lenovo Thinkpad T61…

Here’s a couple of basic relational database concepts and their commonly used synonyms.

The Man in Blue created a HTML5/CSS3 visualization of his own mashup of Definite Daft Punk, a Daft Punk discography. Besides being an interesting showcase for various pieces of HTML5, it is also a pleasing way of visualizing the anatomy of his mashup.
Hobo Lobo of Hamelin is worth looking at even if just for the novelty of how the story and artwork are digitally presented (something to do with a ‘parallaxer’). But, I’d much rather let the creator do the talking:
‘Hobo Lobo of Hamelin is a thing by a dude, who’s all like, “I’M GONNA MAKE A THING.” And then he did. Or is doing. Or, you know, whatever. This dude can be found on the internet. He kerns alphabet soup and rearranges window dressing in the aether to put food on his family.’
#!/bin/bash -e trap "echo ERROR HANDLING HERE." ERR echo "Starting" asdfasdf echo "End"
And when you run it:
Starting piet.sh: line 5: asdfasdf: command not found ERROR HANDLING HERE. End
For the record, about chemical tin PCB treatment:
I just installed Nanny for Google Chrome, which, like LeechBlock for Firefox, should help me to recoup some of the time that is now actively being stolen by YouLube and FaceLook. If I’m too weak on my own to push back technology to its proper servile place, then I might as well use technology to do some of the pushing for me. You’re a tool, you damn computer, nothing more than that!

I am a naked ape. You are too, but some of you are in denial. Privacy is dead. It was assaulted by modern communication technology and burried by Facebook (and you dug your own hole). How are you going to hide your true monkey nature when you’re fully transparent?
Everybody is still frantically protecting their image, but it’s fucking useless to post only your heroics, since everybody can see that everyone is the same. No-one can ascend their nature. No-one can ascend nature, period. We are nature and we are natural, no matter what type of holy shit we sprinkle ourselves with.
Sometimes, I feel inclined to share with you a rawer version of myself.
Whenever one of the servers in /etc/resolv.conf is unreachable, Linux/glibc/whatever isn’t smart enough not to retry it for a while. This results in a lot of services becoming unavailable, because a lot of them do reverse lookups on all incoming connections (like SSH), which will hang for the time-out of the first DNS server query.
There doesn’t seem to be a solution, but I worked around it a little bit by putting this in /etc/resolv.conf (or /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base && resolvconf -u):
options timeout:2 rotate
Still not perfect, but more workable.
My wife’s macbook sometimes keeps waking up when you close it; it gets stuck in an endless sleep-wakeup loop. Here are some links about it that I’ve had in my e-mail forever:
The problem had to do with Bluetooth, apparently.
