For those who haven’t seen them, the Really Slick Screensavers they really are some nice eye candy. A number of years ago, Tugrul Galatali ported them to Linux, primarily for use with XScreenSaver.
I’ve been pretty busy the past few months, so I was living without the RSS on my desktop since my move to [...]

Really Slick Screensavers for FC4
1/8/2006 – 2:02 pm
self-made HAL and iPod problem on FC4
12/18/2005 – 2:43 pm
This was originally going to be a post bitching about how much of a pain in the ass FC4 had been for me when compared to its older brother, FC3. However, it turns out the problem I was having that almost sent me back to FC3 was of my own doing.
When FC3 first came [...]
SSH files that can bite you in the ass
10/26/2005 – 1:50 pm
Today, I learned about the existence of ~/.ssh/rc and some of its side effects.
Today, Dave couldn’t figure out why he was unable to launch an X application from a machine with both use. We both started looking into it, and it looked like xauth wasn’t being called to update the .Xauthority file. We [...]
What thunderbird needs to replace mutt for me
8/8/2005 – 9:04 pm
I still mostly use mutt for my personal mail. The times I’m not using mutt, I’m not at an ssh capable terminal and end up using SquirrelMail, but that’s only in times of emergency. Anyway, I was inspired to write these thoughts down after an IRC conversation with Ari.
However, at work I’ve switched [...]
ezRETS
6/24/2005 – 4:00 pm
I normally try to avoid posting about work, as that way often leads to being fired or other unpleasentness. However, I think its okay in this case.
I’m really excited about our beta release of ezRETS an ODBC driver for RETS data sources. This has been one of the coolest projects I’ve worked on [...]

6/23/2005 – 10:27 pm
Last Friday, Sarah and I went to Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry to see the Body Worlds and Game On exhibits. Read about Body Worlds in Part I.

One of the other things that drew us to the museum was the Game On exhibit. Unfortunately, you couldn’t take pictures with a flash [...]
Open the iPod bay doors, HAL
3/14/2005 – 11:36 am
As I’ve written about before I’ve written a .fdi file for my iPod for using with hald on FC3. My .fdi file fixes a few things that hald does by default. To find out more, just read that post!
Anyway, I just wanted to drop a note that I figured out last night how [...]
I’m sorry, Keith, I’m afraid I can’t do that. (FC3, HAL, and iPod)
1/11/2005 – 11:15 pm
I updated my desktop to Fedora Core 3 over the weekend. Technically, Fedora would consider it a fresh install, I just kept /home /work /usr/local and /opt. It all went smoothly thanks to my love of apt for rpm and the various repositories that I’ve talked about before that I use to keep me [...]
