Virtuality

There’s an excellent web page entitled Debian Administration :: Upgrading from Woody to Sarge: Part 4 - Apache2 that I wish I had seen much sooner. This website states how to add mod_rewrite to an Apache2 installation in Debian.

Now that this has been enabled, I hope that the permalink structure looks a little more pretty than some cold and non-meaningful numbers, though the old permalinks will no longer work. Pretty non-permanent perma-links, but that’s my fault for not having figured out how to enable mod_rewrite on my system sooner.

Ah well, sorry for any inconvenience!

On the way home from my sister’s on the south side, Sophie and I walked to the bus stop. The road became extremely quiet, like a scene from 28 Days Later, and we noticed that policemen had blocked of the road at either end, and we were the only people left.

Silence, no cars, no buses, just the two of us. Suddely, the roaring of motorbike engines appeared and the smell of petrol filled the air. It seems that we encountered the MAG Glasgow easter egg run. Several minutes passed, along with a few thousand motorbikes, and riders in crazy costume.

I was given a lovely gift last year, a column that contains several independently lit segments. When combined they produce an interesting random sequence of light combinations. Every time I see this column I get this feeling that it could be displaying valuable information….

Sophon bought me an original 1960’s Roberts Radio Ltd R707, a beautiful transistor-based broadcast radio reciever, it’s a real thing of beauty. I just powered it up for the first time, and it sounds excellent!

I’d love to add some exciting hi-technology into the radio, but there are so many posibilities! I can think of several combinations of technologies! For example, the ability to recieve streaming media when in range of an 802.11b access point would be an excellent idea. A bluetooth transciever on-board could enable the radio to present itself as a set of bluetooth headphones, and play audio from the bluetooth device.

I’m not sure that the available bandwidth over a bluetooth link would enable good quality audio throughput.. well, certainly research is required.

Cheese and Pickle! Sophon joins the world of the web :)

Monitoring progress of a project can provide a fascinating from of motivation. Since using the subversion version control system to keep my source code backed up, I would love to use gkrellm to graph the activity of my repository over time. What does the pattern of my work look like? I’d like to know. At the moment, my C programming is not strong, and it would seem that gkrellm plugins are “shared object files”, which I am assuming must be programmed in C. However, I don’t like to assume, and can’t think of a valid reason why this must be the case, but I simply don’t know. The creation of a gkrellm plugin, in C, that can monitor the activity of a subversion repository would be an excellent project, and provide motivation to become a more competent C programmer.

“It’s not pretty when a web server cries”, said the lonely web server. This is an exceptionally interesting error 404 page.

Here is a version of GoogleX, a slashdot poster found frozen in time for all those I have told about it and yet missed it’s brief existence in the websphere.
