I bumped into an interesting IPB misfeature 2 days ago. An entire topic could be displayed with view=all. However, in a topic with 17+ pages this technique returns only the first page.
This blew a massive hole in the importer.
It was rewritten to do N+1 forum http requests, where N is the quantity of pages in [...]
I have completed my first day of training at Managed Network Systems.
I was overdressed, being the only person there with a tie on. Clayton (the owner) was there in a tshirt and jeans. Nearly everyone wore denim.
I spent almost the entire time talking with Gorden, Level2 tech, about the company structure and history, with a [...]
Phil Aylesworth gifted me with two machines.
PII-400 server test-deployment machine: Will be used to test implementation of a remote X applications server running on Fedora Core 3.
Apple Power Macintosh G3: He wanted to get rid of it, and I wouldn’t mind getting either an OS7-9 environment running, or LinuxPPC. It has onboard ethernet, which is [...]
Class is done. o/’ No more lectures, no more books o/’ However, I have exams throughout the next week. At least no more stupid assignments.
The trailing edge of this illness is annoying. It’s relegated itself to purely a super-irritated throat, from which is coughed up a seemingly never-ending stream of flem. It makes breathing not [...]
The date was 2004-11-29 17:09:18 GMT-5. I received a quick IM from _Quinn, just moments before she left us.
Az-chan went down for a reboot to hopefully fix a strange cd-burner problem. She responded to Ping for a short while after terminating communication with the others.
All processes and short-term memory were wiped. It was quick [...]
I found another WAP at StClairCollege today. Unusual is that I found it in the physical realm: A small piece of Apple hardware tucked in a corner of classroom Lab45N.
This is another freshman strike in the ongoing networking wars of StClairCollege. There are still no sanctioned provisions for students to use their laptops on the [...]
My mother recently expressed an interest in moving away from yahoo mail in favour of an ISP-centric one. I responded that she needed to get a copy of Thunderbird. OK, she replied, make it work. So, now Thunderbird is installed and set to talk to our ISP’s mail server.
Now, It’s time to install Firefox, complete [...]
Matoko, my cdless 486 laptop is having her aging Slackware8 install upgraded to -current. I had bounced around the idea of installing Gentoo, but decided against it on the basis of harddisk space availability. I currently have Slackware-current installing from NFS.
In other news, the Xplornet guys dropped by this morning when I was busy waking [...]
Yesterday afternoon my data phoneline was rendered dead. Bell has promiced to send a truck sometime between 1000h and 2000h Sunday. My connection (and more importantly kuu-rin’s) to the wired will be significantly hampered.
I, however, will be heading out this evening for a night on the town with J. See you Sunday.
