This one I might be able to afford. Still looks fun.

History Meme

Matthew — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 01:57:24 +0000

Finally a meme I don’t mind participating in. Sadly most of the interesting bits are hidden behind that “sudo”.

% history -1000 | awk '{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}'|sort -rn|head 194 cd 156 sudo 73 rm 50 ls 45 less 44 vi 31 dpkg 22 kill 21 perl 21 man

Following along with my “new instrument” posts, here is the Tenori.

Posting Styles

Matthew — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 01:57:14 +0000

The keepers of netiquette, have long fought over the correct way to reply to email, mailing list,forum, usenet, etc.. messages. Even though I almost always top or inline post, bottom posting is frequently expounded by digerati as the most appropriate and logical way to reply. Well this week I think I’ve come across what might be the definitive reason(at least for me) that top posting is in fact the one true way.

On a mailing list for a project I run, a list subscriber requested that replies sent to the list be top posted instead of bottom/inline. The subscriber happened to be vision impaired and it said that it was extremely difficult to follow a thread when his screen reader had to dig through all the extra/old text to find the new content in the reply.

So at least for me, until someone comes up with a screen reader that can deal with large amount of quoted text easily or somehow “skip to the content” in mail messages, I will stick with top posting and the rare occurrence that I need to inline post to clarify something.

OpenID

Matthew — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 00:08:21 +0000

You can now sign in with an OpenID when you leave comments on the blog. Why did I added this? To do my little part to try and break some of the ID silos.

If you have a LiveJournal account you already have an OpenID account.

Google once again does the “not evil” thing and opens Google Talk to the rest of the Jabber network(S2S).
Also, Colson took his first and hopefully last “Aqua Dump” tonight.

Now to expand this to package storage/loading

/usr/bin/gmail

Matthew — Mon, 28 Jun 2004 08:44:00 +0000

Now that I’m 1337 and all with a new Gmail account, I’ve been thinking of ways to use a free 1Gb of space. My kooky idea: a version of Knoppix that could boot a minimal kernel then pull in packages stored as mail message in Gmail.
