Let there be blather...
Re: Installed... sort of...
(in GNU/Hurd)
Did I mention that X randomly stopped working as well. I have no idea why except that I think something decided to instile a new xorg.conf file. And then trying to test it involves it killing keyboard input too; thus hard reset, fsck... etc. I...

Installed the drive. Burned the first ISO. Some site said you could create a usable system with just the first ISO, so I thought I'd just burn the one, then get on the network and apt-get the rest of what I needed.
Flash forward two days. I ... read more discussion post on Mon, May 12, 2008 - 8:29 AM
Re: Riddle me this....
(in Web Design)
Hmmm. As seems to be common with closed source, there are .so files included in the tarball. When I untarred it I first tried running ./flock-bin -- which is just the binary, and it and failed, looking for libmozjs.so (if I remember correctly). ...

Okay... half a block from the coffee shop I'm in there's a used computer shop. I went over there; the guy looked at me like I was an idiot for wanting "an old generic IDE CD-ROM drive." "DVD? CD-RW?" "No, just whatever old drive. I have limit...

Re: Installed... sort of...

Well, Glenn Morris kindly sent me a trivial patch against src/sysdep.c and Emacs built. That is, make bootstrap errored with a system-call related error. Sounds like a Hurd bug to me. So I ran it again and this time the error was something insc...

> I only wish Flock was made for Feisty Fawn.
I just untared it on Hardy Heron and it started right up for me. What happens when you try? It's nice that they make a GNU/Linux version; it would be nicer if it used a GNU-type install script,... read more discussion post on Fri, May 9, 2008 - 6:44 PM

The other good news is that thought jed ain't Emacs, at least I have jed working.
The other thing I absolutely have to do is figure out how to swap caps-lock and control, like on every other system I use. I hate not having them that way. Ok... read more discussion post on Fri, May 9, 2008 - 9:43 AM

Making progress.
Last night, after finagling with sources.list I was able to get clisp installed and even (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :hunchentoot). So that's a start. Still no luck with Emacs though. I suspect the error has something to ... read more discussion post on Fri, May 9, 2008 - 9:12 AM

I misspoke. I know there is a read-only xml feed. I meant something more like nntp, so you could read and post from the program of your choice.
I wish someone would come along and make nntp cool again. Things would be better. discussion post on Fri, May 9, 2008 - 7:07 AM
Installed... sort of...
(in GNU/Hurd)
Well, I just got Debian/GNU/Hurd/Mach installed on my system on an otherwise more-or-less useless partition. Everything works.
That is, except that X won't start because it "Couldn't allocate video memory" and I can't apt-get install emacs bec... read more discussion post on Thu, May 8, 2008 - 7:21 PM

For that matter, why can't they just feed the tribes out as newsfeeds so I can read and post from gnus like a civilized human being and just bypass their whole grotty WWW-based interface altogether.

Testing Gran Paradiso
(blog entry)
Gran Paradiso (aka Firefox 3.0a5) is available to download and test. It is alpha software. I've already had it crash once randomly while testing some css. And your old add-ons won't work. But you can tell grandma you're on the cutting edge, or...

I have nothing to post about. I was just sick of that last post still being on top. I mean, really.
Brief Twelve-Year Retrospective
(blog entry)
Today is Friday, the 13th of April. Twelve years ago today, my father died in Denver. He was 62.
I am not here to wax poetic about him. It's been twelve years, after all. He's already had his obituary. This is my obituary for the last twel... read more
