Tonite, my prefered browser isn’t working to well. Galeon is crashing when I switch windows. Quite odd as it work before and the only thing I can think of that I changed is the window manager (gnome/sawfish to icewm).
In the mean time I’m reading stuff via Dillo which works amazingly well for being 300kb in size.
Today /. had a story about certain colleges telling their students that “file sharing” is not allowed over campus networks. So how does these rules apply to Mnet? Part of the design of Mnet is that you can’t say any one node is responsible for a file. You don’t “share” a file on Mnet, you just let the Mnet software manage part of your hard drive. Little bits and pieces of a file could be on your hard drive, but you’d never know, you can’t look, it’s encrypted. The idea is that as long two people can pass encrypted messages back and forth, then Mnet could survive. It would be intresting have Mnet run over ICQ especially with ICQ/TLS or AIM. I imagine there would be some problems getting students not to use IM software.
So with a laptop for editing from bed, my new project is to write a little each day about what happened.
Today Laura and I woke up to rain outside our window. We talked about moving to the new house (First weekend in Oct. if you want to come help :), and how nice it would be to have rain in the morning there. We had breakfast on the porch. We went to work on our projects of the day, me doing some work on the release of Mnet (version 0.5.1 is out the door), Laura working on the Ivy Nursery’s website. While I was off in computerlane she also packed some boxes of stuff in the closets. Later I finished addressing one of the last batches of Thank you notes from our wedding (I’ve managed to drag them out beyond the year you are alloted by society to finish them, so if I go to prison you know why)
Blogging in bed… one of life’s better pleasures. Today we are doing a little rusticly, with a cat 5 snaking out of the office and into the bedroom, but no fear: Wifi is on order (AP for $60, PC Card for $35, both after rebate). The laptop is a p133 with 32mb, now running linux. 32mb isn’t enought to run galeon happily, so I use X11.
Galeon session support really comes in handy here. If you didn’t know Galeon has a feature in that when you exit galeon it will save all the urls it has open and when you start it again it reopens them. Also works if it crashes (at least 3 times a week, but with the session feature I don’t mind). And in this case it works great to move to another computer and then ssh in and do “galeon -q; galeon &”
Second Birthday In A Row Ruined By Terrorism Second Birthday In A Row Ruined By Terrorism
HOBOKEN, NJ–In what threatens to be an annual ritual, Rob Bachman, born Sept. 11, 1973, braced himself Tuesday for yet another birthday ruined by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Glad my fellow birthdaymates are a story of national bemusement.
