OK, I'll admit: I gave up. When I realised that I had been skipping my daily picture for a week or two I decided not to pick it up again - I'd rather end it cleanly than have a gap in the series, followed inevitably by another gap later on and so on.
It was, however, fun while it lasted.
When taking the bus to the train station after work today I decided to get off a few stops early go go and check out a local graveyard. I'm rather pleased with some of the pictures I made there, so I put them in a gallery...
Eerst en vooral: credit voor deze methode gaat naar Andreas op de TreoCentral forums. Hier is het topic waar ik de info heb gevonden.
Ik heb een unlocked Palm Pre gekocht in Nederland. Jammer genoeg moet het ding, voordat het echt bruikbaar is, zichzelf eerst activeren via het data netwerk van je provider. Laat ik net overgeschakeld zijn naar Mobile Vikings, een provider die de Pre niet kent.
Oeps.
Internet to the rescue!
In WebOS 1.3 zou het mogelijk zijn om in de activatiewizard je eigen data settings in te geven. Upgraden die handel!
And that's that. The people at FreeFlux were kind enough to provide me with an export of both the database and the files of my account there, I got my domain names sorted out, managed to get the import done properly et voila, I'm personally hosting my blog.
w00t!
Also, I caught up with posting my project365 pictures. Go me!
Oops ... hadn't taken into account that pictures take up diskspace. And that my diskspace on this account is running towards "full". I'm going to see what I can do about that (either host it myself, or work something out with the Freeflux people), but in the meantime I'll stop uploading pictures. I will keep making them, however!
Note to self: sending a PageUp to irssi running in an SSH session in Terminal on OSX Snow Leopard (as opposed to sending it to Terminal itself) is done via fn+shift+up.
That is all.
After seeing it in action I wanted to give TweetDeck a try so, optimist that I am, I tried their installer. It didn't work, complaining about a corrupt .air file. So I figured I'd install the AIR framework first and then see where that would get me. All the way to this error message :
Adobe AIR could not be installed because this is not a supported Linux distribution. Only RPM- and Debian-based Linux distributions are supported.
Gentoo? Source-based distros? Get lost! Fortunately, flashman already ran into the problem and figured out a way to get AIR applications running on his distro and documented it.
One more problem : I don't use Gnome. I don't use KDE. I'm an Awesome fan. AIR doesn't like it when people don't use Gnome or KDE on linux. It requires gnome-keyring or KWallet and it gets confused rather easily. According to the Adobe troubleshooting page, you can set it straight by exporting a variable.
For gnome-keyring:
$ export GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=1
For KWallet:
$ export KDE_FULL_SESSION=1
If you've got a KDE4 based KWallet, you also want to do:
$ export KDE_SESSION_VERSION=4
Ka-boom! TweetDeck on Awesome on Gentoo. And I can start it with Winkey-F10 as well, like so :
awful.key({ modkey }, "F10",
function ()
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("export GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=1;
/opt/air-sdk/bin/adl -nodebug \
/opt/air-apps/TweetDeck/META-INF/AIR/application.xml \
/opt/air-apps/TweetDeck")
end),
Since I write stories every now and then, I decided to start posting them on my blog as well. More content, whee!
It's also a nice opportunity to experiment with a FluxCMS site in two languages...
I started off with a story (English and Dutch versions) I wrote based on the walk back to my car after a NaNoWriMo write-in in Ghent. A vivid imagination can be a scary thing sometimes ...
... are flames that belong to some of the industries in the harbour of Antwerp. Sometimes they're really big flames, too. When seen by day, however, you see the less than pretty part as well : here
